## Resource

The Colorado Avalanche are one win away from a series sweep of the Los Angeles Kings, but the biggest story heading into Game 4 is Josh Manson’s injury, with NHL.com reporting he is unlikely to play after missing practice and Nick Blankenburg projected to step in. Ross Colton also appears in line for another opportunity after Jared Bednar said he gave Colorado a needed spark, while the latest projected scratches point to Joel Kiviranta and Zakhar Bardakov as the Avs look for more offense in this tight, low-scoring playoff series. In this DNVR Sports inside playoff practice report, get the latest Colorado Avalanche updates on Josh Manson, Ross Colton, likely lineup changes, Nick Blankenburg’s possible playoff debut, and whether the Avs’ scoring problem could decide Game 4 against the LA Kings. Bailey Curtis goes inside Colorado Avalanche practice for the latest news, updates, and more.
