Darren Helm, Evan Rodrigues, Valeri Nichushkin, Gabriel Landeskog, Artturi Lehkonen, defenseman Kurtis MacDermid, Bowen Byram, and Josh Manson are all hurt.
Despite winning the Stanley Cup last year the Avalanche are off to an underwhelming�start, being ranked eighth in their division with thirteen�wins out of twenty-three games played thus far.�
