Dries had 7:41 of ice time in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Appearing in his second game of the season, Dries and Jayson Megna took up residency on the fourth line in a contest that Colorado played without Matt Calvert (upper body), Tyson Jost (COVID-19 protocol) and Gabriel Landeskog (COVID-19 protocol). All three could return to action this week -- head coach Jared Bednar expects Jost and Landeskog on Saturday -- so Dries may be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Vegas.
