#1 reason not to bring back Sacco after his contract expires this season? Two wins in the division. TWO. And this is the NW we're talking about here. Completely and utterly unacceptable, I don't care how weak this lineup is.

What's worse...Mueller not skating, still listed as having a "torso" injury. Duchene skating, but will not play. Galiardi on IR with a dinged shoulder. The saddest part is that the Avs are one of the more honest teams when it comes to reporting injuries.

Mark Olver makes his 2011-12 NHL debut after spending most of this season recovering from a concussion. I'm guessing Varly gets the start as the alternative is Cedrick Desjardins.

Likely lines for tonight:

Olver - O'Reilly - Landeskog
Jones - Stastny - Hejduk
Winnik - McClement - Kobasew
McLeod - Porter - Van der Gulik

Holy shit that is one bad lineup.

Nice win. Olver makes his return to the NHL by scoring the GWG, 2 points, a +2 rating, and nice hit on Cam Barker on the night.

Still...I'd like some healthy bodies back please.
