Avalanche Notebook: Makar Day-To-Day, And How 10 Minutes Might Get Alex Newhook a $212,500 Bonus

Plus, updates on other injured guys and SuperBook Colorado Best Bets for Saturday

Good morning party people. Avalanche gameday, and it should be a good one tonight in L.A. against the Kings. An Avs win and they stay atop the Central Division. A loss, and a Dallas point/victory against Vegas and the Stars are back on top. Stars vs. Vegas this afternoon on ESPN.

I’ll be doing another running diary on the game tonight, while Pat Salvas is likely to do some other coverage, unless the Sandman gets him in his East Coast time zone.

One thing I didn’t do on diary on the first game: I only posted it after the game was over. This time, I’ll keep refreshing it live right here on the page, so for those who read that as the game goes along, have at it. We also will be doing our other live chat as well. I can walk and chew gum at the same time.

So, some Avs stuff:

• Good get from nice-guy reporter Bennett Durando: Jared Bednar told him that Cale Makar is only day-to-day with his latest lower-body injury.
