Another new right-winger has emerged for the Avalanche, and at this rate, the club will be entirely rebuilt on the right side of the ice in the Oct. 3 regular-season opener against the visiting Calgary Flames.
Journeyman Jayson Megna practiced on Colorado’s fourth line Tuesday and coach Jared Bednar said he’s definitely in the opening-night picture if All-Star Mikko Rantanen remains unsigned and Colin Wilson begins the season on injured reserve. Megna’s linemates are Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and Matt Calvert, who both have guaranteed contracts and locks to be in the opening-night lineup.
