• No more red sweater for Cale. The Avs play in Minnesota tomorrow night, and top regulars usually don’t travel to such games, but we’ll see. I would assume he might be in the lineup for Tuesday’s home preseason tilt with Vegas.

• Devon Toews is still in the red sweater, but seems to be progressing nicely. He’s been skating regularly at camp.
