Lomberg was suspended for his instigator penalty in the final five minutes of Sunday's loss to the Lightning. Maxim Mamin will likely draw back into the lineup to replace Lomgberg on Tuesday unless Carter Verhaeghe (undisclosed) its ready to go.

Lomberg has played in 10 straight games but will get a night off on Tuesday. Lomberg plays a rugged game, so some late-season maintenance will help keep him fresh. Maxim Mamin will replace him on the fourth line.

Kadri suffered an upper-body injury vs. the Sharks on March 31st and despite finishing that game, is going to sideline him for an extended period of time. The Avalanche are expecting him back for the playoffs, whether that's game 1 or not remains to be seen.

Sharangovich was hurt early in Tuesday's game against the Rangers but was on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and is expected to skate on the top-line vs. the Canadiens. Sharangovich has been playing very well as of late, scoring seven goals with five assists (12 points) in his last 14 games.
