Tanguay (knee) will not play Saturday against the Sabres, Mike Chambers of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

With Tanguay's knee issues flaring up just a week after he returned from a lengthy absence, the Avalanche won't take any chances in risking further injury Saturday. There's been no word yet regarding the severity of the setback for Tanguay. P.A. Parenteau will take his spot in Saturday's lineup.
