Avalanche's Ben Meyers: Scores in NHL debut

Meyers scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over Carolina.

Meyers, who was playing for the University of Minnesota two weeks ago, signed a contact with Colorado earlier in the week and made his NHL debut Saturday. The goal earned Meyers the game's third star in a memorable debut. The 23-year-old opened at center on the fourth line and scored the Avalanche's fourth goal. Meyers also won 63 percent of his faceoffs (10 of 16), including all five in the offensive zone.
