J.T. Compher, with concussion protocol in rear-view mirror, looks to further develop as one of the Avalanche’s top forwards

Five games into the season, second-year Avalanche forward J.T. Compher suffered a concussion, suddenly putting a halt to a year with with so much promise. He missed 16 games from Oct. 16 to Nov. 21, returning the day after Thanksgiving at Arizona during which he scored shorthanded — twice — on the same Coyotes’ power play. Fast forward to Monday, 12 games after his return to the lineup and Compher logged a season-high 21:20 as the Avs’ second-line center and power-play specialist. Compher respects how the team treated his concussion, an injury that has no time-table on when you can play again. “It tests your patience a little bit,” Compher said.
