No word yet on line-up changes, but the Avs just had their 9 game winning streak (since the deadline) ended thanks to a 2-1 loss to Montreal on Tuesday. They've either been blowing teams out (6 wins in their last 13 games by 4+ goals), or squeaking it out (4 OT wins and one 1 goal win over St Louis).
Looks like...
Shesterkin in net
Lindgren back, with Scanlin dropping out
Wennberg back, with Rempe dropping out

Nichushkin is out with a lower-body injury (and he hasn't looked good for the last handful of games) and both Joel Kiviranta and Sam Girard are sick. I think G will play, but Kiviranta has missed the last three practices or so, so it looks like oft-injured rookie Jean-Luc Foudy will be an emergency callup and play on the 4th line. That likely means Brandon Duhaime gets the promotion to the 2nd line and Casey Mittelstadt will be on the 1st unit power play. Georgiev missed practice but they said he's good to go.
Avs, ironically, are still having depth issues. Two guys they paid not-cheap money for in Ross Colton and Miles Wood have been struggling mightily of late. Jared Bednar keeps trying to get that third line with those two and Zach Parise to work but it's been a disaster (other than the comeback win against the Penguins). The team sorely misses Logan O'Connor, who's out for the rest of the year with hip surgery.
Not staying up to watch this one live.
Toby -- I think Quick is starting tonight.
This is also last regular season game against a playoff team.
If they need me to bleed, then I'll bleed for my team
Can Lindgren be 100%?

Stuck watching the Avs feed...pretty clear these guys don't actually do much research on the NYR 🙂

Case in point:
Zibanejad is having a great season
Rangers have been stingy on defense of late
Not much flow to this game early
Good hit by Cuylle there, hoping he gets his game back on track
