Status report
Necas and Drouin, each a forward, and Girard, a defenseman, did not take part in the Avalanche morning skate and each remains day to day. ... Holloway, a forward, is week to week after being injured late in the first period of a 5-4 overtime win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. … Snuggerud will move into a top-six role in his third NHL game. … Joseph will come in for Holloway, a forward, after being a healthy scratch the past two games.
