After getting the night off on the back end of a back-to-back on Tuesday, Georgiev will return to the crease for the sixth time in the last seven games. Georgiev has been excellent lately, posting a .938 SV% across his last three games (2-0-1) while allowing two or fewer goals in each contest, his first stretch of that calibre since the opening week of the season. That said, the Avalanche are +122 road underdogs on Thursday against a Carolina Hurricanes club that saw their three-game winning streak end with a 3-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday.

Vanecek will start for the third straight game on Thursday night when the Devils host the Calgary Flames. Vanecek was terrific in his last outing, snapping a two-game losing skid by limiting the high-scoring Colorado Avalanche to only three goals on 38 shots (.921 SV%) in a 5-3 victory. The Devils enter action as -137 home favourites despite the Flames carrying momentum from a 4-1 win over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.

Gawanke has spent the entirety of the season with the San Jose Baracuda of the AHL, tallying 27 points (8G / 19A) in 38 games. The 24-year-old was the fifth-round pick of the Winnipeg Jets in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. He will return to Germany and will play for Adler Mannheim.

Dellandrea was a healthy scratch for the Stars' previous three games but will draw back into the lineup Wednesday vs. Toronto instead of Craig Smith. The 23-year-old former 1st-round pick (13th overall) has struggled to produce throughout the 2023-24 season, with only three points (1G/2A), 17 SOG, 10 PIMs, and a -9 plus/minus through 21 games.

Toffoli was a surprise scratch for Tuesday's game, with the team only announcing his absence at the start of warmups. Max Willman will draw into the Devils' lineup to fill the void.

Vanecek will start for the third time in the last four games for the Devils in a challenging matchup against the high-scoring Colorado Avalanche. The Devils have lost two straight, and Vanecek has allowed four or more goals in each of his last two starts. That said, Vanecek and the Devils will be facing off against an Avalanche club that lost a hard-fought battle last night, 2-1 versus the New York Rangers in overtime.

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.

Ferraro left the Sharks' game a week ago vs. Los Angeles after just 14:02 due to an undisclosed injury and has been placed on the Injured Reserve Monday. The 25-year-old had been a key part of San Jose's blue line throughout the year, with his 14 points (1G/13A), 26 PIMs, 79 SOG, and -21 plus/minus.

Thrun was caught earlier in the week with a wrap around his shoulder and will be out Saturday as San Jose takes on Buffalo and has officially been placed on the Injured Reserve. The 22-year-old rookie defender has had his fair share of growing pains in his first season, with a goal, two assists, 28 SOG, four PIMs and a -7 plus/minus in 23 games played.

Mukhamadullin was a key piece in the trade that sent Timo Meier to New Jersey and will make his NHL debut Saturday vs. Buffalo. The 22-year-old Russian defensemen was the 20th overall pick in the 2020 NHL draft and has excelled with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) this season, with 26 points (5G/21A) in 39 games played.

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).

Dellandrea will be the odd-man out on Thursday as Craig Smith draws back into the lineup. Dellandrea has one goal and two assists in 21 games this season.

Mukhamadullin was the 20th overall pick of the New Jersey Devils in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft before being traded to the San Jose Sharks as part of the Timo Meier deal last season. In 39 games with the San Jose Baracuda, Mukhamadullin has 26 points (5G / 21A).

Duehr last played for the Flames on January 16th, registering one hit in 7:48 time-on-ice. His call-up is likely in correspondence to Adam Ruzicka being placed on waivers on Wednesday afternoon.
