Heading into their final home game of the year tonight, Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar just confirmed that the Avalanche will have two of their star players back in the lineup tonight.
The Colorado Avalanche have been dealing with some injuries heading into their final couple games of the year.
Just last week, both Martin Necas and Jonathan Drouin ended up going down with injuries during their game against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Before that, the Colorado Avalanche revealed that Sam Girard, and Josh Manson wouldn't join the team on their most recent three game road trip, due to both of them being injured as well.
And of course this all is coming right before the playoffs, but today the Colorado Avalanche got some big news from head coach Jared Bednar.

After this came out, another report revealed that Jonathan Drouin could possibly join the team on Saturday whenever the Avalanche take on the Carolina Hurricanes:
