Avalanche shakes up forward depth after unsatisfying 3 games, fourth-line change coming

Three games were enough for the Colorado Avalanche to shake up its forward depth and consider reshuffling lines.

The Avs placed fourth-line center Lukas Sedlak on waivers and assigned winger Ben Meyers to the AHL affiliate Colorado Eagles on Tuesday. Both have averaged fewer than eight minutes of ice time per game for the Avalanche (2-1-0), which struggled against the Minnesota Wild’s fourth line in a 6-3 win Monday night.

Meyers scored a deflection goal in the win, but according to Natural Stat Trick, Colorado only had two scoring chances while he was on the ice. Minnesota had four.
