Deen's Daily: October 15
Erik Johnson's new role is a perfect fit for broadcast work.
The Colorado Avalanche have had a busy schedule, with two road trips to L.A. and Buffalo, and two home games in the first week.
Notable events include two significant goalie injuries around the league and the New York Rangers setting a new home record.
The guys completed the shootout loss late on Saturday, boarded an early flight Monday, and had an early wake-up call Monday for a 12:30 pm ET puck drop.
The Avalanche now have over 72 hours between games to work on improvements after a successful 3-0-1 start.
