TAMPA, Fla. — It was another maintenance morning for a handful of Avalanche forwards on Sunday at Amalie Arena. Gabe Landeskog, Nazem Kadri, Valeri Nichushkin and Andre Burakovsky each skipped the skate ahead of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Colorado coach Jared Bednar said he’s hopeful all four banged-up forwards will be available to play as the club prepares for its second consecutive chance to win the Stanley Cup.
Landeskog has had an ailment that has prevented him from participating in morning skates throughout the postseason. Kadri is hoping to play in his third straight game after returning from a broken thumb.
