Status report
Sherwood will make his Avalanche debut, replacing Calvert, a forward. … Nieto will play his first game against the Avalanche after signing with Sharks on Oct. 13. He played the past four seasons with Colorado. "It's a little bit weird being on the other side and I'm sure tonight will be even more weird, but I think it'll be fun," he said. "Just the memories from Colorado, the friendships I was able to make the last four years, had some amazing teammates and some fun playoff runs."
