The Colorado Avalanche are set to take on the Dallas Stars later this evening, hoping to continue winning after a comeback victory against the Detroit Red Wings this weekend.
They won’t be doing so with Semyon Varlamov, though.
After the starter missed practice on Tuesday, it was confirmed that he will miss Wednesday’s game with an illness.
In his place, Jonathan Bernier will get the start - and now, to fill in his seat on the bench, Andrew Hammond will make his Colorado Avalanche debut.
Hammond was dealt to the Avalanche earlier this season, getting moved as a part of the deal that sent Matt Duchene to Ottawa and Kyle Turris to Nashville.
