Status report
Neither team held a morning skate. ... Kylington missed a 3-0 win against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday with a lower-body injury. The defenseman is considered day-to-day. … Landeskog, a forward, is scheduled for knee surgery Monday to repair a nagging injury, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said Saturday. Colorado could recall a forward from the American Hockey League or play with 11. … Girard, a defenseman, will be out approximately four weeks. … Byram practiced Saturday but there is no timetable for when the defenseman could play again.
