Martin Necas Cleared to Play Tuesday Against Predators Despite Illness

Colorado Avalanche forward Martin Necas (illness) is confirmed to be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Predators. Despite feeling under the weather earlier in the day, Necas will assume his usual top-line role and a spot on the first power-play unit. His presence in the lineup will delay the return of Gavin Brindley, who is recovering from a lower-body injury.
