Grubauer has played against the Bruins three times in his career and owns a 3-0-0 record with a 1.32 goals-against average and .959 save percentage in those outings. The Rosenheim, Germany, native has also won three straight starts, posting a 1.67 goals-against average and .943 save percentage during this stretch.

BOSTON-- Philipp Grubauer will make his 18th start of the season tonight when the Colorado Avalanche takes on the Boston Bruins at TD Garden.

The outing in Boston concludes a three-game, Atlantic Division road swing for the Avs, who are 2-0-0 so far on the trip. The Avalanche is coming off a 3-2 win at the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday and has won five straight outings, matching the team's longest win streak of the season.

Nazem Kadri will miss his second game in a row with a lower-body injury, and Vladislav Kamenev will come back into the lineup after missing the last two outings with an illness. Head coach Jared Bednar said after today's morning skate that Kamenev will play on a line with Tyson Jost and T.J. Tynan.

Matt Calvert will not also be out versus the Bruins as he is on personal leave. Bednar noted that Matt Nieto will take Calvert's spot on a trio with Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and Valeri Nichushkin.

The team's defensive pairings will be the same as they were in Colorado's 3-2 win at Montreal on Thursday.

Below is the Avalanche's projected lineup. All forward combinations and defensive pairings are subject to change.
