Status report
Neither team held a morning skate. … Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said Friday that he spoke with his players, his training staff, and his medical team about resting players throughout the final four games of the season; if players want to play, he said he’s willing to let them, but he also wants to rest others before the start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
