Greer went down with a concussion during preseason but has recovered and played 2 games for the Rampage, netting 2 assists. He played 5 games for the Avalanche last season, good for 1 assist.
Bourque played 6 games for the Avs last season, scoring 0 points. A San Antonio mainstay, he had 33 points in 61 games in the 2016-2017 campaign. He has appeared in 5 games for the Rampage this season, scoring 1 goal with an assist to go along with it.
These call-ups are in response to the loss of Tyson Jost and J.T. Compher who are both expected to be out of the line up for 2-3 weeks. Compher got good news yesterday when he learned that surgery wouldn’t be necessary for his broken thumb.
