The Avalanche play Anaheim at the Pepsi Center on Saturday to open a three-game homestand. It will be their first home game in two weeks, since 3-2 overtime win against Arizona on Oct. 12.
They didn’t have a morning skate after defeating Vegas 6-1 on Friday, completing a six-game stretch on the road with a 4-1-1 record.
Goalie Pavel Francouz is expected to start.
