Avalanche's Calvin Pickard: Will start Monday

Pickard led the team onto the ice for pregame warmups and thus will start Monday's game against the Flames.

Analysis:

Pickard has been absolutely terrible lately, giving up 12 goals over his last three starts -- all of which were losses. The Avs have nothing left to play for except pride at this point, while the Flames are gunning to clinch a playoff spot (and are 7-3-0 in their last 10), so it'd probably be wise to avoid Pickard if at all possible. Also, Colorado is a seemingly unfathomable 9-27-1 on the road this year, which is another strike against Pickard on Monday.
