A tweet and a blog post today from Colorado's own Adrian Dater has informed the hockey world that the Avalanche are getting healthy again. They are expecting Milan Hejduk, Kyle Cumiskey, Matt Hendricks and Adam Foote to be ready to go when the season restarts in less than a week.The real player of note from the four is Hejduk, as he's recovering from knee surgery and is the big scorer of the four. He went down at the end of January and was scheduled to be out until the end of February, which we are now into. So, he's right on schedule. The extra time off due to the Olympic Break will likely help his strengthen his knee before he has to get going at full tilt, so that's definitely another plus.
The Avalanche will open the home stretch tied with the Canucks for the Northwest Division lead, losing the spot on the wins tiebreaker, but adding four regulars to their re-opening night roster should give them a boost.
This was news that Benson was definitely looking forward to in the Draft, as he'll regain one of his big scorers for the restart. Benson currently sits in 7th spot and still somewhat within striking distance of the money. Getting a body back in the line-up will help him up the ladder, instead of going the other way. This news will now make Benson's team completely healthy and ready to go.
