The Avalanche recalled Duncan Siemens and he will make his NHL debut on Saturday.

Siemens, 21, was a first round pick (11th overall) in 2011. The 6-foot-3 blue liner has six assists in 51 games with Lake Erie (AHL) this season. He will make his debut on a pair with Tyson Barrie.

"My approach to any camp is to go in with the 100 percent mind-set that you're going to stay, and that's my mind-set here,"

Siemens will need to fight an uphill battle against eight NHL-ready defensemen. Even if he does make the roster, don't expect much offense from the rugged, WHL defender.
