Avalanche's Calvin Pickard: Loses again Wednesday

Pickard allowed four goals on 34 shots in a 5-3 loss to the visiting Capitals on Wednesday.

Analysis:

There's really not much to see here, other than Pickard's fifth loss in a row and seventh in his last eight starts. It's not all his fault, of course, since the Avs have been in the league's basement for most of the season, but Pickard's 3.17 GAA and .893 save percentage over that eight-game span leave a ton of room for improvement. All told, the New Brunswick native is a dismal 13-28-3 with a 2.94 GAA and .906 save percentage -- ratios that should inevitably improve once he has a better supporting cast.
