Knyzhov has been a healthy scratch for the Sharks' last three games but will draw back into the lineup Wednesday vs. Seattle. The 25-year-old undrafted defenseman has yet to score this season but has an assist, six SOG, six PIMs and a -5 plus/minus through nine games played.

Georgiev entered the final minute of play with a 3-2 lead over the Nashville Predators on Monday but allowed two goals in 16 seconds en route to a 4-3 regulation loss. Georgiev's 3.08 GAA and .888 SV% through 15 games (10-5-0) leaves a lot to be desired, but the Bulgarian goaltender has consistently collected victories when called upon this season. The Avalanche are -163 home favourites against a Vancouver Canucks team that leads the league offensively, averaging 4.11 goals scored per game.

Kostin was in the lineup for the last 10 games for the Red Wings, recording two points (1G / 1A), and will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday as the team will likely dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen.

Duehr will enter the Flames' lineup on Monday as Adam Ruzicka will be a healthy scratch. He last played on November 7th and will likely skate on the Flames' fourth line alongside A.J. Greer and Dillon Dube. Duehr has four points (1G / 3A) in 12 games with the Flames this season.

Georgiev will start for the fifth consecutive game and look to extend Colorado's win streak to four games. After an abysmal five-game stretch (1-4-0) where Georgiev allowed 23 goals on 137 shots (.832 SV%), he seems to have rebounded back into form, saving 58 of 64 (.906 SV%) in his last three contests (3-0-0). The Avalanche are -150 road favourites on Monday against a Nashville Predators team that has allowed three or more goals in four of their last five games (1-4-0).

After playing one game and failing to record a point, Lindblom was placed on the injured reserve with a lower-body injury and is considered out week-to-week. The 27-year-old left-winger had six goals, 15 points, and 18 PIMs with the Sharks in 2022-23.

Georgiev will take the crease for the Avalanche for the seventh time in eight games and is in the midst of a two-game winning streak after allowing two goals on 17 shots (.882 SV%) in a victory over Anaheim last game. The 27-year-old has picked up wins this season despite his less-than-ideal counting stats as he is 9-4-0 with a .890 SV% and a 3.01 GAA. He takes on the red-hot Dallas Stars, who have won four straight and are 11th in the NHL in goals per game (3.4).

Gushchin had an assist, and three SOG while averaging 14:57 TOI in two games with San Jose but has been loaned to the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) Friday. The 21-year-old right winger returns to the AHL, where he was on a tear earlier in the season with four goals, 13 points, six PIMs and a +3 plus/minus.

Vlasic has yet to pick up a point through 13 games this season while averaging just 13:54 TOI and will be the odd man out of San Jose's lineup as he is replaced by Kyle Burroughs. The 36-year-old veteran is in his 18th NHL season and has struggled to create any type of offence as he has a -8 plus/minus and only 10 SOG.

Georgiev will start for the Avalanche on Wednesday when they welcome the Anaheim Ducks into town. Georgiev is coming off a solid 18-save effort (.947 SV%) in a 5-1 win over the Seattle Kraken on Monday, his first quality start in over three weeks. Before Monday's contest, Georgiev had an ugly .832 SV% in his previous five games (1-4-0). The Avalanche hope Georgiev's most recent effort is a sign he is getting his game back on track as they are huge -306 home favourites against a Ducks team that played in Nashville last night.

Duehr will sit in favour of A.J. Greer on Tuesday. Duehr has registered one goal and three assists in 12 games this season with an ATOI of 8:22.

Poturalski had two goals, seven points and two PIMs in 10 games played with Coachella Valley (AHL) to start the season and has been recalled to Seattle for the first time Tuesday. The 29-year-old forward has appeared in four NHL games since he made his debut in 2016-17 with Carolina, and has no goals, two assists and a -4 plus/minus.

Gushchin, the 76th overall pick of the Sharks in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, will make his season debut on Tuesday. He played his first two NHL games last season, tallying two points (1G / 1A) with the Sharks. This season with the Barracuda, Gushchin has 13 points (4G / 9A) in 11 games.

Dellandrea has been a healthy scratch for the Stars' previous three games but will draw back into the lineup Tuesday vs. Arizona as he replaces Sam Steel. The 23-year-old centre has struggled out of the gate this season, with his one assist, nine SOG, two PIMs and -1 plus/minus in nine games played. He returns to his role on line four.

Georgiev allowed six goals on 28 shots before being relieved by Ivan Prosvetov on Saturday but will likely get a chance to redeem himself as the expected starter for the Avalanche on Monday. Georgiev's play has been horrid lately, allowing four or more goals in five of his last seven contests (3-4-0) and losing four of his last five (1-4-0) while posting a .832 SV%. Working in Georgiev's favour is his strong track record against the Seattle Kraken. In his only contest against the Kraken this season, Georgiev saved 37 of 38 shots (.974 SV%) and posted a 1.64 GAA and .925 SV% in three games against them last season (3-0-0).

After playing one game and failing to record a point, Lindblom was placed on the injured reserve with an undisclosed injury. In a corresponding move, the Sharks have recalled Danil Gushchin from the AHL.

This season with the Barracuda, Gushchin has 13 points (4G / 9A) in 11 games. In a corresponding move, Oskar Lindblom was reassigned to the AHL.
