Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Headed for healthy scratch

Kiviranta (illness) is expected to be a healthy scratch against Columbus on Monday, per NHL.com.

Kiviranta had missed two games due to illness but wasn't playing regularly prior to getting sick. The 28-year-old winger's last outing came March 13 against Vancouver -- a game in which he logged 13:01 of ice time while notching one shot on goal, one hit and two PIM. Without a clear path to more minutes, Kiviranta is a non-factor in fantasy down the stretch.
