Avalanche's Calvin Pickard: Scheduled between pipes Sunday

Pickard will start in goal Sunday afternoon against host Winnipeg, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Pickard has losses in each of his past three outings, but his next draw against a Jets team ranking 23rd in the league at 2.97 goals per game could be tougher. One would think that Colorado's tenders would benefit from the skaters collectively winning faceoffs at the second-highest rate in the league, but it hasn't led to enough support as there are only three teams scoring less than the Avs this season. You'll have to take the good with the bad when it comes to Pick.
