The Colorado Avalanche are set to face the Minnesota Wild in Game 4 of their playoff series, with a crucial matchup on the horizon. In a significant change to their lineup, Alexandar Georgiev will not be taking the ice, as the Avalanche have opted to start Alexandar Blackwood in goal instead. Meanwhile, the team has received a boost with the return of defenseman Josh Manson, who will be looking to make an impact after missing the previous game. However, the Avalanche will be without the services of Artturi Lehkonen, who has been ruled out due to injury, adding an extra layer of complexity to their playoff push.
