After a day off yesterday, in which the Avalanche players got to enjoy the Super Bowl like the rest of us (unless you're a Patriots fan), they took to the ice for practice today with a slightly new-look roster. Stefan Elliott is gone and in his place is Tyson Barrie, the 20-year-old defenseman who was enjoying a very successful season in Lake Erie before his call-up to Colorado on Saturday. Barrie will likely be in the lineup tomorrow when the Avalanche host the Chicago Blackhawks.
Tomorrow night's game will certainly be a big one for the rookie defenseman who will be looking to make a strong first impression in his regular season NHL debut, but it will also be a big game for the entire Avalanche team, who has lost five games in a row.

A couple of quick hits, from today’s practice:
- Matt Duchene was back on skates today. Not with the team at practice, but on his own beforehand. I did not see him skate, but accounts are that it went well. He’s still officially listed as out “indefinitely”, but you have to believe we’re probably talking only 1-2 more weeks...
