Last week, the Colorado Avalanche made the surprise move of demoting 20-year old forward Tyson Jost to the AHL. After struggling through a season and a half in the NHL, the team decided it was time to send Jost to the Eagles to work on his game.
After giving the youngster opportunities in the top-6 and on the top power play unit, head coach Jared Bednar had slowly been shrinking Jost’s role on the Avalanche over the past month. Culminating in less than 10 minutes of ice time in each of his last two games.
