Avalanche right wing Milan Hejduk is out indefinitely with a shoulder injury, which he suffered early in Saturday's 1-0 overtime victory over the Nashville Predators in Denver.

Never want to see a player get hurt and hopefully it's not too serious but at this point I'd much rather have someone like Sgarbossa in the line up instead of Hejduk. I'd like to see what Sgarbossa can do on a scoring line with the Avs. Hishon can take his spot and get more minutes with the Monsters.
If this a serious injury, hopefully he can come back and play one last home game. Or even just one more shift so he gets a proper send off. They have Bordeleau playing 2 minutes so why not Hejduk for 30 seconds?

Avs Matt Duchene to have season ending knee surgery to repair partially torn ACL

Normal #AVALANCHE practice. No fireworks on Jiggy front. Varly shut down for hip, won't travel. Stas back.
I hope Olver is the one who sits and not Malone. Malone is a gamer.

Cody McLeod to continue to wear an 'A' Wed at ANA, but when Hejduk returns Thu at LAK he will lose it. Stastny back vs Ducks #Avalanche
Safe to assume DVG and Malone get sent back down?

Varlamov might return to lineup Saturday vs. VAN in Denver. #Avalanche

Sami Aittokallio called up from LEM to replace Varlamov on 2-game trip to SoCal. Aittokallio to serve as Giguere's backup. #Avalanche
Always liked Brad malone he should not be sent anywhere. Send someone else down or sit Jones and Mitchell
Send DVG down for sure but knowing the Avs they'll send Malone with him
who ever thought we'd be wanting malone to play over jones.
I'd rather have anyone out there but Bordy on the PP.I wanted Malone to play ahead of Mcleod a few seasons ago. Ugh Mcleod on the PP just makes me want to strangle a small goat.
The Avalanche is likely to be without defenseman Erik Johnson against the Canucks. Johnson suffered a wrist injury and is listed as doubtful.
Goalie Semyon Varlamov remains sidelined because of a hip injury
Milan Hejduk (shoulder) is day to day
