Status report
The Avalanche did not hold a morning skate following a 4-2 win at the Los Angeles Kings on Monday. … Lehkonen was injured during the first period Monday, and Colorado coach Jared Bednar said afterward that the forward would “miss some time.” . … Polin was recalled from Colorado of the American Hockey League on Tuesday. … Kiviranta remains in concussion protocol following a hit by Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman during a 5-2 loss on Thursday; the forward skated in a noncontact jersey Monday. … Forwards Vatrano and Strome each participated in the morning skate, but the Ducks will dress the same lineup for the third straight game.
