Swayman will be in the home crease versus Colorado on Saturday, according to Joe MacDonald of The Hockey News.
Swayman will return to the lineup after missing Thursday's 2-0 win over Ottawa because of an upper-body injury. He is 15-16-4 with a 3.00 GAA and an .896 save percentage. The Avalanche will have newly acquired forwards Martin Necas and Jack Drury in the lineup following Friday's trade with Carolina. Colorado ranks eighth in the league with 3.29 goals per game in 2024-25.
