Avalanche's Calvin Pickard: Picked to start again Tuesday

Pickard will face pucks from the visiting Kings on Tuesday night.

Analysis:

Despite just one win in his last three starts, Pickard has actually looked very solid, posting an excellent .941 save percentage over that span. The problem is the lack of offensive support he receives from the team in front of him, as well as the sheer volume of shots he faces on a given night -- he's seen at least 29 shots on goal in each of his last six starts. He'll try to get it going against a Los Angeles team that he hasn't played yet this season, but sports a 1-1-0 record against in his career.
