Colorado Hockey Now

The Avalanche are back on the ice this morning for their first practice since that abhorrent performance against the Nashville Predators on the road. I'm not sure exactly what Jared Bednar has in store — whether we'll see new line combinations or a shakeup of any kind. But, this is one of the more intriguing practices, at least to me, in quite some time.

Around The NHL

Trade Boards:We have some updated trade boards around hockey circles that are worth keeping an eye on. The NHL trade deadline is still many months away, but the in-season trading could ramp up well before that. It already has in some ways with the Connor Hellebuyck deal.

Neither of them includes Avalanche players. But some of those names could be enticing for Colorado as the season drags on.

Detroit Hockey Now:Michal Postava had a magnificent performance against Edmonton to help the Red Wings defeat Connor McDavid and the rest of the 8-3-1 Oilers.

New Jersey Hockey Now:The Devils begin their three-game West Coast road trip in Dallas today. Will Connor Hellebuyck play? If not, then what about tomorrow at Ball Arena?

Philly Hockey Now:Flyers' veteran defenseman is going to miss more time than initially thought.

Florida Hockey Now: The return of Seth Jones to Chicago was a success for the former Blackhawks defenseman. Sunday was his first game back at United Center despite being traded two seasons ago.

Forever Blueshirts:The Rangers had another tough performance, this time falling to a Los Angeles Kings team that struggled to score goals for most of the season. Until now.

Carolina Hockey Now:Where does Alexander Nikishin go from here after taking a low $3 million offer? It was reported by Nick Kypreos on the Real Kyper & Bourne Show that the Hurricanes and Rangers had a trade in place over the summer, pending a Nikishin extension with New York. The Rangers had offered him somewhere in the range of six years and $50 million and he turned it down. If things don't go well this season, will Nikishin even get that much on his next deal?
