Linesman Jonny Murray had to be helped off the ice after a second-period collision with Avalanche defenseman Devon Toews during Wednesday night's game against Winnipeg.

Over the weekend, a bit of news dropped, as the Vegas Golden Knights announced that Alex Pietrangelo won’t be part of Team Canada’s entry at the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.

Linesman Jonny Murray left in the third period of Wednesday's game against Winnipeg after briefly returning following a second-period collision with Avalanche defenseman Devon Toews.

You could consider it a blow to Canada's roster, but the team is talent-rich on the blue line and has options to replace Pietrangelo. We have a list of players in mind to join a Canada defense that includes Cale Makar, Josh Morrissey, Colton Parayko, Travis Sanheim, Shea Theodore, and Devon Toews.

Toews notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets. Toews has earned three points over his last five contests. The 30-year-old defenseman set up Nathan MacKinnon on the opening tally in the second period.

Toews has a helper in back-to-back games after going three contests without a point. The top-pairing defenseman is up to 22 points, 77 shots on net, 54 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 42 appearances.

Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo has withdrawn from Team Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off due to an injury.

The Avalanche shocked many with the trading of star Mikko Rantanen. But Colorado may not be done with trades -- and here are three areas the Avs' next trade could address.

After what has certainly been a hectic weekend and road trip for the Colorado Avalanche, they’ll take on the New York Islanders tonight before heading back home. This will be the second and final regular-season matchup between these two teams,

Artturi Lehkonen scored the tiebreaking goal with 14.7 seconds left and Mackenzie Blackwood made 33 saves and the Colorado Avalanche defeated the New York Rangers 5-4.

The trade that saw the superstar dealt to Carolina sent shockwaves through the league and up and down the Colorado franchise.
