Key Stories to Watch

• Scott Wedgewood got his first complete game off in Sunday’s 4-3 OT loss to the Devils. He’s back between in the pipes in the second of a home-and-home. Mackenzie Blackwood is healthy and will back up for Wedgewood.
• Wedgewood is 4-0-0 with a .965 save percentage and two shutouts in his career against New Jersey. He shut them out with the Avs last year in one of his first games after being acquired from the Nashville Predators.
