Hellebuyck will guard the home goal Friday versus the Avalanche, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellebuyck has taken a couple of hard-luck losses, allowing five goals on 72 shots in his last two games against the Kings and Red Wings. The 28-year-old will have a big challenge on his hands Friday, as the Avalanche boast one of the league's most powerful offenses even with Gabriel Landeskog (knee) and Nazem Kadri (upper body) sidelined.
