You know how these things go in the NHL - coaches behind the bench are fair game for stray shots, and Bednar's no stranger to the grind, but this timing stings with the postseason looming. His assistants step up, but the Avalanche's fate hangs on how they handle the absences without their steady hand at the helm.
