Andrew Agozzino leads the AHL’s San Antonio Rampage with seven goals and 16 points in 13 games. In his NHL season debut and second career game in the big leagues, Agozzino will play left wing on the Avalanche’s fourth line. Here’s Agozzino after Saturday’s morning skate at the Pepsi Center:
The Winnipeg Jets won 3-1 at Minnesota on Friday afternoon, outshooting the Wild 29-15. They are concluding a three-game trip that began Wednesday with a 5-3 loss at Washington. The Jets are 6-7-1 on the road and 3-6 against Central Division opponents. The Avs are 2-6-1 at home and 2-1 against the Central. Colorado beat Winnipeg 4-1 on Monday in Canada. … The Jets didn’t have a full-team skate Saturday morning but seemingly most players were at the rink.
