The Colorado Avalanche will have star Nathan MacKinnon in the lineup on Tuesday, May 26, as they try to stave off elimination against the Vegas Golden Knights.
MacKinnon was injured while blocking a shot in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals and was limited for the remainder of the game, a 5-3 loss in which the Avalanche blew a 3-0 lead.
Coach Jared Bednar told reporters on Tuesday that MacKinnon would play. However, he indicated forward Valeri Nichushkin is a game-time decision. "We'll see," he said.
Bednar is also making a goalie change, announcing Mackenzie Blackwood as the starter. Scott Wedgewood had started the first three games of the series.
"If he's loose and confident and playing his game, I think he has the ability to not only win us games, but steal us games," Bednar said of Blackwood.
The Golden Knights lead the best-of-seven series 3-0 and can clinch a spot in the Stanley Cup Final with a victory.
