The Colorado Avalanche look to get on a roll and make up ground in the standings. A win (combined with a Minnesota loss) would see the Avalanche vault into second place behind Vegas in an unexpectedly tight Honda West division. After a tight 2-0 victory that saw Colorado pepper Kings goaltender Cal Petersen with 45 shots and only get one past (the second goal came with an empty net), the Avalanche will be looking for a few more pucks to find home in tonight’s contest.

The Avalanche are still missing a significant portion of their defensive corps, with Cale Makar and Bowen Byram making progress with their injuries, but unexpected to re-join the Colorado lineup tonight.
