I just checked the lineup on the NHL app and it says Mack will be in the lineup, so he must be ok.

Excellent news!

Well, Mack didn't play, Makar and Byram are still hurt, and Miska sucks. That about sums it up.

Miska does suck. Totally blew the ducks game

When it comes to injuries for the Colorado Avalanche, each day seems to bring a mix of good and bad news.

Today's update is on trend with that, with Matt Calvert being back in the Avs lineup and Nathan MacKinnon on track to return to game action later this week. However, Colorado added another player to the training room as Conor Timmins will miss tonight's contest against the Arizona Coyotes at Ball Arena with an upper-body injury.

Also out for the team is Bowen Byram (upper body), Pavel Francouz (lower body), Dennis Gilbert (upper-body injury and COVID protocol), Erik Johnson (upper body), Cale Makar (upper body) and J.T. Compher (upper body), who missed his first contest of the campaign on Saturday versus the Anaheim Ducks.

The Avs need to do something with the goaltending.

Used to love Gary Thorne and Bill Clement on the calls. Happy to hear this...

The NHL sure as shit needs the revenue.

Kadri just undressed the kings and their goaltender. Awesome goal. Just filthy!!

Just saw what the Avs are doing tonight. I hate the they have to do this but I'm so glad that they are.

The Avs are really good.

The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today that the team has acquired forward Carl Soderberg from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for forwards Ryder Rolston and Josh Dickinson.

Soderberg, 35, has appeared in 34 games for the Blackhawks this season, tallying 15 points (7g/8a). He's tied for sixth on the team in points and his 1:30 of average short-handed ice time per game ranks fourth among Blackhawks forwards. Soderberg ranks third on the team in faceoffs won (194) and faceoff-win percentage (51.5%).

Selected by the St. Louis Blues in the second round (49th overall) of the 2004 NHL Draft, Soderberg has played in 586 career NHL games with the Boston Bruins, Avalanche, Arizona Coyotes and Blackhawks, totaling 295 points (110g/185a). He has 12 points (2g/10a) in 41 career Stanley Cup Playoff contests and became the second player in Bruins history to make his Stanley Cup Playoff debut in the Final when he played Game 5 against Chicago in 2013.

Havent kept up with Hockey much but judging by their record and the scoreboard when they play they look pretty good. Any chance of a run for a cup this year? Thoughts?

Barring any major injuries, the Avs will contend.

LOL- ya dude. We were close last year with an entire squad injured.

This is the best team I have ever seen assembled. Sometimes they play that way. Sometimes not. Injuries will be the deciding factor.

Tampa is also very stacked. Toronto is playing out of their minds too. We have to remember that the division games are making some teams look better than others. But yes. Vegas is the only team in our way imo. We are better than they are. Sakic has pushed all the chips in too. Bringing back nemeth, soda and dubnyk, while also singing New Hook to roster too. Sakic has brought in the bodies for the cup run. This is like the 98 broncos team. I will be disappointed if we do not get all the way. Ive never seen a team this good before. I still am in awe that Joe was able to build this.
