Avalanche's Danil Gushchin: Returned to AHL Colorado

Gushchin was demoted to the minors Monday.

Gushchin served as a healthy scratch for the Avalanche's last two games and will now return to the Eagles. The decision to return the winger to the minors could be an indication that Logan O'Connor (hip) will be ready to suit up versus the Ducks on Tuesday.
