Avalanche's Calvin Pickard: Commanding crease Saturday
Pickard will start in goal Saturday night against the Canucks, The Denver Post reports.
Analysis:
The Avs are dealing with an upper-body injury to regular starter Semyon Varlamov, who missed practice Friday, so it's no surprise that they'd turn to Pickard (4-1-1, 2.07 GAA) in this next one. After all, the team has yet to call up a goalie from the minors to play second fiddle to Pickard.
