Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Your Colorado Avalanche take on the Ducks of Anaheim tonight at the Pepsi Center. Game time is 9:00pm ET, 7:00pm local and will be broadcast on Altitude 2 with Moser’s radio call available as usual.
The Avs returned from their bye week to a vigorous practice including push-ups and a bag skate yesterday. Matt Nieto impressed in his 1st game since getting claimed off waivers so he is now a top-6 forward. Varly is once again ready to play after his 17th groin injury during his Avs career. Francois Beauchemin’s turnovers and incompetent play return to the lineup after a game off for illness, Eric Gelinas undeservedly makes room.
