@cmasisak22 #Avs coach Jared Bednar said Makar, Byram and Lehkonen were all maintenance days. He said he’s not concerned about Lehkonen missing the game in Vegas at that time.
@rboulding Per NHLStats: With an assist on Mikko Rantanen's first-period marker, Cale Makar became the sixth defenseman this season to hit 10 points, joining Quinn Hughes, Adam Fox, Shea Theodore, Moritz Seider and Travis Sanheim.

@megangley Bo Byram, Cale Makar, AND Caleb Jones on the ice for warmups.
@Peter_Baugh Cale Makar and Bowen Byram are both banged up, Jared Bednar said. He expects at least one to play tomorrow. #Avs

@rboulding Per the Avs: The last time the Avalanche were shut out in back-to-back contests was during the 2016-17 season (Dec. 20 vs. Minnesota and Dec. 22 vs. Toronto).

@cmasisak22 Neither Cale Makar nor Ryan Johansen said anything inflammatory about the play that ended with him into the boards.
Makar said he thinks he’ll be fine, and he just got lucky.

@jessemontano_ Cale Makar keeps coming and going from the locker room. He's on the ice now, and has taken a few shifts in this period, but just something to keep an eye on.

@Peter_Baugh Cale Makar is back on the ice playing. He came to the bench to start the third, went to the room, and now is back on the ice.

@ESPNStatsInfo With his assist tonight, Cale Makar becomes the fastest defenseman in NHL history to 250 career points, doing so in 241 games. The previous mark was held by Hall-of-Famer Bobby Orr, who did so in 247 games. https://t.co/xANVHhIjRv

@RyanSura18 Lehkonen Ranks Amongst Team This Season:
1.67 xGF (1st) 7 High Danger Chances (1st) 11 Shots on Goal (2nd) 18:55 TOI/GP (3rd amongst forwards)
This guy is currently pointless, but if he keeps this volume up we’re looking at a BIG season from Lehkonen https://t.co/vsEJmI1I2f

@cmasisak22 Nate MacKinnon tied his career high with 14 shots on goal last night. An NHL player has had 14-plus SOGs a total of 24 times since 1959-60 (how long the NHL has tracked them).
There are two players who have done it twice:
MacKinnon and Alex Ovechkin

@megangley Jared Bednar confirmed that Pavel Francouz is on LTIR. They will carry three goaltenders on this road trip. Prosvetov will join Annunen and Georgiev on the road.

@megangley Colorado has reassigned Justus Annunen and Riley Tufte to the Colorado Eagles.
@megangley Nathan MacKinnon talked about how the powerplay has come together so far: “Val’s awesome there (as the netfront guy on PP2) and I'm sure we'll see him at some point (on PP1). Lehkonen is great too - we have tons of really good options and hopefully it works. We’re definitely… https://t.co/lGe3sfq10q
@Peter_Baugh #Avs defenseman Bowen Byram felt OK postgame after taking this hit in the third period, I’m told. The team will keep tabs on how he’s feeling in the coming days in case something pops up.
Colorado is off tomorrow and Saturday. https://t.co/YUiPaa8YYy
@Peter_Baugh Josh Manson and Mikko Rantanen won’t play tonight, but Jared Bednar said he expects both to be ready opening night. He’s not sure if Andrew Cogliano will be ready opening night but said he’s close.
@megangley Jared Bednar said that Pavel Francouz is still dealing with lower-body injuries. “I don’t have a lot of information on him except that he isn’t going to be ready.”
@Peter_Baugh Injury updates from Jared Bednar:•Mikko Rantanen is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Bednar isn’t concerned about him missing opening night. •Ben Meyers and Jason Polin both are day-to-day with LBIs. •Josh Manson took a planned off day.
@rboulding Jared Bednar said the expectation is Manson will be ready for opening night. He’s expected to get into a preseason game as well. Pavel Francouz will not be ready to start the season. https://t.co/8I0r5WNvL3
@evanrawal When asked if he’s 100%, Makar said he’s “getting there.”
He wants to get into a preseason game if he can to shake some rust off. He didn’t play any a few years back and felt he had a slow start to the year.

@Peter_Baugh Jared Bednar didn’t have a timeline on Pavel Francouz’s injury. He said that, for now, Justus Annunen is the team’s No. 2 goalie.

@kylefredrickson Bednar on discussions with Val Nichushkin: "I saw him early in the offseason. We talked a little bit more here recently. I have a lot of faith in Val for who he is as a player and person. … He's had a really good offseason of training. He's excited to be back."

@rboulding Francouz won't hit the ice. Makar will not either. Cale is day-to-day. Hope is for full go early next week.

@DNVR_Avalanche Chris MacFarland said Josh Manson is expected to be ready for the start of training camp after an off-season procedure. He said Pavel Francouz is “banged up” following his off-season procedure, and his timeline is uncertain. Francouz is back in town and will be evaluated more… https://t.co/5Xmk5cRzsP

@frank_seravalli #Avs appear to be examining options on the goalie market. Sounds like Pavel Francouz has not completely recovered from his offseason adductor surgery and there is concern he will miss some time.Francouz made just 16 starts for the Avalanche last season.@DailyFaceoff
