Samuel Girard, a defenseman for the Colorado Avalanche, has been out of the lineup due to not being cleared by the NHLPA.

Sam Malinski, who was reassigned to the AHL, has seen 14 games of NHL action with 1 goal and 4 assists. Girard is set to make his comeback on Sunday, marking his return after nearly six weeks away. Girard expressed feeling like a new person and is ready to return to the Avalanche lineup.
Samuel Girard is ready to return to the #Avs lineup after nearly six weeks away. "I am a new person. I found myself again. I feel more light, instead of having a lot of stuff in my head and my body as well. It just feels good." https://t.co/qUHZ7cOh8p

Sam Girard will return tomorrow. I asked him how important it was for him to be as open and honest as he was with his statement. Great answer from him. “I was tired of hiding everything.” https://t.co/wgwGtGmk6w

It was confirmed to me that Sam Girard will NOT play tonight in STL As for the reports that he hasn’t been “cleared” by the NHLPA.. my understanding is that it’s just a matter of him being moved onto the team’s active roster, which could happen as soon as he feels ready to go.
At this time, Girard has not been cleared by the NHLPA to play in games but has been cleared for practices. @jessemontano_ hinted that Girard could be back in the lineup any day now. #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/JD4s5AV7tl
