  • Avs' Hejda Scores First Goal Of The Season

    Rotowire
    Hejda scored his first goal of the season Tuesday against the Stars, tallying with just seven seconds left in the first period.Despite playing over 20 minutes per game (including a team-high 23:04 Tuesday), Hejda doesn't find too many scoring opportunities. His two shots Tuesday gives him just seven this season, and he gets practically no power play time.

  • Avs' Hejda Finishes Plus-3 In Win

    Rotowire
    Hejda was credited with an assist in Friday's win over the Wild and finished the game with a plus-3 rating.It was the third straight game in which Hejda gathered a helper, giving him a total of nine points on the season. It's in the plus/minus category where he's really been a difference-maker in the fantasy game, however, as his plus-17 rating now ties him with the Sharks' Justin Braun for the league-wide defenseman lead.

  • Avs' Hejda Injury Doesn't Look Too Serious

    Rotowire
    Hejda (knee) is headed back to Denver for tests, but Adrian Dater of the Denver Post reports that the injury is not as serious as originally thought.Dater's exact words were, "this is not a catastrophic injury to the important Avs defenseman" which is obviously encouraging but nothing should be assumed until x-rays and an MRI are done. More should be known over the weekend, so for now, just consider him day-to-day.

  • Avs' Hejda Out Up To Two Weeks With Knee Injury

    Rotowire
    Hejda will be out for 10-to-14 days with a knee sprain.The Avalanche had expressed optimism that the knee injury Hejda suffered Thursday night wasn't serious, and it appears that's the case, though he'll still miss a decent chunk of time. At least he won't do any further damage to his plus/minus rating, which currently sits at a robust plus-17 through 26 games, good for fourth in the NHL.
