Getting your player ready...
Avalanche right wing Milan Hejduk made it official today: his back feels better, good enough to be back in the lineup starting Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins at the Pepsi Center.
“It feels pretty good, I’m ready to go,” Hejduk said after this morning’s practice.
Hejduk hurt his back doing squats in the weight room. After nearly 10 days of rest, the pain subsided and he should be back on the Avs’ second line against the Penguins, a line centered by Paul Stastny.
The Avs have won three straight games and are unbeaten at home (5-0).
