Kings' Peter Budaj: Expected starter Tuesday

Budaj was the first off the ice at morning skate and is expected to make a road start against Colorado on Tuesday, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.

Analysis:

Budaj has lost five of his last six decisions, recording a brutal .867 save percentage and 3.57 GAA in that span. However, the Kings draw a favorable matchup with the Avalanche, who are last in the league in goals per game (2.0) and 29th in power-play percentage (14.3 percent).
