Avalanche's Calvin Pickard: Unable to finish second period versus Wild

Pickard was chased from Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Wild on Sunday, as he allowed four goals on 16 shots in a little over one period of play.

Analysis:

After his best game in months Friday versus the Blues, Pickard and the Avalanche looked terrible. The 24-year-old continues to take his lumps and has been chased from a game twice in the last month. He leads the league with 29 losses and owns a 2.95 GAA. It's better to look elsewhere for goaltender help on the waiver wire.
