Yesterday, Colorado Avalanche coach Jared Bednar called Cale Makar<\/a><\/strong>, Josh Manson<\/a><\/strong>, Brent Burns<\/a><\/strong>, and Artturi Lehkonen<\/a><\/strong> day-to-day, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette<\/a>. However, after today\u2019s skate, Bednar has a positive update this afternoon on their current injury list, saying, \u201cI think everyone is going to be available, but we will see.<\/a>\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

During this afternoon\u2019s skate, Manson was on the ice in a regular jersey, which is a great sign. Additionally, Sam Malinski<\/a>, who had been skating in a non-contact jersey, returned to full participation today, though he has not been listed day-to-day. Makar, Burns, and Lehkonen were still not on the ice. Taking necessary precautions with a banged-up D-core, defenseman Alex Gagne was at practice with the Avalanche today.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The Avalanche still have two days off before they begin their Western Conference Finals matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday night. The Avalanche bested Vegas in their regular-season meetings this year, going 2-0-1. However, when they last met in Round 2 of the 2021 postseason, Vegas eliminated Colorado in six games. With a Cup Final appearance on the line, the extra rest could prove pivotal for a banged-up Avs squad.<\/p>\n
