Torey Krug’s return along with Austin Czarnik; Patrice Bergeron a day-to-day; Noel Acciari and David Backes on injured reserve. OK, minor story lines for Monday’s matinee encounter with the Colorado Avalanche. Take two points before hitting the road for three away the next week. OK, maybe a tad more important.
