Following a one-game hiatus from the Avalanche lineup, defenseman Chris Bigras is back among the team’s top-six blue-liners. Bigras, 22, is expected to log substantial minutes Tuesday night against the Dallas Stars at the Pepsi Center. He was a healthy scratch in Thursday’s 4-3 loss to the visiting St. Louis Blues.
“It’s a different outlook, to get to watch a game,” Bigras said after Tuesday’s optional morning skate. “I was pretty comfortable with my game. There’s a couple things I went over with the coaching staff, some minor details, but overall I think I’ve done a pretty good job so far and I’m just trying to continue that.
