Avalanche's Fedor Tyutin: Out Saturday against Florida

Tyutin (groin) won't be in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Panthers, Mike Chambers of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Tyutin has had a nice start to the season, notching two assists over four games, but still isn't a viable option in the majority of season-long formats. Colorado doesn't play again until Friday against Winnipeg after Saturday's tilt, which should give Tyutin plenty of time to recover as long as he isn't dealing with a serious groin injury. In the meantime, Eric Gelinas will slot into Tyutin's spot in the Avalanche's lineup against the Panthers.
