It’s a Colorado Avalanche gameday! The Colorado Avalanche are up north to face the divisional rival Minnesota Wild in a Sunday matinee. This should no doubt be a fun one after the Wild had to use overtime to earn a comeback win over the Columbus Blue Jackets less than 24 hours prior to facing the league’s best.
It’s also the first matchup since the Tyson-Jost-for-Nico-Sturm trade, so at least we have that.
Projected Avalanche lineup:
Valeri Nichushkin—Nathan MacKinnon—Mikko RantanenAndre Burakovsky—Nazem Kadri—J.T. CompherAlex Newhook—Nico Sturm—Logan O’ConnorAndrew Cogliano—Darren Helm—Nicolas Aube-Kubel
Devon Toews—Cale MakarJack Johnson—Josh MansonKurtis MacDermid—Erik Johnson
Darcy Kuemper is your projected starter, but you just never know who might be in between the pipes.
