The Colorado Avalanche announced this morning that forward Jonathan Drouin will not play today due to an upper-body injury. Drouin's injury, according to Head Coach Jared Bednar, is not at risk of getting worse if he pushes through games.

“It’s not an injury you need to manage,” Avs coach Jared Bednar told reporters after Drouin missed practice Tuesday in Denver. “When he’s good, he’s good. We’ll push through to break as best as we can. If he can play, he can play. If he can’t, he can’t. His injury, there’s no risk of it getting worse.”

It felt like the Avalanche weren’t going to get anything past Sergei Bobrovsky and his posts. The Panther’s goalie was excellent to start the game.

It was a historic performance for the Colorado Avalanche as they moved into a tie for third place in the Central Division with Dallas.

Toews has a helper in back-to-back games after going three contests without a point. The top-pairing defenseman is up to 22 points, 77 shots on net, 54 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 42 appearances.

The Colorado Avalanche have already swung a few trades this season. But what will they do with the salary cap space they still have?

If last season with the Avalanche was a dream for Jonathan Drouin, the start to this season has to feel like a bit of a nightmare.

In the second of three-consecutive Central-Division matchups, the Avalanche host the Minnesota Wild. Monday marks the second of four meetings between the teams this season, as they’ll meet in Denver on February 28 and in St. Paul on March 11.

Colorado Avalanche coach Jared Bednar had a blunt, one-word summation after his team rallied for a 3-2 overtime win against the New York Rangers, calling it “unimpressive.”
