Avalanche's Calvin Pickard: Takes step back in loss to Arizona

Pickard gave up four goals on 25 shots in Tuesday's loss to the Coyotes.

Analysis:

He had a prime opportunity against a not-good team to win playing time away from the struggling Semyon Varlamov, but Pickard instead played his worst game in goal this season. It thus seems likely that the Avs will turn back to their current No. 1 netminder for Friday's tilt against Winnipeg.
