Deen's Daily: Updates from the World of Hockey

Erik Johnson's new role is a perfect fit, and the Colorado Avalanche have a well-deserved break after a busy opening week.

The team had a packed schedule, with two road trips to L.A. and Buffalo, and two home games in between. The Sabres game was particularly challenging, with a quick turnaround after a shootout loss on Saturday.

Now, the Avalanche have over 72 hours between games, giving them ample time to work on areas for improvement after a successful 3-0-1 start.

Other notable updates include significant goalie injuries around the league and the New York Rangers setting a new home record they'd rather forget.
