Avalanche's Tyson Barrie: Late injury scratch Saturday

Barrie (lower body) will not play Saturday afternoon versus the Jets.

Analysis:

The savvy puck distributor will be a late scratch, and the fear is that he's dealing with the same lower-body ailment that caused him to miss four contests near the end of January. Of course, this may be a blessing in disguise for fantasy owners growing tired of Barrie's poor defensive play -- he owns a minus-27 rating through 44 games, which is currently the league's worst output.
