It’s another Colorado Avalanche gameday!
As the homestand continues, the Colorado Avalanche welcome in a formidable foe as the LA Kings are also trying to secure the second seed in their division and have been the only team hotter than Colorado. The two teams will meet again before the end of the regular season, making for an interesting mini playoff matchup. Colorado took their first meeting 4-2 back in November and will look to repeat those results.

The Avalanche hoping to sweep another homestand are expecting to put out largely the same lineup as the one that beat Detroit a couple nights ago. Erik Johnson was a participant at morning skate but is not ready to draw back into the lineup on the blueline. Joel Kiviranta, who has a lower-body injury will be replaced by Miles Wood.
Projected Lineup
Drouin – MacKinnon – Nichushkin
