Avalanche's Philipp Grubauer: Gets starting nod Thursday

Grubauer will tend the road twine for Thursday's Game 6 against Vegas, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.

Grubauer started strong in the series but has been shaky lately, as he's just 2-3-0 along with a 2.79 GAA and .917 save percentage in the series. The 29-year-old will return to Vegas, where he's surrendered eight goals on 78 shots in the series through two games. The German goaltender will need to provide a strong performance if the Avalanche want to keep their season alive Thursday.
