It’s time to put it all on the line.
And from the looks of things, the cavalry is coming.
The Colorado Avalanche defend home ice against the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night with a 1-1 series. The Avalanche convincingly took Game 1 by a 5-1 score, while Game 2 needed extra time to come to a 4-3 decision in favor of the Stars.

Before the puck dropped for Game 2, Avalanche fans were treated to a little tease. Captain Gabriel Landeskog took the warmup skate. However, the decision was made to keep him out of the lineup.

Sometimes, it’s better to cut bait and avoid any more damage.
Changes To Avalanche Defense
Sam Malinski was spotted taking line rushes with Ryan Lindgren. Erik Johnson and Keaton Middleton skated together as a pairing.
However, Malinski got off the ice before Johnson did. Confirmation of the defense pairings may not be available until warm-ups, but this is a curious development.
Gabriel Landeskog Good To Go?
Everyone on hand for the morning skate has reported that Landeskog is skating. He’s wearing a burgundy powerplay two jersey. However, he also took rushes with the first unit powerplay. This indeed suggests that he will be in the lineup.
Like Avalanche fans learned last game, anything can (and can’t) happen. Don’t expect anything to be confirmed until warmups take place right before the game.
Buckle up, tonight could be an exciting night in Denver.
