EDMONTON, Alberta — The Avalanche declined to skate at Rexall Place this morning, despite the relatively late game start against the Oilers tonight (8 p.m.). Colorado begins a consecutive-night set, playing at Vancouver on Sunday, so the team doesn’t want to skate too much during the stretch. I will speak to coach Patrick Roy and a player or two pregame and put some notes together.
Terry Frei had practice Friday at home and his advance package is here.
