Georgiev will likely return to the crease for the fifth straight game on Monday night when the Avalanche face off against his former team, the New York Rangers. Georgiev is riding a three-game winning streak, saving 85 of 92 shots (.924 SV%) and has been stellar in limited action against his former team, posting a 1.38 GAA and .960 SV% in two contests (1-0-1). The Avalanche have won three straight but are slight -102 road underdogs on Monday.

Ferraro left the Sharks' game a week ago vs. Los Angeles after just 14:02 due to an undisclosed injury and has been placed on the Injured Reserve Monday. The 25-year-old had been a key part of San Jose's blue line throughout the year, with his 14 points (1G/13A), 26 PIMs, 79 SOG, and -21 plus/minus.

Thrun was caught earlier in the week with a wrap around his shoulder and will be out Saturday as San Jose takes on Buffalo and has officially been placed on the Injured Reserve. The 22-year-old rookie defender has had his fair share of growing pains in his first season, with a goal, two assists, 28 SOG, four PIMs and a -7 plus/minus in 23 games played.

Mukhamadullin was a key piece in the trade that sent Timo Meier to New Jersey and will make his NHL debut Saturday vs. Buffalo. The 22-year-old Russian defensemen was the 20th overall pick in the 2020 NHL draft and has excelled with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) this season, with 26 points (5G/21A) in 39 games played.

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).

Dellandrea will be the odd-man out on Thursday as Craig Smith draws back into the lineup. Dellandrea has one goal and two assists in 21 games this season.

Mukhamadullin was the 20th overall pick of the New Jersey Devils in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft before being traded to the San Jose Sharks as part of the Timo Meier deal last season. In 39 games with the San Jose Baracuda, Mukhamadullin has 26 points (5G / 21A).

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.

Ferraro was limited to only 14:02 time-on-ice before exiting Monday's game against the Los Angeles Kings with an undisclosed injury. Calen Addison will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday against the New York Rangers.

Sabourin was a healthy scratch the last two games and will return to the San Jose Barracuda of the AHL. In three games with the Sharks, Sabourin has been held off the scoresheet but has three shots and 10 hits.

Dellandrea played his first game in three weeks on Saturday and recorded one assist in 15:01 time-on-ice, but returned to being a healthy scratch on Sunday. On Tuesday, he will draw back into the lineup and play on the fourth line with Radek Faksa and Sam Steel.

Vanecek served as the backup to Nico Daws on Saturday in a one-side 6-2 loss to the Dallas Stars. Given Vanecek's tremendous effort the previous night, saving 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in a 4-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Devils will turn back to him on Monday. Vanecek has helped a struggling Devils squad record at least a point in each of his last three starts (2-0-1), posting a .907 SV% in the process. The Devils, losers of three of their last four (1-3-0), are -120 road underdogs against the Vegas Golden Knights, who are riding a three-game winning streak.
