CENTENNIAL — The cast of injured Avalanche players were being "checked out" by doctors today, coach Joel Quenneville said after practice.
But it appears center Paul Stastny and forward Ryan Smyth will not play Thursday in Game 4 of the Avs' Western Conference semifinal series with the Detroit Red Wings. Colorado trails 3-0 in the best-of-seven series.
Stastny, who has an injured knee, "is unlikely to play tomorrow," said Quenneville, who listed Smith (foot) as being doubtful.
Quenneville simply said that forward Peter Forsberg, who missed the first two games because of a groin injury, will be checked out.
