Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Activated off IR

Blackwood (lower body) was activated off injured reserve Wednesday.

The Avalanche assigned Trent Miner to AHL Colorado in a corresponding move. Blackwood will rejoin the Avalanche ahead of Friday's contest against Nashville. Blackwood missed six games due to a lower-body injury, and he'll look to continue his elite season following his absence. He has a 13-1-1 record, a 2.07 GAA and a .924 save percentage through 15 outings this season.
