Back at practice Friday Girard (undisclosed) was on the ice for Friday's practice session, Adrian Dater of ColoradoHockeyNow.com reports.

Impact Girard is coming off a career year in which he set personal bests in assists (30) and points (34). The defender figures to jump back onto the top pairing with Cale Makar and should see action with the No. 2 power-play unit.

Doesn't dress for exhibition Girard (undisclosed) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's exhibition game against the Wild, NHL.com's Rick Sadowski reports.

Impact Girard was originally expected to participate in Wednesday's tune-up match after missing practice Tuesday, but it appears as though the Avalanche have decided to play it safe with the 22-year-old blueliner. Nonetheless, at this point there's no reason to believe he's in danger of missing Colorado's first round robin game Sunday against the Blues.
