Ross Colton was one of the first skaters off the ice at morning skate, while Joel Kiviranta stayed out longer with the other usual healthy scratches in Zakhar Bardakov and Nick Blankenburg. If Colton draws in, it\u2019s likely to play a top-nine role with Parker Kelly returning to a fourth line role alongside Jack Drury and Logan O\u2019Connor. Head coach Jared Bednar would not confirm nor deny the change following the skate.<\/p>\n The Los Angeles Kings also appear to be making a lineup change. Andrei Kuzmenko is likely to make his playoff debut this season, replacing Mathieu Joseph in the lineup.<\/p>\n We are likely going to see Scott Wedgewood and Anton Forsberg both continue to start in this series. The two goalies have been spectacular through two games. <\/p>\n Projected Avalanche Lines (subject to change)<\/p>\n Artturi Lehkonen \u2014 Nathan MacKinnon \u2014 Martin Necas Devon Toews \u2014 Cale Makar Scott Wedgewood Projected Kings Lines (subject to change)<\/p>\n Artemi Panarin \u2014 Anze Kopitar \u2014 Adrian Kempe Mikey Anderson\u2014 Drew Doughty Anton Forsberg Projected Starters (subject to change)<\/p>\n Expected: Scott Wedgewood (COL)<\/p>\n Expected: Anton Forsberg (LAK)<\/p>\n Avalanche Injuries<\/p>\n Kings Injuries<\/p>\n Kevin Fiala (lower leg, out for season)<\/p>\n How to Watch<\/p>\n TV: TNT, Altitude Sports (locally)<\/p>\n Radio: 92.5 FM<\/p>\n Playoff Series Head-to-Head<\/p>\n Game 1 vs Los Angeles Kings (W, 2-1 \u2014 COL leads series 1-0)<\/p>\n Game 2: vs Los Angeles Kings (W, 2-1 OT \u2014 COL leads series 2-0)<\/p>\n Game 3: at Los Angeles Kings (April 23 at 8 pm MT)<\/p>\n Game 4: at Los Angeles Kings (April 26 at 2:30 pm MT)<\/p>\n Game 5: vs Los Angeles Kings (April 29 if necessary)<\/p>\n Game 6: at Los Angeles Kings (May 1 if necessary)<\/p>\n Game 7: vs Los Angeles Kings (May 3 if necessary)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Presidents\u2019 Trophy-winning Colorado Avalanche are on the road to take on the Los Angeles Kings for Game…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":624875,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[758,43,763,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-624874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-colorado-avalanche","tag-headlines","tag-los-angeles-kings","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=624874"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624874\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
