Remains sidelined Englund (hamstring) won't be in the lineup Thursday versus Washington, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Despite joining the Blackhawks in D.C., Englund will miss a seventh straight game with his hamstring injury Thursday. The 27-year-old defender has collected just three points through 41 games split between the Avalanche and Chicago this season, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to track his status.

Impact Given the expected length of his absence, it wouldn't be surprising to see Englund end up on injured reserve in the coming days. Either way, the 27-year-old blueliner has collected only three assists in 41 games split between Colorado and Chicago this season, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to track his availability.

Impact The Avalanche are dealing with three injuries on the back end, as Johnson joined injured mates Cale Makar (head) and Josh Manson (lower body).

Makar will also miss Saturday's contest against Florida, so Englund and his hit machine (86 hits in 29 games) should be in the lineup again.
