Johansson has a 12-9-1 record, .915 SV% and 2.51 GAA with the Colorado Eagles (AHL) and has been recalled to the Avalanche on Thursday. The 27-year-old has seen one game of NHL action this season, stopping all seven of seven shots across 23:15 TOI.


Vasilevskiy allowed four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%) for his first loss in four starts as he was defeated by Vegas the Lightnings' previous contest. The 28-year-old has led the NHL in wins for each of the last five seasons and is back on pace to potentially do so again with his 26-14-1 record, 2.56 GAA and .918 SV%. He will take on the Anaheim Ducks, who are in the midst of a five-game losing skid after a 4-3 overtime loss to Florida last game.

Johansson has a 12-8-0 record, .917 SV% and 2.42 GAA with the Colorado Eagles (AHL) and has been recalled by the Colorado Avalanche Monday. It is the second time Johansson has been called up, stopping seven of seven shots in a relief appearance in his previous start.


Paul left Tuesday's game with an undisclosed injury and did not return. Head coach Jon Cooper said Paul will not play Thursday vs. Colorado.

Vasilevskiy allowed seven goals on 49 shots (.857 SV%) as he was peppered in his previous start, ending a three-game winning streak as he lost 7-1 to Florida. It has been another successful season for the goaltender who has led the NHL in wins the last five seasons, with his 23-13-1 record, 2.63 GAA, and .916 SV%. He takes on the Colorado Avalanche, who lost their last game 2-1 vs. Pittsburgh in overtime but have won seven of their last nine games.

Paul left Tuesday's game with an undisclosed injury and did not return. Head coach Jon Cooper did not have an update on Paul's status post-game, so consider him questionable to play Thursday vs. Colorado until the Lightning provides an update on his status.
