The Colorado Avalanche are hopeful that forwards Nazem Kadri and Andrew Cogliano could be available at some point in the Stanley Cup Final.

Each player had surgery for a hand injury sustained during the Western Conference Final against the Edmonton Oilers.

"Similar surgeries, different fingers, thumbs," Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said Thursday. "So both guys are back. Kadri was in the gym this morning, doing everything he can to get back to being able to play."
