"With the Avalanche beginning to get desperate for more scoring among its top forwards, the return of Peter Mueller can't come soon enough.

While there is no set date for a possible return for the oft-injured left winger, Mueller is slated to participate in a full practice with the Avs today at Family Sports Center in Centennial.

The Avs are getting next to nothing offensively lately from, for lack of a better term, their second line."
