Kostin was expected to re-enter the Red Wings lineup after Dylan Larkin was injured on Saturday but will instead join Larkin on the injured reserve with an undisclosed injury. Kostin scored in his last game but has only one point (1G / 0A) in his last nine contests. The Red Wings have recalled Zach-Aston Reese and Austin Czarnik from the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL.

Georgiev has quality starts in three of his last four outings and will look to continue his strong play on Thursday when the Avalanche welcome the Winnipeg Jets. In his past four games (2-1-1), Georgiev has a stellar .929 SV%, allowing only 10 total goals in that stretch. The Avalanche are -130 home favourites in their first game this season against the Jets, who are averaging only 2.0 goals per game over their last seven contests (4-3-0).

Martin Pospisil will draw back into the Flames lineup as Duehr will be a healthy scratch on Thursday. Duehr has four points (1G / 3A), averaging 8:11 time-on-ice through 15 games this season.

Dellandrea is the odd-man out on Wednesday after suiting up in each of the Stars' last two games. He has no goals and one assist in 14 games this season.

Georgiev is the starter for the Avalanche in a favourable matchup against the Anaheim Ducks and their fifth-worst offence in the league (2.75 GF / GP). The Avalanche have lost three straight contests (0-1-2), including a 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks last week with Ivan Prosvetov between the pipes, but are still sizeable -286 home favourites against the Ducks, whose only victory in their last nine games was against the Avalanche (1-8-0). Meanwhile, Georgiev has played admirably lately, allowing only 12 total goals in his five games (3-3-1), boasting a .924 SV%.

Duehr will draw back into the lineup in favour of Martin Pospisil, who will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday. Duehr has not played since November 22nd, serving as a healthy scratch for the last five games. He has four points (1G / 3A) in 14 games and is expected to play on an offensively-minded second line alongside Nazem Kadri and Connor Zary.

Matt Benning will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Vlasic to return to the lineup for only his second game since November 14th. Vlasic has zero points and -8 plus/minus in 14 games this season and is expected to play on the Sharks' second defensive pair alongside Calen Addison.

The Avalanche will hand the reigns back over to Georgiev on Sunday after Ivan Prosvetov got the start in Anaheim on Saturday. Georgiev took the loss in his last start in Thursday's game in Arizona, allowing four goals on 32 shots in the 4-3 overtime defeat. He's struggled to find his form this season, posting an .897 SV% across a league leading 19 appearances. He has a difficult task ahead of him on Sunday with the Avs being slight road underdogs (+115) in Los Angeles.
