Philipp Grubauer in net as Avalanche hosts the similarly struggling Columbus Blue Jackets

The Avalanche will look to goalie Philipp Grubauer on Tuesday night to help stop a three-game losing streak at home. Colorado is 3-11-2 in its last 16 games but faces a Columbus team that is also struggling.

Columbus (28-20-3, 59 points) is on a five-game skid.

The Avs (22-21-8, 52 points) are completing a five-game stretch at home, broken up by the NHL All-Star break and the club’s designated bye week. Goalie Semyon Varlamov has started seven of the last eight games for the Avs, having gone 2-5. Grubauer took the loss Jan. 23 against visiting Minnesota in Colorado’s final game before the nine-day break.
