Projected Lineup: Avalanche at Predators

The Colorado Avalanche will make a few changes to its lineup for tonight's game at Bridgestone Arena against the Nashville Predators.
"(Gabriel) Bourque is coming in and (Sven) Andrighetto, (Sheldon) Dries and (Vladislav) Kamenev is out," head coach Jared Bednar said after morning skate. "Tyson Barrie is injured and (Mark) Barberio goes in there too as well. So we got three new guys coming in, and Varly is back in net."

It will be the first game this season that Barrie will miss. He has 20 points (three goals, 17 assists) through 23 games in 2018-19 and is tied for seventh in the league with a plus-13 rating.
Barberio has played in six outings this campaign and has one goal. Andrighetto has been a healthy scratch for the Avs' last two games and Bourque's last contest was on Nov. 18 at the Anaheim Ducks.
Goaltender Semyon Varlamov owns an 8-5-2 record this season with a .926 save percentage and 2.34 goals-against average. He is coming off a 27-save performance on Saturday in the team's 3-2 win over the Dallas Stars.
Below is the Avalanche's projected lineup. All forward combinations and defensive pairings are subject to change.
