Though he's been activated from injured reserve, Bordeleau (back) will be scratched for Thursday's game against the Penguins, Mike Chambers of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Bordeleau's back is feeling fine and he was able to skate at full speed Wednesday, but because he's been sidelined since undergoing offseason surgery, he'll require some more time to regain conditioning. Coach Patrick Roy didn't rule out using Bordeleau for one or both of the Avs' remaining two games on their road trip, set for Saturday in Buffalo and Sunday in Detroit.
