DENVER — The Avalanche injury update on Thursday was perhaps as good of news as fans could have hoped.
Following a light practice, goalie Darcy Kuemper said he is “100 percent,” and Colorado coach Jared Bednar is hopeful forwards Nazem Kadri and Andrew Cogliano will return from thumb/finger surgeries and play at some point during the Stanley Cup Final.
“It’s all taken care of,” Kuemper said of the upper-body injury that forced him out of Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against Edmonton.
