Quick started the final game before the All-Star break for the Rangers and will likely return to the crease in their first game back on Monday evening. The consecutive starts likely correlate to Igor Shesterkin participating in the All-Star game, but even so, Quick has played well lately. In his last two outings (1-1-0), the 38-year-old Quick has 53 of 57 shots, posting a stellar .930 SV%. The Rangers are slight -115 home favourites against an Avalanche club riding a three-game winning streak.

Through three games and only 8:25 average TOI he has a goal and an assist to go along with his +1 plus/minus.

Before his injury, Pacioretty registered four points (0G / 4A) in his last five games.

Forbort missed Boston's previous game as he dealt with an undisclosed injury but has used the break to heal up and was a full participant in Boston's practice Sunday.

DeBrusk missed one game prior to the All-Star break due to an undisclosed injury but was a full participant Sunday in Boston's practice and looks ready to return Tuesday vs. Calgary.

Scheifele has missed the Jets' previous six games as he dealt with a lower-body injury but will return to Winnipeg's lineup on Tuesday vs. Pittsburgh.
