The Avalanche recalled defenseman Anton Lindholm ahead of its two-game road trip that goes through St. Louis and Chicago this week.
Lindholm, who has one goal in 23 games for the American Hockey League’s Colorado Eagles, has yet to play in the NHL this season. The Avs are without D-men Erik Johnson and Cale Makar, both of whom skated in red non-contact sweaters Sunday. Both are out with upper-body injuries, both believed to be to the shoulder. Johnson has missed nine games and Makar has missed three.
Neither will travel or play on the road trip, coach Jared Bednar said after Sunday’s practice.
