The Colorado Avalanche want to build on their last game. The Boston Bruins want to flush their latest effort.

Colorado finished a quick two-game road trip with a 4-1 win at Columbus on Thursday night and makes a brief stop at home to host the Bruins on Saturday night before hitting the road again. This is the first of two games between the teams in the span of seven days.

The Avalanche, who have started the season earning points in all five games and only losing once in a shootout, travel to Boston on Oct. 25 to finish the season series.

Colorado has been without top goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood, though he could return Saturday after his AHL conditioning stint was ended Friday. Scott Wedgewood has started all five games in his absence and posted a 1.58 goals-against average.
