Getting your player ready...
It should be the same lineup for the Avalanche tonight as it was in Game 1, when it takes on the Minnesota Wild in Game 2 of a playoff series at Xcel Energy Center.
The Avs went through their morning skate today, and no injuries were reported from Game 1, although forward Ian Laperriere is sore from blocking a shot by the Wild’s Brian Rolston.
The Wild was worried that defenseman Martin Skoula might not be able to play Game 2 because of a leg bruise after being hit with a shot by Colorado’s Ruslan Salei just before Joe Sakic scored the overtime-winning goal.
But Skoula, a former Avs player, skated this morning and the Wild says he will play.
