Colorado Avalanche defensive prospect Chris Bigras was a big winner at the second day of rookie training camp.
Bigras is a smallish defenseman — 6-foot-1, 189 pounds — that made a big impression with the OHL Owen Sound Attack last season. While skating as an alternate captain, Bigras earned a ridiculous 71 points (20 goals, 51 assists) in just 62 games.
At the conclusion of the OHL season, Bigras signed on with the Lake Erie Monsters, then the Colorado Avalanche’s AHL affiliate. In seven games he earned four points.
Chris Bigras is touted as a two-way defenseman, but his smallish size and sharp scoring ability suggest offensive defenseman.
