Avs recall Jacob MacDonald, Justus Annunen for season finale

We’re lastly to the tip of the NHL common season tonight. Avalanche at Minnesota Wild – a possible second-round playoff preview. We nonetheless don’t know the complete lineup for tonight for the Avs, however we all know Jacob MacDonald will probably be within the lineup and Justus Annunen would be the backup goalie to Pavel Francouz.

The Avs recalled each gamers final evening from the Eagles, who begin their very own playoff sequence subsequent week.

It’ll be good to see Jacob MacDonald again within the lineup. I talked to him at size earlier this month in California, about his restoration from concussion earlier within the 12 months.

Darcy Kuemper is not going to make the journey to Minnesota. He little question might use a pair days of relaxation.

I’d count on Kurtis MacDermid to play tonight. Avs should be on their toes for this one, as you realize the Wild would like to get in a pair low cost pictures in opposition to some good Avs gamers, little question. After that final sport in Minnesota, when Nathan MacKinnon practically injured himself in a battle, the Avs should be prepared for something.

The Wild have to get a degree to make sure home-ice benefit of their first-round sequence, which will probably be in opposition to St. Louis. So, they’ve one thing to play for. The Avs don’t. The Presidents’ Trophy is gone, after Florida’s win final evening. Bear in mind, the final eight Presidents’ Trophy winners have one factor in frequent: they’ve did not win the Stanley Cup.

Extra lineup information right here as soon as I get it…

*Cale Makar is predicted to get an evening off, with MacDonald coming into the lineup.
