The Minnesota Wild and the Colorado Avalanche will both be testing their roster depth Tuesday night as they continue this four-game stretch.
For the Wild, forward Marcus Foligno is out on COVID protocol, while forward Marcus Johansson and Matt Dumba are both out with injuries with the latter being added to the injured reserve.
For the Avalanche, superstar Nathan MacKinnon is expected to be out for Tuesday’s game after he missed the third period of Sunday’s overtime win. The Avs are already playing without Erik Johnson — who took a massive hit from the Wild’s Jordan Greenway on Saturday — as well as Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Devon Toews, Matt Calvert and Pavel Francouz.
