On the Avalanche side, we could see Ross Colton make his debut with Joel Kiviranta coming out of the lineup, though nothing is confirmed from head Coach Jared Bednar

On the Kings side, we could see the debut of Andrei Kuzmenko as he was recovering from a torn meniscus in his knee sustained on February 25, 2026. Mathieu Joseph could be someone coming out of the lineup if Kuzemenko does make his debut in Game 3.
