ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Fresh off adding center Casey Mittelstadt and defenseman Sean Walker, the Colorado Avalanche made two more moves by bringing in forward Yakov Trenin from Nashville and forward Brandon Duhaime from Minnesota.

The front office has been quite busy before the trade deadline in fine-tuning the roster to spark a deep playoff run.

Colorado may soon have back Valeri Nichushkin from the player assistance program.

The Avalanche aren't ruling out a return from captain Gabriel Landeskog, who's been out two seasons with a nagging knee injury.

All the moves are almost reminiscent of two years ago, when the Avalanche brought in a bevy of players who helped propel them to a Stanley Cup title.
