Avalanche's Calvin Pickard: Stops 25 in loss Tuesday

Pickard stopped 25 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Blues.

Analysis:

This game was tied 1-1 heading into the third period, but Pickard gave up two goals in the first half of the final frame and his team was never able to recover. He has just one win in his past five starts, which is to be expected of a goalie whose last-place team sits 20 points behind the second-worst record in the NHL.
