There is a relaxed demeanor to both Colorado Avalanche forward Rocco Grimaldi and defenseman Duncan Siemens, more than usual for players who have yet to be in Denver for even 24 hours.
Called up from the San Antonio Rampage on Monday afternoon, both players will be in the Avs' lineup this evening when they take on the Chicago Blackhawks at Pepsi Center.
With only four games left in the regular season, the late recall is a chance for them to showcase their skills at the top level of the sport before going into an offseason full of question marks. Yet, any pressure about their future doesn't appear present.
No Pressure On Grimaldi And Siemens
