The Avalanche are the first team to have wrapped up their 82 game regular season schedule. We have a week of rest, practice, and preparation for the first round playoff matchup with the Dallas Stars.
First things first... all of the AHL call-ups have been reassigned back to the Eagles. This doesn't necessarily mean all of our injured players are healthy as the Eagles still have 3 games left to play and the Avs have no games this week, so they've been sent down to play their games and could still return for the playoff roster if needed.
We were missing 10 players over the past week, all considered day-to-day other than Landeskog who had a very successful conditioning stint with the Eagles. Landy hasn't been recalled from the conditioning stint yet. There's a slight chance he sticks with them and goes on the road to play the 3rd game of his stint(allowed 3 games), although that's unlikely. We will see what tomorrow holds when the team should be hitting the ice for practice.
Coach Bednar spoke to ESPN yesterday before our final game and stated that only Lindgren is a concern to potentially not be ready for game 1. No concerns with any of MacKinnon, Makar, Toews, Nichushkin, Lehkonen, Drouin, Manson, or Colton.
We can use this thread to track our practices this week and readiness before the playoff series with Dallas starts.
