The Avalanche yesterday got a well-deserved rest day after obliterating the Blues 8-0 on Friday night. All of us were waiting to see how the Avs would recover after their opening night defeat, and boy did they respond with vengeance. That is the Avalanche we all know and love.
There were, however, a couple of members of the Avs to hit the ice on Saturday, both of whom were feeling their legs after COVID protocols. Erik Johnson and Bowen Byram took to the ice on Saturday and has caused the squad to be changed up a little bit before the Avs take a trip to Southern California to face the Los Angeles Kings.
