Georgiev will start for the fourth straight game on Wednesday evening and attempt to extend Colorado's winning streak to three games. Georgiev has allowed three or more goals in eight of his last 10 games, and despite posting an ugly .888 SV%, he has salvaged an impressive 7-3-0 record. The 27-year-old Georgiev has not been consistently reliable at keeping the puck out of the net this season but has been successful at accumulating wins, a trend likely to continue on Friday as the Avalanche are -146 home favourites against a Los Angeles Kings club that has lost four of their last five (1-3-1).

Benson will get the night off on Wednesday as the Sabres are set to play their second game in as many nights. Eric Robinson will draw into the lineup in his place.

Bryson will draw in for the injured Mattias Samuelsson (undisclosed). Bryson is yet to register a point in three games with the Sabres this season.

Samuelsson is considered day-to-day with the undisclosed injury. He'll be replaced by Jacob Bryson in the Sabres' lineup on Wednesday.

Levi will get his first chance back between the pipes for the Sabres since being recalled from Rochester (AHL) on Sunday. Levi's last outing came on January 9th, when he surrendered five goals on just 26 shots as Buffalo fell to the Kraken by a score of 5-2. Time will tell if the three appearances Levi made in the AHL helped him sort out his game, but the Sabres will be hoping their young netminder can improve on the .889 SV% he's posted across 19 NHL appearances this season. He draws a difficult assignment in his return with the Sabres being +160 underdogs in Los Angeles.

Georgiev will start his third straight game in a Wednesday night matchup against the Washington Capitals. Despite salvaging a respectable 6-3-0 record, Georgiev has been leaky between the pipes lately, posting a .885 SV% while allowing three or more goals in all but one contest. Colorado is a -255 home favourite against a Washington club that the Minnesota Wild defeated 5-3 last night.

Leschyshyn had four goals, three assists, and 10 PIMs in 16 games with Hartford (AHL) this season and has earned his second call up of the year to the Rangers on Wednesday. Leschyshyn appeared in one game previously this season for the Rangers on the 11th of January and was a -1 plus/minus across 10 shifts and only 6:28 TOI. He's played 77 career NHL games in four seasons.

Despite showcasing his worst performance in a Red Wings uniform on Tuesday, allowing five goals on 32 shots (.844 SV%) in a 5-4 loss to the Dallas Stars, Lyon will return to the crease on Thursday against his former club, the Philadelphia Flyers. Lyon played well against the Flyers last month, saving 15 of 16 shots (.938 SV%) but exited the contest in the second period due to an injury.

Georgiev will likely start his third straight game in a Wednesday night matchup against the Washington Capitals. Despite salvaging a respectable 6-3-0 record, Georgiev has been leaky between the pipes lately, posting a .885 SV% while allowing three or more goals in all but one contest. Colorado is a -255 home favourite against a Washington club that the Minnesota Wild defeated 5-3 last night.

Byram will return to the Avalanche lineup on Wednesday for his first game since January 4th, an eight-game absence. Before his injury, Byram was amid a cold stretch, with only two points (1G / 1A) in his last 11 games.

A rested Luukkonen will return to the crease for the Sabres on Tuesday in their first game since Saturday. Luukkonen has allowed three or fewer goals in his last seven games (5-2-0), boasting a tremendous .948 SV% and two shutouts. The Sabres are coming off a 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning but are -165 road favourites in a favourable matchup against the Anaheim Ducks, who rank fourth-worst in the league offensively (2.50 GF / GP).

Lyon was tremendous in his last outing, saving 27 of 28 shots (.964 SV%) in a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, and will likely return to the crease on Tuesday. Lyon has been the backbone of the Red Wings push for the playoffs, starting 10 of their last 11 games (7-2-1), allowing three or fewer goals in all but one contest, posting a respectable .919 SV%. The Red Wings are +126 home underdogs on Tuesday against a Dallas Stars team that is coming off a disappointing 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Islanders.

Bryson has spent most of his season as a healthy scratch for the Sabres or playing for the Rochester Americans (AHL), where he has three points (0G / 3A) in 10 games. In three games with the Sabres, he has two hits and six blocks while averaging 9:26 time-on-ice.
