Sunday Open Skate: Avs Are Packing Their Bags

Colorado gets three days off as they prepare for their longest road trip of the season.

Breaking news: the borscht-covered nachos are being taken off the Pepsi Center menu. Why? Because Nikita Zadorov will no longer be inactive on Avalanche game days. Instead, he'll be headed to San Antonio to strike fear into the hearts of the Rampage's AHL opponents. General Manager Joe Sakic talked with the Denver Post's Mike Chambers yesterday and intimated Zadorov needed to be playing top-line minutes, as well as getting priority looks on the penalty kill and power play.
