PHILADELPHIA — The good news for the Avalanche is that the horizon might be visible, if this hint from Alex Newhook is any indicator.
“It’s kind of a day-to-day mindset for us. Has been since the start of the year,” he was saying in response to a question about Colorado’s injury misfortune. “We have guys dropping a lot. I think we should have a few guys coming back, too.”
Duly noted as the Avs (13-9-1) return home from a withering four-game road trip. They finished it 1-3-0, with new blows to Josh Manson, Artturi Lehkonen and perhaps most detrimentally Nathan MacKinnon.
