Avalanche's Kevin Mandolese: Returned to AHL

Mandolese was loaned to AHL Colorado on Saturday, according to Meghan Angley of Guerilla Sports.

Mandolese was recalled Wednesday and was Scott Wedgewood's backup in a 3-2 shootout win over Chicago, giving Mackenzie Blackwood the night off to rest. Mandolese has a 10-6-0 record with a 2.86 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 17 AHL games this season.
