Wood played two games in a row after missing six months following hip surgery, so he'll just get an extra day off. The Devils have a back-to-back on Saturday/Sunday, so there's a chance Wood could be back in tomorrow.
MacKinnon missed Tuesday's game in Calgary with an upper-body injury that he suffered in a fight with Matt Dumba on Sunday. The Avalanche said that concern was "high" on Tuesday but it appears MacKinnon's re-evaluation went well and he should play vs. the Sharks. MacKinnon has picked up 27 points (13G / 14A) in his last 20 games.
Lehkonen will replace Nathan MacKinnon (upper-body) in the lineup on Tuesday. Lehkonen will skate on the second line with Alex Newhook and Andre Burakovskiy and has 29 points (13G / 16A) in 58 games this season.
MacKinnon's injury is believed to stem from his fight with Matt Dumba over the weekend. Head coach Jared Bednar said that concern is "high" in regards to MacKinnon's injury. Nazem Kadri will replace him on the first line and Artturi Lehkonen will make his Avalanche debut to take his place.
MacKinnon will not be available for a heavyweight tilt in Calgary on Tuesday. It's unclear exactly how the Avalanche lines will shake out but Devon Toews was on PP1 in the morning skate.
Drouin was out for precautionary reasons after coming into contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 but is now also dealing with an upper-body injury. Drouin was moved to IR on Friday and is expected to miss an extended period of time.
Lehkonen is still working through some immigration issues and is not eligible to play Friday vs. the Flyers. J.T Compher will remain on the Avalanche second line until Lehkonen is ready for his debut.
Cogliano was acquired from the Sharks at the trade deadline and will immediately jump into the Avalanche lineup on Wednesday. Cogliano will replace Ryan Murray in the lineup, with Kurtis MacDermid moving back to the blueline. Cogliano won't play more than a fourth-line role with PK time.
Lehkonen arrived in Colorado and was cleared to practice but his status for the game is uncertain due to immigration issues. Lehkonen will skate on the second line and second power-play unit if he's able to play.
