GDT: Avalanche vs Maple Leafs, Game #37

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Your Colorado Avalanche take on the Maple Leafs of Toronto at the Pepsi Center. Game time is 9pm ET/7pm in the mountains and can be seen on Altitude and NHLtv. Moser’s radio call will be available as usual from the NHL app and Gamecenter.

Tyson Barrie is on injured reserve and with the roster freeze lifted yesterday the Avs recalled defenseman Andrei Mironov from the Rampage. Miro spent 11 games in San Antonio this latest stint and had a goal (his first as a pro in North America) and 4 assists. He won’t be in the lineup tonight however. Nail Yakupov also won’t be in the lineup in favor of Gabe Bourque. Varly starts again vs former Avs fan favorite Calvin Pickard, making his Toronto debut and first NHL start this season.
