The Colorado Avalanche offered defenseman Jared Cowen a paid tryout contract before training camp. At the time of writing, Cowen was still part of the team.
Could it be that the team is strongly considering him for a roster spot? The answer is yes, it would appear so. He has appeared in three of the five preseason games so far for the Avalanche:
- September 19 vs Vegas Golden Knights
- September 23 vs Minnesota Wild
- September 25 vs Dallas Stars
If the Colorado Avalanche don’t cut Cowen before Thursday’s preseason finale against the Knights in Vegas, it’s a good bet he plays in that game, too — possibly with a potential defensive partner for the season.
