In his initial contest Friday night following a callup from Lake Erie of the AHL, center Mark Olver scored a goal and assisted on another in the Colorado Avalanche's 3-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers at Rexall Place. What took the Avs so long to call this guy up anyway? "I'm just happy to contribute," Olver said. "I missed 35 games with a concussion this year, so it was tough, but it's the way it can be sometimes in this game. I just am happy to have gotten a chance again tonight and it went well, thanks to my teammates."

Mark Olver was called up from the minors on Friday February 17.

Mark Olver is no longer sidelined with a concussion. Olver missed the first half of the season, but he recently resumed playing for the AHL Lake Erie Monsters. He has a goal in three contests with the Monsters.
