Lehner will defend the cage against Colorado on Thursday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lehner has been rather inconsistent of late as he has gone 3-3-0 in his last six outings which includes a shutout as well as a pair of four-goal nights. The fiery goaltender has been scrutinized for losing his head of late, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Avs crashing the net in an attempt to throw him off his game. Colorado have the league's worst offense at just 2.02 goals per game, which should give Lehner the edge if he avoid going off the rails.
