Avalanche's Samuel Henley: Finds twine in NHL debut

Henley scored a goal despite playing just 5:18 in his NHL debut Thursday, a 3-2 loss to Columbus.

Analysis:

The 23-year-old scored just one goal in 19 AHL games before getting called up, so don't get too excited -- there's not much of an offensive track record here. The one major attribute Henley brings to the ice is his size -- at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, he'll offer an imposing presence on the Avs' fourth line as long as he can stick around.
