Ross Colton feels equally effective at center or wing, but if given a choice, the new Colorado Avalanche forward wants the puck on his stick. The feeling is mutual. On Sunday afternoon, in the preseason opener at Ball Arena, Colton made his Avs debut centering the top line against Minnesota in a 4-3 loss. Colton — signed in July to a four-year, $16-million contract — played alongside fellow newcomers Miles Wood and Tomas Tatar. Colton was surprised, but comforted, to find the ‘A' on his game jersey as one of three assistant captains.
