Nazem Kadri and Matt Calvert won’t play Saturday when the Avalanche face Boston to close out their three-game road trip.

Kadri will miss his second game in a row because of a lower-body injury and Calvert, who played the past two games after missing six with a concussion, is on a personal leave.

GAME NOTES

Vladislav Kamenev, who missed the first two games of the trip because of illness, will be on the fourth line with Tyson Jost and T.J. Tynan.

Philipp Grubauer will start in goal. He’s won his past three starts with a 1.67 goals-against average and .943 save percentage.

The Avalanche have won five games in a row and are 10-3-0 in the past 13 games. The Bruins are 9-0-4 in their past 13.
