Tanguay (knee) will not play Saturday against the Islanders, Adrian Dater of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Tanguay's sore knee left him unable to practice Friday, and he'll miss his fifth consecutive game as a result. Though the knee has caused problems for him all season, the Avalanche don't appear to be concerned about this latest setback, believing he'll be back in the lineup when plays resumes after the break.
