Matthew Stienburg News

Stienburg has been suspended for two games for charging Tampa Bay's Erik Cernak.

Stienburg was assessed 17 minutes in penalties, including a game misconduct, in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Tampa Lightning for charging Erik Cernak. Colorado's forward group is already thin due to a myriad of injuries and resorted to using defenseman Oliver Kylington as a third-line winger. To Colorado's advantage, Artturi Lehkonen (shoulder) is expected to make his season debut on Tuesday, creating some relief for a team already struggling to fill out their lineup.
