Finally, Joe Sakic could return to the Colorado Avalanche next week after being sidelined since Jan. 20 with a broken ankle. Sakic has been swimming and riding an exercise bike as part of his rehabilitation. He skated about 25 minutes Sunday and 15 minutes Saturday. His foot was broken when he was hit by a shot from Dallas defenseman Sergei Zubov. Sakic still has trouble making quick stops and turns, but traveled with the team on this week's three-game road trip.
The Avalanche have gone 9-0-1-1 without Sakic, including a 3-2 victory against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. Expect them to make a serious run at Vancouver with Sakic back in the lineup.
