Goalie Start

Line Change
Thompson will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
Bains has been recalled from Abbotsford (AHL).
Bains recorded his first career NHL goal on Saturday and has been impressive in Vancouver this season but continues to be a part of paper transactions sending him back to Abbotsford (AHL) due to salary cap implications. Last season with Abbotsford (AHL), Bains was an offensive stalwart, producing 55 points (16G / 39A) in 59 games, but the 23-year-old has played exclusively at the NHL level this season.
The Avalanche reassigned Stienburg to the Colorado Eagles (AHL) on Thursday.
The move comes just hours after Stienburg was assessed a two-game suspension. Stienburg was assessed 17 minutes in penalties, including a game misconduct, in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Tampa Lightning for charging Erik Cernak.
Stienburg has been suspended for two games for charging Tampa Bay's Erik Cernak.
Stienburg was assessed 17 minutes in penalties, including a game misconduct, in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Tampa Lightning for charging Erik Cernak. Colorado's forward group is already thin due to a myriad of injuries and resorted to using defenseman Oliver Kylington as a third-line winger. To Colorado's advantage, Artturi Lehkonen (shoulder) is expected to make his season debut on Tuesday, creating some relief for a team already struggling to fill out their lineup.
Ohgren has been assigned to Iowa (AHL).
Ohgren was the 19th overall pick of the Minnesota Wild in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. The 20-year-old had zero points and -2 plus/minus in seven games with Minnesota this season and has been reassigned to the Iowa Wild (AHL).

Thompson will re-enter the lineup after sitting out the front-end of San Jose's back-to-back on Monday. The 22-year-old blue-liner has three assists in four games this season and will likely feature on the team's second power-play unit.
Line Change
Thomas will make his season debut on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Thomas has yet to play this season but had four points (3G / 1A) in seven games with the Kings last season. The 24-year-old Thomas was a second-round selection of the Kings in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.
Goalie Start
Lankinen will start on Monday vs. Carolina.
With Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) still sidelined for the foreseeable future, Lankinen has taken the reins of the Vancouver crease and will start for a fifth straight game on Monday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 29-year-old Lankinen is riding a four-game winning streak and has a stellar 1.95 GAA and .930 SV% through five games this season (4-0-1). That said, the Canucks enter action on Monday as +113 home underdogs against a Hurricanes club with a 5-2-0 record.
