Avalanche's Calvin Pickard: Draws start Saturday in Minnesota

Pickard will man the net for Saturday's road matchup against the Wild, Terry Frei of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Pickard has played the role of worthy backup well this year but is coming off an ugly loss to the Coyotes last time out. He's had four starts off to regain his form and will look to do so against a Minnesota team that is scoring a middle-of-the-road 2.63 goals per game.
