Projected Lineup: Avalanche vs. Wild

The Colorado Avalanche hosts the Minnesota Wild tonight in both teams' final game before the NHL All-Star Break.
It is the third of four meetings this campaign between the Central Division rivals and the second and last of the series to be played at Pepsi Center during the regular season.

Goaltender Philipp Grubauer will get the start in net for Colorado, his first since Jan. 8 at the Winnipeg Jets. Avs netminder Semyon Varlamov has played each of the past six games.
The only other change expected to the Avs' lineup will be on defense, as Ryan Graves will replace Mark Barberio on the backend. Graves was recalled from the Colorado Eagles of the American Hockey League on Thursday afternoon.
Below is the Avalanche's projected lineup for tonight's game based on the forward combinations and defensive pairings used during the club's last outing on Monday versus the Nashville Predators. They are subject to change.
