CALGARY, Alberta--The Colorado Avalanche's top two goaltenders will be available for the club this evening when it takes on the Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Saddledome.
Goaltender Philipp Grubauer has missed the past five games while nursing a lower-body injury and is expected to get the start in net, while Pavel Francouz will be the backup. Francouz has been out for the past two games while in concussion protocol; he got hurt 31 seconds into last Tuesday's contest at the Winnipeg Jets.
While the Avs got two of their seven injured players back, head coach Jared Bednar said that center Pierre-Edouard Bellemare is a bit under the weather and is a game-time decision. Forward Tyson Jost, who missed his first outing of the year on Saturday in Vancouver with an upper-body injury, took to the ice after morning skate in a red, non-contact jersey and won't play this evening.
