Winners of its last five games, the Avalanche hosts the Utah Mammoth for a Central Division matchup on Tuesday. This is the third of four regular-season meetings between the teams, with the Avs posting a 1-0-1 record in the previous two matchups. The regular-season series finale will take place on February 25th in Salt Lake City.

What’s more is that Colten McIntyre, who typically practices with the team both at home and on the road, would serve as Utah’s emergency backup goalie. He’ll sit on the Mammoth’s bench, and in the case of an injury to Vaněček, he would enter the game.

UFC legend Andrei Arlovski unexpectedly found himself involved in arguably the night's most viral moment following the conclusion of Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua. Join Ariel Helwani and the gang live at 1 p.m. ET as we send off the final live show of the year by reacting to the mammoth weekend in combat sports.

Karel Vejmelka (upper body) was originally expected to start, but Vanecek will instead get the nod. Vanecek hasn't won since Oct. 26 versus the Jets, going 0-6-1 with a 3.43 GAA and an .855 save percentage over his last seven contests. It'll be a tall task to shake off that skid against the NHL's top team.
