The Avalanche could be close to getting a pair of veteran wingers back in their lineup. Evan Rawal of The Denver Gazette relays that Miles Wood and Jonathan Drouin both took part in practice today with a regular jersey, not a non-contact one. Wood has missed the last two weeks with an upper-body injury while Drouin sustained an upper-body injury in the season opener last month and hasn’t played since. Wood has struggled this season with just one goal in ten games while Drouin is coming off a career year that saw him record 56 points in 79 games. Head coach Jared Bednar was unsure about their availability for Wednesday but it appears they’re back soon; those two along with Valeri Nichushkin (returning on Friday) will give their forward group a sizable boost.
