Projected Avalanche training camp lineup, preseason details

Avalanche training camp is officially scheduled to begin Sunday, with the first on-ice drills set for Monday at Family Sports Center in Centennial. The two-sheet facility will be closed to the public.

All NHL teams can carry a maximum 36 skaters and an unlimited amount of goalies. Prospects playing in the NCAA cannot attend the camp.

Avalanche drills and scrimmages likely will take place twice daily at Family Sports.

Colorado opens the 2020-21 season on Jan. 13 against the St. Louis Blues at the newly renamed Ball Arena in Denver. There is no NHL preseason, and no fans will be allowed inside Ball Arena at the beginning.

Here is the Avalanche’s projected camp roster:

Forwards (23) — Mikko Rantanen, Nathan MacKinnon, Gabe Landeskog, Brandon Saad, Andre Burakovsky, Nazem Kadri, Joonas Donskoi, J.T. Compher, Matt Calvert, Valeri Nichushkin, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Tyson Jost, Logan O’Connor, Michael Vecchione, Mikka Salomäki, T.J. Tynan, Martin Kaut, Sheldon Dries, Shane Bowers, Josh Dickinson, Travis Barron, Jayson Megna, Kiefer Sherwood

Defensemen (13) — Erik Johnson, Sam Girard, Ian Cole, Devon Toews, Ryan Graves, Cale Makar, Dennis Gilbert, Kyle Burroughs, Bo Byram, Conor Timmins, Jacob McDonald, Daniel Renouf, Josh Anderson

Goalies (five) — Philipp Grubauer, Pavel Francouz, Adam Werner, Hunter Miska, Trent Minor

The Avalanche will have to get down to a maximum 23 players before opening night Jan. 13 against the St. Louis Blues at Ball Arena. But all teams can also keep four to six other players on a taxi squad.

The taxi squad consists of players who are not on the NHL roster but can nevertheless practice and travel with their teams on their minor-league contracts (one-way deals if it exists). The Avalanche can recall a member of the taxi squad before 3 p.m. MST on game day. Players returned to the taxi squad will require going through waivers if they aren’t waiver-exempt.
