The Avs will begin camp 9:30 a.m. Monday at the Pepsi Center, where they will train prior to leaving for a ready bubble surroundings in Edmonton on July 26. Normally, Colorado conducts its training camps earlier fans during its dual ice-sheet clinic centre in Centennial, but Pepsi Center is conducive to developing a closed-off environment.

At this point, all Avs players are expected to record Monday — although any player may decline to perform without penalty. Calgary defenseman Travis Hamonic became the very first first NHL player to opt-out of the return-to-play plan Friday night.

Dallas defenseman Roman Polak and Vancouver ahead Sven Baertschi opted-out Saturday.

Colorado will not allow fans in Pepsi Center or even to have contact with players coming into the building or departing. Limited press will be allowed to pay for the staff in the building after temperature checks but with rules regarding where they can go. Those media members will have no direct contact with players.
