Georgiev will return to the crease for the fifth straight game on Monday night when the Avalanche face off against his former team, the New York Rangers. Georgiev is riding a three-game winning streak, saving 85 of 92 shots (.924 SV%) and has been stellar in limited action against his former team, posting a 1.38 GAA and .960 SV% in two contests (1-0-1). The Avalanche have won three straight but are slight -102 road underdogs on Monday.

Lyon will return to the crease for the seventh straight game on Wednesday as the Red Wings look to extend their winning streak to three games before the All-Star break. Lyon has been exceptional during his two-game winning streak, saving 58 of 60 shots (.967 SV%), including one shutout. The Red Wings are -120 home favourites against an Ottawa Senators club with points in six of their last seven outings (4-1-2).
Quinn suffered the injury during Saturday's game in San Jose. The only initial update given by the team was that it was more serious than a day-to-day situation, and that was certainly accurate given the eight-week timeline announced today. Quinn was enjoying a nice start to his season after returning from an Achilles injury in mid-December, registering five goals and seven assists in 17 games. The timeline of his latest injury puts him on track to return around the end of March.
Georgiev will start for the fourth straight game on Wednesday evening and attempt to extend Colorado's winning streak to three games. Georgiev has allowed three or more goals in eight of his last 10 games, and despite posting an ugly .888 SV%, he has salvaged an impressive 7-3-0 record. The 27-year-old Georgiev has not been consistently reliable at keeping the puck out of the net this season but has been successful at accumulating wins, a trend likely to continue on Friday as the Avalanche are -146 home favourites against a Los Angeles Kings club that has lost four of their last five (1-3-1).
Benson will get the night off on Wednesday as the Sabres are set to play their second game in as many nights. Eric Robinson will draw into the lineup in his place.
Samuelsson is considered day-to-day with the undisclosed injury. He'll be replaced by Jacob Bryson in the Sabres' lineup on Wednesday.
Levi will get his first chance back between the pipes for the Sabres since being recalled from Rochester (AHL) on Sunday. Levi's last outing came on January 9th, when he surrendered five goals on just 26 shots as Buffalo fell to the Kraken by a score of 5-2. Time will tell if the three appearances Levi made in the AHL helped him sort out his game, but the Sabres will be hoping their young netminder can improve on the .889 SV% he's posted across 19 NHL appearances this season. He draws a difficult assignment in his return with the Sabres being +160 underdogs in Los Angeles.
Georgiev will start his third straight game in a Wednesday night matchup against the Washington Capitals. Despite salvaging a respectable 6-3-0 record, Georgiev has been leaky between the pipes lately, posting a .885 SV% while allowing three or more goals in all but one contest. Colorado is a -255 home favourite against a Washington club that the Minnesota Wild defeated 5-3 last night.
Leschyshyn had four goals, three assists, and 10 PIMs in 16 games with Hartford (AHL) this season and has earned his second call up of the year to the Rangers on Wednesday. Leschyshyn appeared in one game previously this season for the Rangers on the 11th of January and was a -1 plus/minus across 10 shifts and only 6:28 TOI. He's played 77 career NHL games in four seasons.
Despite showcasing his worst performance in a Red Wings uniform on Tuesday, allowing five goals on 32 shots (.844 SV%) in a 5-4 loss to the Dallas Stars, Lyon will return to the crease on Thursday against his former club, the Philadelphia Flyers. Lyon played well against the Flyers last month, saving 15 of 16 shots (.938 SV%) but exited the contest in the second period due to an injury.

Byram will return to the Avalanche lineup on Wednesday for his first game since January 4th, an eight-game absence. Before his injury, Byram was amid a cold stretch, with only two points (1G / 1A) in his last 11 games.
A rested Luukkonen will return to the crease for the Sabres on Tuesday in their first game since Saturday. Luukkonen has allowed three or fewer goals in his last seven games (5-2-0), boasting a tremendous .948 SV% and two shutouts. The Sabres are coming off a 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning but are -165 road favourites in a favourable matchup against the Anaheim Ducks, who rank fourth-worst in the league offensively (2.50 GF / GP).
