After going through a practice in a regular colored jersey the day before, defenseman Chris Bigras was in an orange no-contact jersey with the Avalanche Tuesday.
After coming off the ice, he said he still has one concussion protocol test to pass before he is cleared to return to the lineup.
In light of all of that, including the fact that he didn't fully participate in practice Tuesday, it seems unlikely that Bigras will play against Vancouver in the opener of a crucial three-game road trip Wednesday night.
