Checking in from the Pepsi Center here, where the Avs hope to get back to winning ways against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
These look to be your Avs lines tonight, based on the morning skate:
Landeskog-MacKinnon-Iginla
’R-ٳܳԱ-ѳҾԲ
Tanguay-Mitchell-Everberg
McLeod-Cliche-Talbot
The defensive pairings seem to be these:
Holden-Johnson
Redmond-Barrie
Hejda-Guenin
Reto Berra in net. Those D pairings might change. Holden and Redmond skated with different partners at times, so we’ll have to see what Patrick Roy sticks with.
Roy said on his 104.3 The Fan radio show this morning that he will try more zone coverage in the defensive zone instead of pure man-to-man. He has to try something to cut down on the shots and possession time against.
