Berra (neck) will be scratched for Saturday's game against the Canadiens, Mike Chambers of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Calvin Pickard will be between the pipes Saturday. The Avalanche are still labeling Berra's injury as a day-to-day concern, but he was limited to off-ice work at Saturday's morning skate. It's too early to say whether or not he'll be available for the Avs' next tilt with the Panthers on Tuesday, but with Semyon Varlamov (groin) likely to return to action later next week, it appears Berra won't be healthy enough to take full advantage of his temporary run as the team's No. 1 starter.
