Joey Hishon centered one of the Avalanche's most opportunistic lines Sunday.
Hishon and European-born wingers Borna Rendulic and Dennis Everberg didn't score until late in the third period at Magness Arena — and their team lost — but for evaluation purposes, the three 23-year-olds came up aces in the annual Burgundy-White intrasquad scrimmage.
"They had a good day. So did a lot of guys," Avs coach Patrick Roy said. "We mention many times how excited we are about the depth, and here it is. It's nice to see."
Based on contracts, Hishon, Rendulic and Everberg will probably begin the season in the American Hockey League, playing for the San Antonio Rampage.
