Avalanche's Keaton Middleton: Sent down Tuesday

Middleton was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

Middleton played for the third game in a row over John Ludvig in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Penguins. It's unclear if Middleton's demotion indicates a pending return for Oliver Kylington (upper body) or Josh Manson (upper body). The Avalanche's next game is Thursday at home versus Utah.
