Throw out what you know about the Avalanche line combinations and defensive pairings. Five consecutive losses has the roster in flux. What will it take for Colorado to break its funk?
“There will probably be a little bit more experimentation,” coach Jared Bednar said Wednesday.
The Avs (8-5-2) host the Predators (9-4-2) on Thursday night and the easy excuse for why Colorado has scored only two goals in its past three games is the continued injury absence of forwards Gabe Landeskog, Mikko Rantanen and Colin Wilson. Bednar said the team continues “waiting and watching” the progress of their rehabilitation.
