Jared Bednar received some clarity from the league on why a whistle wasn't blown to stop a play with his goaltender Scott Wedgewood hurt and down on the ice.

Thursday's victory was especially impressive; the Avalanche trailed 3-0 midway through the second period and 5-3 with under three minutes remaining in the final frame. Cale Makar and Jonathan Drouin scored late before Devon Toews sealed the comeback triumph in overtime.

So many players were on the ice at Colorado Avalanche practice Monday that callup Jason Polin didn’t have a stall in the team’s locker room. In total, eight players who hadn’t been available two days ago when the Avs played in Winnipeg were on the ice at Family Sports Center.
