- Puck drop is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. MT on ESPN as Colorado (5-0-1) meets Utah (4-2-0) in Salt Lake City.
- Colorado is 3-0-0 on the road, having allowed just one goal in each of its five wins behind a stingy team defense.
- Wedgewood is likely to start again for the Avalanche after a league-leading five wins and a 1.48 goals-against average through six games.
- Blackwood practiced Monday but did not travel; Trent Miner is the available backup for Colorado.
- Utah is 3-0-0 at the Delta Center with Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz driving recent offense, and Vejmelka is expected in net after three straight wins since the opening 2-1 loss to Colorado.
