Colorado Avalanche prospect Tyson Jost has cleared United States immigration and is slated to play his first NHL game against the St. Louis Blues at home.
With just six games remaining in the worst season of Avalanche history (though not franchise history), there has been little to get excited about this year. GM Joe Sakic announced as far back as January he knew the team wasn’t making the playoffs this year, and the Avs were officially eliminated in early March.
However, the young center who went 10th-overall in last year’s draft has brought new life to Avs Nation.
