Calvin Pickard will start in goal Thursday night when the Avalanche play Florida to open a four-game homestand.
Here are the GAME NOTES.
Here's my MORNING SKATE story.
And my JAROMIR JAGR feature. He needs one point for 1,850 in his NHL career to tie Gordie Howe for third place in league history.
Defenseman Eric Gelinas apparently injured his back Tuesday in Minnesota and won't play against the Panthers, so Andrew Bodnarchuk will be return.
Here's the Avalanche lineup:
FORWARDS Mikhail Grigorenko - Matt Duchene - Jarome Iginla Gabriel Landeskog - Nathan MacKinnon - Mikkel Boedker Shawn Matthias - Carl Soderberg - Blake Comeau Cody McLeod - John Mitchell - Jack Skille
DEFENSE Francois Beauchemin - Erik Johnson Nick Holden - Tyson Barrie Chris Bigras - Andrew Bodnarchuk
