The Avalanche host T.J. Hensick and the rest of the St Louis Blues tonight at the Pepsi Center. Following the preseason trend, many of the Avs' top players return to the lineup tonight having skipped the last road game. Craig Anderson, Matt Duchene, Paul Stastny, Milan Hejduk, Chris Stewart, Scott Hannan and John-Michael Liles are all expected to play tonight. While those guys have their roster spot locked up, there are still battles for open rosters spots and all of the so-called bubble players are in the lineup tonight: Mark Olver (who leads the team in scoring), Mike Carman, Kevin Porter, Ryan Stoa, Patrick Bordello, Philippe Dupuis, Ryan Wilson, Jonas Holos, Kevin Shattenkirk and Colby Cohen. Keep your eye on them tonight. Oh wait, forgot about that pesky non-televised thing. In that case, keep your ears on them.
