Status report
Hill will return and start after missing eight games with a lower-body injury. ... Thompson had been scheduled to start in goal but being out with an illness changed those plans. ... Georgiev will make his 11th start in 12 games. ... Manson, a defenseman who missed a 4-3 shootout win against the Boston Bruins on Monday, and Wood, a forward who has missed two games, each will be out again Wednesday, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said.
