Scrimmaging during this year's training camp is crucial to get the Colorado Avalanche players into game situations before the season begins, but the simulated contests are especially important for the club's goaltenders.
With no preseason outings this year for the Colorado keepers to face random shots and get their timing right, Philipp Grubauer and Pavel Francouz are trying to get up to speed as quickly as possible in scrimmages before the real thing ensues on Wednesday versus the St. Louis Blues.
