It helped that Oskar Olausson’s corresponding call-up to the Avalanche roster was a journeyman.
Jayson Megna understands just how strenuous and stressful the process of acclimating to the NHL can be, so he offered to accommodate Olausson after learning Tuesday that they would both be in the Avalanche lineup the next day.
The two players promoted from the AHL for Wednesday’s game against Vancouver couldn’t be much different, at least in terms of the stage they’re at in their respective careers. Megna is a 32-year-old, fourth-line forward who has been up and down this season between Denver and Loveland. It’s his fourth season as a depth option in the organization, and Colorado is his fourth NHL team.
“I remember being extremely nervous,” he said. “It was a game in Pittsburgh against the Islanders, and I don’t think I wanted the puck at all that game. I just wanted to go in and try to hit somebody on the forecheck.” “They’re used to having the puck on their stick and creating offense with it,” Bednar said. “… Young players coming up, they’re– generally speaking — bigger, stronger, faster than some of the guys they’ve been playing against their whole lives. So they create offense. You get to the National Hockey League, you’re not. League’s filled with guys that were the exact same way. Every guy playing in the national Hockey League was elite when he was playing in amateur.
