Chris Wagner - Practicing with AHL teamWagner is practicing with AHL Colorado as he continues to recover from a ruptured Achilles, Brennan Vogt of The-Rink.com reports.

ImpactWagner is expected back sometime around early February, so it's encouraging that he's on the ice. The winger signed a two-way contract with the Avalanche in July, so he may be waived with the purpose of reassignment once he is activated from season-opening injured reserve.

Ryan Johansen - Questionable for ThursdayJohansen is dealing with an illness and is consequentially questionable for Thursday's game in Dallas, per Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now.

ImpactJohansen will at least travel with the team and the Avalanche are hopeful about his chances of playing. The 31-year-old has 11 goals and 15 points in 38 outings this season. If Johansen misses Thursday's contest, then defenseman Kurtis MacDermid might draw into the lineup as a forward.

Ken Appleby - Up from AHLAppleby was called up from AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday.

ImpactSemyon Varlamov sustained an undisclosed injury during Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to Colorado. If Varlamov isn't available for Thursday's game against Arizona, then Appleby will likely back up Ilya Sorokin. Appleby has a 2.88 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 11 contests with Bridgeport this season.

ImpactBortuzzo's placement is presumably retroactive to Tuesday, and he's eligible to be activated in time for next Thursday's outing versus Toronto. He has no points, 19 PIM, 16 hits and 20 blocks in 15 contests this season. Sebastian Aho will likely play regularly during Bortuzzo's absence.
