Status report
Neither team held a morning skate Saturday. … MacKinnon is "possibly" an option to return, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said Friday; the center has missed 11 games with an upper-body injury. ... Helm, a center, is getting close to playing but there is no timeline for his return, Bednar said. ... Georgiev will make his eighth straight start.
