The Colorado Avalanche recalled forward A.J. Greer from the Colorado Eagles on Monday, and he joined the team flight to Minnesota. Where he apparently ate nachos in the club seats because he was a healthy scratch against the Minnesota Wild.

The Avs ran the same lineup as they had in their last home game, against the New Jersey Devils:

What most Avs fans focused on is the fact the Gabriel Bourque is still in the lineup.
