Avs lineup for tonight in Arizona
A brief post here, for the Avs lineup tonight in Arizona:
Landeskog-MacKinnon-Rantanen
Saad-Kadri-Burakovsky
Nichushkin-Jost-Donskoi
Calvert-Bellemare-Compher
D
Toews-Makar
Girard-Graves
Byram-MacDonald
Grubauer in goal.
NOTEBOOK: Jared Bednar said Jonas Johansson may start tomorrow’s game against the Coyotes. I think it’ll come down to whether the Avs win tonight or not. A win, and I would bet heavily JoJo would start. A loss, and Bednar may feel more pressure to win, and go back to Grooby. … Another night where Logan O’Connor will be a healthy scratch. I understand the frustration among some fans that LOC isn’t playing and J.T. Compher is, but there’s still a dues-paying process to this game, and the Avs also looked pretty darn good the last game with J.T. in there. Patience is required.
