Former King report, part 2
From The Associated Press...
-----
DENVER -- The Colorado Avalanche will be without Tom Preissing for four to six weeks after the
defenseman had a scope done on his right knee.
The Avalanche acquired Preissing, along with defenseman Kyle Quincey, in a deal that sent Ryan Smyth to the Los Angeles Kings during the offseason.
The 30-year-old Preissing, a former Colorado College standout, had three goals and four assists in 22 games for the Kings last season.
