Colorado at Washington

Colorado won the only meeting this season 6-2 on Jan. 24 when Alexandar Georgiev stopped 23 of 25 shots and Nathan MacKinnon scored four goals for the Avalanche. Georgiev is expected in net tonight with a 27-13-3 record and 2.94 goals-against average. Charlie Lindgren is likely for Washington and he allowed all six goals in the last meeting. Lindgren shutout the Bruins on Saturday, but he'd lost four in a row before that. The Avalanche will be looking to salvage something from this road trip after losing the first four games. The Capitals haven't fared much better recently, losing seven of their past eight, including 3-2 in overtime to Vancouver on Sunday, and they have scored more than three goals just once in that span and they lost that one. Washington has lost 11 of 15 Tuesday games and it averages only 2.37 goals per game this season. Take the Avalanche as my NHL Game of the Month.
