While Bednar is still finalizing his exact lineup, the coach did note he might make a switch in net for Saturday's homestand finale.
Goaltender Philipp Grubauer has played each of the three games this season, but Bednar says he wants to get backup Pavel Francouz some action in before the team heads out for its first road trip of the season.
The problem for Bednar is that Grubauer has played three solid games and is coming off his best one yet in which he made 39 saves against the runner-up club in last season's Stanley Cup Final.
"It is a tough decision going into tomorrow's game, but we don't want Frankie sitting too long either," Bednar said. "We've got a lot of back-to-backs coming up, and I don't really want him sitting around for three weeks before he plays."
Francouz appeared in two games in relief last season for the Avalanche, but his next start will be his first in the NHL. The Czech netminder joined Colorado in summer 2018 and played most of last year with the American Hockey League's Colorado Eagles before re-signing with the Avs in the offseason.
