"Stanley Cup Rematch: Avalanche vs. Lightning - MacKinnon Questionable"

Ross Colton, who was traded from the Tampa Bay Lightning to the Colorado Avalanche, will face his former team for the first time, but he sees it as just another game. Meanwhile, Nathan MacKinnon's availability for the game is uncertain as he is "under the weather." Coach Bednar praised Colton's energy and contribution to the team, while also noting Josh Manson's improvement after a slow start. Alexandar Georgiev will be in net for the Avalanche, and the Lightning's powerplay is highly regarded.
