Ben Meyers has been reassigned to the Colorado Eagles by the Colorado Avalanche. Meyers had 1 goal and 4 SOG in 4 games with the Avs. The roster freeze was in place during the reassignment. Sam Girard, who had been absent since November 18th, returned to the Avs for morning skate, but won't play immediately. Cale Makar is expected to play, while Andrew Cogliano and Caleb Jones are scratches for the game.
Cale Makar WILL play. Caleb Jones and Andrew Cogliano are scratches. https://t.co/jkNAt0pdK5
Cale Makar is on the ice for warmups, but no Andrew Cogliano. Ben Meyers is out there too. #GoAvsGo https://t.co/JLcBJzwJ4w
Sam Girard is back!!!! Coach Bednar said that he is going to get up to speed and treat this as if he were coming back from an injury. The last game Girard appeared in was Nov 18th against Dallas. #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkOfficial https://t.co/FwtwoLmfmn
Updates from #Avs coach Jared Bednar: - Sam Girard won't play tonight. Needs time to get back up to speed, but he's 100 pct healthy - Cale Makar is questionable - Nathan MacKinnon and Ross Colton took maintenance days, expected to play - Bednar agrees w/what Devon Toews said
So, to recap: MacKinnon and Colton maintenance, will play tonight. Makar may play. “We’ll see.” Girard will not play. Treating it like an injury. He’s healthy now but they have to get him up to speed.
Girard will not play tonight. Bednar says he'll treat it like any other player coming back from an injury. 100% healthy, but first day back on the ice. MacKinnon and Colton both skipped morning skate for maintenance days. Makar is a possibility tonight. per Bednar
Colton and MacKinnon were maintenance this morning. Cale Makar is a "we'll see" for tonight.
Per Jared Bednar, Girard won't play today. They're going to get him up to speed and get him in the lineup when he's ready.
Alexandar Georgiev is in the starter's net for the Avalanche and will likely be the starter. Sam Girard (!) and Cale Makar and Andrew Cogliano are on the ice for morning skate Nathan MacKinnon is not on the ice.
Samuel Girard is back with the Avs for morning skate. Cale Makar is also here in blue (PP1 colors)
After a tough loss in Chicago, Thursday morning brought news that should bring a smile to everyone's faces... Sam Girard back on the ice with the Avalanche. https://t.co/Zb3ZOjE49A
Big development - Sam Girard on the ice prior to morning skate.
Defenseman Sam Girard is back with the Avs - skating prior to morning skate with Cogliano. #GoAvsGo
Interesting move with the roster freeze now in place. Meyers has played 4 games w 1 goal and 4 SOG. I'm thinking that Cogliano must still be out after the hit against SJ. #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/MI6EIjs2Ue
