Morning Skate Diary
Avalanche lineup for tonight against Vegas
A new injury has popped up with the Avalanche. Matt Calvert is on the shelf again. Coach Jared Bednar said he’s been dealing with some “nagging little injuries” and will get the night off tonight against the Vegas Golden Knights. Doesn’t sound serious, but you never know. Here, then, is the Avalanche lineup for tonight:
Landeskog-MacKinnon-Rantanen
Saad-Kadri-Burakovsky
Nichushkin-Jost-Donskoi
Compher-Bellemare-O’Connor
D
Toews-Makar
Girard-Graves
Byram-MacDonald
Grubauer in goal.
NOTEBOOK: Bo Byram is back in the lineup after missing one game with a lower-body injury. He will replace Dan Renouf in the lineup. … Hunter Miska stopped 20-of-22 shots to lead the Colorado Eagles to victory last night. … . Marc-Andre Fleury was first off the ice after the morning skate, and is the presumed starter for Vegas tonight. … Avs are -176 favorites to win outright tonight, on SuperBook Colorado. SuperBook also has boosted the payout odds from +298 to +350 if Nathan MacKinnon scores and the Avs win. A $10 winning bet would give you $45 (your 10 back, plus 35). Check it out here.
