Key Stories to Watch
- The Avs aim to close out their first homestand of the season with a perfect 4-0-0 record. The team is 3-0-0 so far, is riding a six-game winning streak, and enters the game 8-0-2 in its last 10. Their only regulation loss was 11 games ago.
- The Rangers lost their last game in Vegas, but their 9-2-1 road record is among the best in the NHL. They are a terrible 1-7-1 at home, where Colorado will visit in a few weeks.
- The Avs called up Tristen Nielsen to fill out the fourth line with Parker Kelly and Zakhar Bardakov. This is the second call-up, as he previously dressed when the Avs hosted the Tampa Bay Lightning two weeks ago.
- Scott Wedgewood gets the nod in goal again. Wedgewood is a perfect 5-0-0 in his last five starts and leads the NHL with 11 wins.
