The Avalanche closes out the regular season at San Jose on Saturday night, the second time in the last five years that Colorado will play its regular-season finale on the road. The Avs are 0-2-0 against the Sharks in 2018-19.

Player Spotlight: Tyson Barrie

Barrie scored the 73rd goal of his career last Wednesday against Vegas to take sole possession of first place on the franchise's all-time list for goals by a defenseman (Sandis Ozolinsh, 72). He is now Colorado/Quebec's all-time defensive leader in goals (73), assists (231) and points (304). Barrie's 44 assists this season are a new career high (43 in 2017-18) and the most by an Avalanche blueliner since Ray Bourque had 52 in 2000-01.

Quotable

"We got to just keep doing what we're doing. Take every game as an opportunity to play very well and to get better and put a great product out on the ice. I think we can't look too far in the future, and we certainly can't look in the past. We're still not out of the woods as far as the playoffs go; everyone in this room knows it is still a tight race." - Colorado Avalanche defenseman Ian Cole on the remaining regular-season games
