Colorado Avalanche game preview
The Avalanche lost their second-to-last game at home to the Utah Hockey Club as they aimed to bounce back, and bounce back they did. Their 5-2 win at home against the Nashville Predators looks to have brought them back on track as they aim to continue their winning run.
Colorado Avalanche injuries
Oliver Kylington, Miles Wood, Jonathan Drouin, Josh Manson and Tucker Poolman are all sidelined for the Avalanche due to their ongoing injury concerns.
Vancouver Canucks game preview
The Canucks have struggled for form over the last few weeks as they have lost three of their previous four matchups, barring the exceptional game against the Florida Panthers where they won 4-0. Vancouver looks to bounce back from the Bruins' defeat and will hope the Avalanche don't pose a threat to that.
Vancouver Canucks injuries
Derek Forbort and Filip Hronek are both injured for the Canucks and are likely to miss out on their upcoming game against the Avalanche.
Avalanche and Canucks key players
Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen have been in a league of their own this season, as they have scored 96 points between them. MacKinnon leads the line with 50 points while Rantanen closely follows him with 46.
Quinn Hughes continues to impress for the Canucks, as the defenseman has been stellar on the blue line as well as contributed highly in attack. Hughes has scored seven goals and provided 27 points since the start of this season.
