Avalanche Make 5 More Roster Cuts

The Colorado Avalanche have made five additional roster cuts, trimming their training camp roster down to 39 players. On Wednesday, the team placed forwards Cooper Gay, Nikita Prishchepov, and Maros Jedlicka on waivers, with the expectation that they will be assigned to the Colorado Eagles of the American Hockey League if they clear waivers.

The remaining cuts were made to the veteran roster group, sending forwards Cooper Gay, Nikita Prishchepov, and Maros Jedlicka to the AHL. The Avs will not hold practice on Thursday before the final two preseason games on Friday and Saturday.
