‘It’s frustrating’: Addison scratched against Avalanche

We thought it was going to be a normal game on Wednesday night against the Colorado Avalanche, but head coach Dean Evason decided to throw a wrench into those plans. Now, we have to swim through the muck that he caused by healthy-scratching Minnesota Wild defenseman Calen Addison and opting for Alex Goligoski instead.

Evason defended his choice before the game by repeating some of the same issues that he had with Addison’s play when he did the same thing in December.

“He knows that there’s some things he has to correct in his game and we’ve asked him to and we haven’t seen the level of improvement that we want,” he said.
