Overview
- Zachary L’Heureux practiced fully and is slated to make his Avalanche season debut Wednesday in Winnipeg, coach Jared Bednar told media.
- Logan O’Connor also skated as a full participant and Bednar said he expects one or both forwards to dress in one of the next two games.
- Colorado will revert from an 11‑forward/7‑defense look to a 12‑forward/6‑defense roster as soon as one injured forward is ready to play.
- The team adjusted its power play at Tuesday’s practice by adding Nazem Kadri to the top unit in an effort to restore special‑teams effectiveness.
- The returns come after a 2‑0 start with 14 goals, a performance that has cut top‑line minutes and opened chances for depth players while the coaching staff manages L’Heureux’s physical edge given his past suspensions.
