Stollery was reassigned to AHL Lake Erie on Friday.

Analysis:

With Marc-Andre Cliche (oblique) returning to the lineup Saturday, Nick Holden is expected to move back over to defense, which would have forced Stollery to serve as the team's seventh blueliner. Rather than have Stollery stick around as a healthy scratch, the Avalanche decided he would be better served picking up more ice time in the minors.
