Experiment is over, Avalanche reverts to former line combinations
David Zalubowski, The Associated PressFor the struggling Avalanche, going back to the drawing board includes returning to the line combinations that saw the team begin the season 17-7-5. Following a one-game shakeup of the lines that backfired in Saturday’s 5-1 loss to Vancouver, Avs coach Jared Bednar will revert to what they previously looked like Tuesday night when Colorado tries to salvage a victory out of a four-game home stretch.
With center Nathan MacKinnon back with Gabe Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen and wingers Matt Nieto and Matt Calvert reunited with Carl Soderberg, Colorado hopes to snap a three-game losing streak against Columbus, which has lost five in a row.
