Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar provided updates on player injuries ahead of a five-game road trip. Ross Colton is set to join the team after skating in a non-contact jersey, with a potential return by the trip's end.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Drouin and Oliver Kylington are both week-to-week due to injuries. Colton's return would be significant as he had been performing well before his injury, scoring eight goals in ten games this season.
