Goalie Start
Blackwood will start Tuesday vs. the Golden Knights.
Blackwood allowed two goals on 17 shots after replacing Louis Domingue in last night's blowout loss in Buffalo. On the tail-end of a back-to-back, Blackwood will make his 18th start of the season. The 22-year-old has gone 3-4-3 with a 2.74 GAA and .895 SV% on home-ice this season so it'd be wise to avoid him with the Golden Knights in town.
Hudon will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
Hudon has played in eight straight games but will be replaced by Matthew Peca on Tuesday night. Hudon has just one assist and a minus-4 rating in eight games this season.
Necas will not play Saturday due to a lower-body injury.

Francouz (concussion) will serve as Colorado's backup on Tuesday.
Francouz has missed the last two games but will serve as Philipp Grubauer's backup on Tuesday. Colorado will get both of their goalies back tonight, but look for Francouz to start soon to ensure that Grubauer eases back into things.

Francouz (concussion) is expected to be available on Tuesday.
Francouz has missed the last two games with a concussion that he suffered before facing a single shot in Winnipeg last Tuesday. Philipp Grubauer is expected to be back tomorrow as well, so look for Francouz to serve as the backup.
