������ michigan in the pros ���It���s never fun being out of the lineup, but at the same time it���s good the team is winning and all of our defensemen are playing really well right now,��� Hunwick told the Denver Post in late October. ���I think it���s a good problem for us to have, but unfortunately for me I���m out of the lineup. If nothing else, it gives me a chance to work on some things, get better, and, hopefully when the time is right, I���ll get back.��� The 5-11, 190-pound Hunwick has been a victim of a change in philosophy. The Avalanche want to get bigger on the blue line and have upgraded in that area, playing four defensemen who weigh over 230 pounds. Hunwick said he���d be ready if or when the coaches called his number. ���Right now we���re doing a pretty good job of moving the puck ��� I���m a little bit different than the other guys. I���m smaller and can use my speed,��� Hunwick said. ���The team has options. You want to be covered in all areas.��� Avalanche coach Joe Sacco told the Post Hunwick was handling his demotion well. ���I talked to Matty. He���s got a good attitude,��� Sacco said. ���He���s got to make the best out of a situation that isn���t very positive for him individually. But he understands that and has a good attitude, and works very hard in practice. He���s keeping it straight.��� NHL Player Updates Through games of Oct. 31 ��� Mike Brown (Played at U-M from 2004-05), LW, Toronto Maple Leafs: Has recorded one goal and two assists and notched 12 shots on goal in 11 games played ��� Stands plus-two for the year. ��� Mike Cammalleri (2000-02), LW, Montreal Canadiens: Has recorded three goals and two assists in eight games played ��� Stands minus-two with 27 shots on goal and two gamewinning goals. ��� Andrew Cogliano (2005-07), C, Anaheim Ducks: Has recorded one goal and one assist through 11 games played ��� Stands plus-two with 14 shots on goal. ��� Mike Comrie (1999-2000), C, Free Agent: Has yet to sign with a new team after being released by Pittsburgh. ��� Andrew Ebbett (2003-06), C, Defenseman Steve Kampfer notched one assist and was plus-two while seeing action in two games during the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins��� 3-7 start this season.
