Avalanche's Calvin Pickard: Will start Saturday

Pickard will be between the pipes for Saturday's home game against Winnipeg.

Analysis:

With a .903 save percentage and 3.10 GAA, the 24-year-old has fallen short of expectations. He improved slightly in January -- with a .912 save percentage in six games -- but even that output isn't the greatest. The Jets rank eighth in the league with 2.91 goals per game, so Pickard will need to play a composed game and act as the team's best penalty killer, should the need arise.
