The Colorado Avalanche are set to face off against the Arizona Coyotes in a rematch after a quick holiday break. The Avalanche are hoping to build off their 4-1 victory over the Coyotes last weekend and extend their win streak to three games. However, they will need to avoid the roller coaster of inconsistency that has plagued them in recent years. All eyes will be on Nathan MacKinnon, who is looking to extend his league-leading point streak to 19 games. MacKinnon's impressive performance this month may even put him in the running for the NHL's MVP honors. With an early morning flight to the desert, the Avalanche may have some surprises in store for their lineup
Will Sam Girard be activated in time for the game? If not, it's likely that the lineup will remain unchanged from their last game. On the other side, the Coyotes are hoping for payback and to hold onto their wild card playoff spot. They are likely to stick with the same lineup as they face the Avalanche. In terms of goaltending, Alexander Georgiev is expected to be back in net for the Avalanche after a good performance and several days of rest. For the Coyotes, it's likely that Karel Vejmelka will be given the chance to take on Colorado. Overall, this rematch promises to be an exciting and competitive match between two division rivals. Both teams have something to prove and will be giving it their all on the ice.
