The Colorado Avalanche continues to find life difficult with the absence of several key players on the injured list. Luckily since the last edition of this series in early January, three players have been involved.
Those three players include Ivan Ivan, Scott Wedgewood, and John Ludvig - the latter of three now holding it down in Loveland with the Colorado Eagles. But four still remain, with three big names in particular missing on the front lines.

Nichushkin looked as though he was coming back sometime this week, especially with his most recent appearances at practice as a full participant.
