Keegan Kolesar News

Kolesar was a healthy scratch for Game 5 but will replace Pavel Dorofeyev for Game 6. Kolesar has not registered a point and has four shots and 18 hits in four games in the series.

Kolesar will head to the press box as a healthy scratch for Game 5 on Wednesday as he is replaced by Pavel Dorofeyev. The 27-year-old had failed to pick up a point in his four appearances this post season, with his four SOG, and a -1 plus/minus while averaging just 11:03 TOI/GP.

Kolesar will return to the lineup after missing the Golden Knights' previous two games due to an undisclosed injury. He has two goals and three assists in 32 games this season.

Pavel Dorofeyev will draw back into the lineup in place of Kolesar, who will not play due to an undisclosed injury. Kolesar has five points (2G / 3A) in 32 games this season and is among the league leaders with 97 hits.

Kolesar has missed the last seven games with a hip injury but will be a game-time decision on Wednesday. Kolesar skated on a line with Will Carrier and Dylan Coghlan in Tuesday's practice, so it appears he's on track to play vs. the Avalanche.

Kolesar remains day-to-day with a lower-body injury and will not play Monday vs. the Sharks. With Kolesar still out, Tomas Jurco will remain in the Golden Knights' bottom-6.

Kolesar was originally drafted in the third round by the Blue Jackets in 2015 and will get a chance to make his NHL debut vs. the team that drafted him on Saturday. The 22-year-old has 10 points (2G / 8A) in 24 AHL games this season.
