Young center Ryan McLeod will get the night off. As for Dallas, Roope Hintz is characterized as a game time decision as he hasn’t played since getting injured the series against the Colorado Avalanche.

While waiting for the puck to drop, here’s some required reading and some good points on the topic du jour on Mikko Rantanen.
Nichushkin should probably never wear an Avalanche jersey again. Landeskog probably will never be the player he once was. Two other wingers will be coming off major surgeries.
And some still want to trade Mikko Rantanen?
I don’t get it.https://t.co/FGl3WHOX1P
