Darcy Kuemper got his Stanley Cup ring when Colorado visited Washington back in November. Now, he'll make his first start in Denver as a visitor since backstopping last year's championship run.

He'll do so against an Avalanche team that seems to have rediscovered the mojo that made it a champion in winning five straight after hitting rock bottom in a loss to Chicago, that may be getting back a Norris Trophy winner if Cale Makar is ready to play tonight.
