GDT: Avalanche vs Blackhawks 12/27/2014, Game 35

Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Your Colorado Avalanche take on the Hawks of Chicago tonight at the Pepsi Center. Game time is 9:00pm in the ET, 7:00pm lima and can be seen on Altitude and GCL with Moser's radio call available from the Avs' site.

Not much news over the Xmas break obviously. Patrick Bordeleau has been placed back on IR so there is a spot open on the roster once again. The "trade freeze" lifts at midnight so we have access to our prospects in Lake Erie starting then.

Coach Roy remarked after practice that Varly will start the next game vs STL and the staff will make some decisions about which goalies stay or go down the road. He also reiterated that Picks will stay up as long as he's playing but will go back to Cleveland if Varly takes over starting most of the games. Stay tuned. No changes in the lineup tonight other than the goalie swap.
