| | | COLORADO: LAST SEASON: 52-22-8, 112 points. Won the Central Division. Lost to Minnesota 4-3 in first round of playoffs.
COACH: Patrick Roy, 2nd season with Colorado, 52-22-8; 2nd overall in NHL.
ADDED: RW Jarome Iginla, D Brad Stuart, C Daniel Briere, C Jesse Winchester.
LOST: RW P.A. Parenteau, F Paul Stastny, G Jean-Sebastien Giguere, D Andre Benoit, D Cory Sarich.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Nathan MacKinnon. As hard as this may be to believe, the speedy 19-year-old may have even gotten faster in the offseason working out with the likes of Matt Duchene and Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby. MacKinnon was the league's rookie of the year in 2013-14 after scoring 24 goals and dishing out 39 assists. Roy isn't concerned with a sophomore jinx with MacKinnon, saying, ''I think Nate's going to do a very good job this year despite the way people think about a second-year player.''
OUTLOOK: The Avalanche surprised the hockey world by winning the Central Division in Roy's first season. Now, Roy's eager to see his squad take the next step, which is to go even deeper into the postseason. The team added more veteran leadership by signing Iginla, along with trading for Briere and Stuart. They also have Alex Tanguay back after he missed most of the season with knee and hip injuries. Colorado boasts two formidable lines that will include some combination of Matt Duchene, Ryan O'Reilly, captain Gabe Landeskog, Iginla, Tanguay and MacKinnon. Roy is still tinkering to find the best pairings. | | COLUMBUS: LAST SEASON: 43-32-7, 93 points. Eliminated in first round of playoffs by Pittsburgh in 6 games.
COACH: Todd Richards, fourth season with the Blue Jackets, 85-70-16; 5th overall in NHL.
ADDED: LW Scott Hartnell, RW Jerry D'Amigo, RW Brian Gibbons.
LOST: LW R.J. Umberger, C Derek MacKenzie, RW Jack Skille.
PLAYER TO WATCH: C Brandon Dubinsky. With two of the team's top centers unavailable (Ryan Johansen, holdout; Boone Jenner, broken hand), the fiery 28-year-old's role only grows bigger. He was already the heart and soul of a team that doesn't have an official captain, even though he would seem the likely choice. Coming off a year in which he had 16 goals and 34 assists and continually came up big late in games, he'll be counted on to provide even more points and leadership.
OUTLOOK: If the contract dispute between Johansen and the club isn't resolved soon, and with Jenner and Nathan Horton (bad back) out for the foreseeable future, the Blue Jackets may have to win a lot of 1-0 and 2-1 games in which G Sergei Bobrovsky stands on his head. Also, several young players (most likely Alexander Wennberg and Simon Hjalmarsson) may have to be gangbusters right from the outset to kill time until the club's at full strength. |

*Avalanche-Blue Jackets Preview* ================================
By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer
Colorado (28-25-11) at Columbus (26-33-4), 7:00 p.m. EDT
Nathan MacKinnon's strong rookie campaign helped the Colorado Avalanche make a surprising run to the Central Division title in 2013-14.
This season won't end nearly the same way.
After learning MacKinnon will be out for the rest of the season, Colorado begins a back-to-back road set Saturday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
MacKinnon's 63 points matched Carolina's Jeff Skinner (2010-11) for the most in a rookie season since Chicago's Patrick Kane (72) and Washington's Nicklas Backstrom (69) in 2007-08.
He won the Calder Trophy as the Avalanche won their first division crown in 10 seasons, but they haven't been nearly as good in 2014-15 and sit nine points back of Winnipeg for the Western Conference's final wild-card spot.
MacKinnon, who has 14 goals and 24 assists, scored in Wednesday's 3-1 home win over Pittsburgh before taking a shot off the foot. He arrived for practice the next day complaining of pain, and an MRI showed a broken bone.
This will be the first game MacKinnon misses in his career.
"Obviously, it's never good news when you're losing a player like Nate, especially at a key moment in our season," coach Patrick Roy said.
Roy indicated he could shuffle his lines with MacKinnon out. Captain Gabriel Landeskog said the club is trying to move forward to the weekend as the Avalanche (28-25-11) visit Minnesota on Sunday after facing the Blue Jackets (27-33-4).
"Things might change, but it doesn't change our mindset at all," said Landeskog, who had a goal and two assists Wednesday and has scored in seven of his last 10. "It's a great opportunity to pick up some points. Road games, that's always an opportunity to build that team morale and come together as a group."
Landeskog had a goal in the first meeting with Columbus on Jan. 4, but David Savard scored with 1:01 remaining to give the Blue Jackets a 4-3 win. Brandon Dubinsky scored twice for the Jackets, and he had a goal and an assist in Friday's 3-2 win over New Jersey that snapped a seven-game losing streak.
Dubinsky missed the previous three with a concussion.
"It was a little bit of a worry, a scary experience for me," Dubinsky said. "I'm just happy to get back playing. It's been a tough season for me. It felt good to be back out there."
Defenseman Justin Falk had a goal and an assist in his second game since being acquired from Minnesota on Monday before the trade deadline. Sergei Bobrovsky made 19 saves for Columbus, which now looks to snap a four-game home skid.
"It's a fresh start for me," Falk said. "I feel more comfortable with my new teammates. I just have to go out there and play and not worry about things."
Backup Curtis McElhinney could start the second of the back-to-back. He's 0-4-1 with a 2.99 goals-against average over his last five starts, most recently falling 5-3 to Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Semyon Varlamov has made 20 straight starts for Colorado, but it's unclear if he'll get the nod in this contest or in Minnesota. Varlamov lost the first meeting after going 3-0-1 with a 1.70 GAA in his previous four starts against the Blue Jackets.
The Avalanche are 6-1-1 in their last eight trips to Columbus.
