CHICAGO — The Avalanche will go with the same lineup as in the past two games Sunday night against Chicago, meaning defenseman Brandon Gormley — who was placed on and cleared waivers last week — will be a healthy scratch.
But Avalanche coach Patrick Roy emphasized that with Erik Johnson (lower body) and Brad Stuart (back) still out of the lineup, Gormley remains available to suit up and play if needed. Andrew Bodnarchuk, claimed on waivers from Columbus last week, will be playing his third game for Colorado and will be paired with Francois Beauchemin at even strength against the Blackhawks.
