Dries was called up from the taxi squad and will make his season debut Tuesday against the Wild, Scott MacDonald of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Avalanche reached down for a center after it was announced Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) is week to week. Both MacKinnon and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare (knee) were deemed week-to-week, so Dries could be around for another week or more. He's serving as the center on the fourth line.
