The club also placed three players on Injured Reserve, defenseman Kyle Cumiskey (groin), forward Mark Olver (head) and forward Brandon Yip (arm).
Olver is one of many forwards vying for position with the Avs. Last season he got into 18 games, scoring two goals and nine points. With a few injuries, he could get himself back into the lineup but this injury severely hurt his chances of sticking.
