After a successful Charity Golf Tournament the Colorado Avalanche dived straight back into practice ahead of their next preseason game. After being sidelined with a lower body injury just as he had finished recovering from shoulder surgery, Colin Wilson was finally back in a regular contact jersey.
Erik Johnson and Nikita Zadorov were also both back in regular contact jerseys after being out with injuries.
Zadorov, often referred to as a menace by the social media team, was quick to slide back into that role.
Everyone was clearly glad to be back on the ice, and what better way to end practice than with a group hug.
