COLUMBUS Jake Muzzin Jersey , Ohio — for the Colorado Avalanche and the Columbus Blue Jackets heading into their matchup on Tuesday night at Nationwide Arena.The Avalanche (2-0-0) could be without captain Gabe Landeskog, the Denver Post reported. He was not at Monday’s practice before the team left for Columbus.The Blue Jackets (1-1-0) announced the same day that center Brandon Dubinsky will miss four to six weeks after suffering a strained oblique on Sunday during practice. Columbus already is dealing with the absence of all-star defenseman Seth Jones for the same length of time after he sustained a knee injury during the preseason.Article continues below ...The Post reported that Landeskog was seen going into the x-ray room after the Avalanche’s 5-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night. The left winger has one goal and one assist in Colorado’s first two games.“He’s dealing with a little bit of a lower-body thing, so we gave him a maintenance day,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said, according to the Post. “Hopefully, he’s good to go.”Just in case Landeskog is unavailable, the Avalanche recalled forward Vladislav Kamenev from the Colorado Eagles.During Monday’s practice, Bednar moved former Blue Jacket Matt Calvert up to Landeskog’s line to join Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon.“We want to see him be energized and help drive our group,” Bednar said.Calvert returns to Columbus to play against the Blue Jackets for the first time since he left this past summer as a free agent.Philipp Grubauer will make his first start in goal for the Avalanche. “The guys played unbelievable the last two games (in wins over Minnesota and Philadelphia), and we’ll try to carry that over Jeff Carter Jersey ,” Grubauer said.Grubauer was the starting goaltender for the Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals when they lost the first two games of a first-round playoff series with Columbus in April.“It’s a team that he’s familiar with,” Bednar said. “He played them over the last couple seasons out east and faced them in the playoffs a little bit. So, I think he’ll be excited to go.”The Avalanche also hope that defenseman Patrik Nemeth (upper body) will be able to return during their two-game road trip. He sat out Saturday’s game but practiced Monday and could be cleared for contact on Tuesday.The Blue Jackets opened the season with an overtime road win in Detroit on Thursday before losing their home opener to the Carolina Hurricanes the following night.Now they have to shuffle their lines without Dubinsky, who had a goal and an assist in the first two games while winning 68.8 percent of his faceoffs.“Dubi’s done a lot of work this summer, not only physically but mentally, and he’s dead-on his game,” coach John Tortorella said, according to The Columbus Dispatch. “Now in practice he hurts himself. The guys you pull for are those types of guys. Easy to pull for. You want to see them follow through.”Tortorella told reporters that offseason acquisition Riley Nash will move up to center the third line that includes Josh Anderson and Boone Jenner. Lukas Sedlak will replace Nash on the fourth line.“We just have to figure out how we’re going to play, with or without him,” Tortorella said. “I don’t want to paint a bleak picture; I just want us to get off on the right start in building our identity as a team.”The Blue Jackets filled a roster spot when they activated defenseman Scott Harrington off injured reserve on Monday. Harrington missed the first two games with an upper body injured suffered in the preseason.Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski appears to have avoided a serious lower body injury after a hard fall during the loss to the Hurricanes.“I wasn’t happy with how I played Friday night http://www.officialkings.com/authentic-adidas-jonathan-quick-jersey ,” Werenski said. “I didn’t do anything. I wasn’t really as strong defensively. So, I think having that injury and playing the way I did, it’s kind of good to get it out of the way early this season and hopefully not have too many more of those.” ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Jason Zucker is squarely among the skaters Minnesota needs more production from over the second half of the schedule to return to the playoffs, a responsibility that’s not lost on him or anyone else on the Wild.After a morning meeting of reassurance from coach Bruce Boudreau, lo and behold, Zucker responded with two goals.Zucker gave the lagging power play a lift with his first score and added another just after leaving the penalty box, both in the second period, and the Wild hung on to beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 on Thursday night.“I hate watching you come off the ice looking so down all the time,” Boudreau told Zucker in their conversation. “So it’s time you had a chance to have some fun.”Zucker Nate Thompson Jersey , who was second on the Wild last season with a career-high 33 goals, scored only once over his previous 14 games.“I’ve got to do it consistently now. I can’t be happy with just one game and a couple goals and shut it back down,” said Zucker, who’s tied with Mikael Granlund for third on the team with 12 goals.Jordan Greenway also scored and Devan Dubnyk made 26 saves for the Wild, who have won all three games against the Jets so far this season by a combined 10-5 score after losing to their Central Division rival in five games in the first round of the playoffs last spring.“There’s certainly a good possibility of matching up come playoff time if we get there,” Dubnyk said, “and as much as the regular season doesn’t matter, well, we need these points right now, and it’s always good to have a winning feeling in both arenas.”The Wild blocked 22 shots and won 36 of 55 faceoffs.“Guys are playing well now Authentic Oscar Fantenberg Jersey ,” Greenway said, “and not cheating for offense.”Brandon Tanev gave the Jets some life with his goal in the final minute of the second period, cutting the lead to 3-1. Then, with Connor Hellebuyck having already vacated the net, Mark Scheifele scored with 2:38 remaining in the game to bring the Jets within one. The Wild went without a shot on goal in the third, the first time in franchise history that happened to them at home in any period.“You allow them to take the lead, it just plays right into their game,” Jets captain Blake Wheeler said.The Jets managed just one shot on goal over the first 15-plus minutes of the game, and the Wild actually had a lead to match the effort after Eric Staal fed Greenway from behind the net . This was only the 15th time in 43 games the Wild have scored first. They’re 9-5-1 in those instances.The Wild had only one power-play goal in their previous 23 opportunities, all without defenseman Matt Dumba Tanner Pearson Jersey , who’s still second among NHL blue-liners this season with 12 goals and ruptured the pectoralis muscle near his right shoulder on Dec. 15.Midway through the second period, with a man advantage for the Wild, a turnover led to a short-handed breakaway for the Jets and a snap shot by Adam Lowry that caromed off the left post. The Wild quickly regrouped after the fortunate bounce and went back the other way for Zucker’s score in the waning seconds of Kyle Connor’s tripping penalty.A few minutes later, as he hustled back and forth at the point of the penalty kill and fearlessly blocked shots with his body, Zach Parise snagged the puck at the end of a Jets power play and flipped a lob pass up the ice for a wide-open Zucker who managed to stay onside after he returned to the ice from his hooking penalty. Zucker beat Hellebuyck in the upper-left corner at the end of the breakaway for a 3-0 lead.“We got to our game in the third period and made things a lot difficult for them in their own zone and challenging pucks to the net,” Tanev said. “I think we need to get to that game right away.”NOTESThe Wild won at home for the first time in five tries since Dec. 13. … The Jets were scoreless in four power plays. The Wild have killed 15 of their last 16 penalties at home. … Scheifele tied Patrik Laine for the team lead with his 24th goal. … Wild center Eric Fehr missed his second straight game with an undisclosed injury. … Wild defenseman Spurgeon had two assists, his third multi-point performance in five games this month. … Jets defenseman Tyler Myers left in the third period with an undisclosed injury.UP NEXTJets: Return home to face the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night.Wild: Host the Red Wings on Saturday night.
