Defenceman Cale Makar will make his return for Game 3 against the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday (8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+).
Makar missed the first two games of the Western Conference Final with an upper-body injury and watched the Avalanche drop both to head to Vegas in a 2-0 series hole.
The Canadian blue-liner has four goals and an assist while averaging nearly 25 minutes of ice time through the opening two rounds.
Games 1 and 2 starting goalie Scott Wedgewood will return between the pipes in Game 3. The 33-year-old stopped 22 of 24 shots in a Game 2 loss and is operating at a .912 save percentage this post-season.
