With such a condensed time frame for the NHL to play out their 2021 season, the Colorado Avalanche open training camp Sunday morning - only ten days before their home opener against the St. Louis Blues. Today, they announced their 40-man training camp roster, consisting of 22 forwards, 14 defensemen, and four goalies.
Brandon Saad (F) and Devon Toews (D) will make their official Avalanche debuts at this camp, along with depth signings Miikka Salomaki (F), Kiefer Sherwood (F), Mike Vecchione (F), Kyle Burroughs (D), and Dennis Gilbert (D).
There are not many surprises but two unexpected players — defensemen Peter Tischke and Keaton Middleton — have been signed to PTOs.
