Reto Berra will be back in goal tonight when the Avalanche play in Arizona as Semyon Varlamov continues to take treatment for a groin injury. But forward Alex Tanguay will miss his second game because of a facial fracture.
Tanguay took part in the morning skate, but he was still having some pain, along with some blurred vision. Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play Wednesday when Chicago visits the Pepsi Center.
Here are the lines:
O'Reilly - Duchene - Briere Landeskog - MacKinnon - Iginla Talbot - Street - Vincour Carey - Cliche - McLeod

Coach Patrick Roy said Varlamov, who will miss his third game with a groin injury, is "doing very well." But Roy said they will be "very cautious" with him before getting him back to practice.
Defenseman Brad Stuart will miss his eighth game with a hamstring injury and apparently not doing so well. "Stuart is not progressing like we'd like him to," Roy said. "We'll know more in the next few days."
