For the Avalanche to get to where it wants to go, its call-ups need to keep delivering.
After depth was an issue for the Avs last year, especially down the stretch of the regular season and into the playoffs, this year’s team is getting consistent play from its fringe players promoted from the minor league Colorado Eagles.
Case in point: Forward Ben Meyers got called up from the AHL on Monday, then promptly went out and scored that night in the Avs’ 6-5 comeback win over Calgary at Ball Arena.
“I thought (Meyers) was rock-solid defensively, and then he also chipped in a big goal,” Avs head coach Jared Bednar said.
