IRVINE, Calif.--Logan O'Connor said following the Colorado Avalanche's opening-game win at the 2019 Anaheim Rookie Faceoff that there are a ton of leaders in the club's locker room, but only two players earned the honor of wearing captain letters on the front of their jerseys.
O'Connor donned the 'C' as the captain of the rookies while Martin Kaut sported an 'A' as an alternate in the Avs' 5-2 victory against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday at Great Park Ice. This is both players' second rookie tournament after making their debuts last year in the Vegas-hosted event.
