Pavel Francouz will be between the pipes for the Colorado Avalanche tonight against the Calgary Flames.
It will be the third straight game Francouz has appeared in after he made 38 saves at the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday and stopped all 16 shots in relief of an injured Philipp Grubauer at the Boston Bruins on Saturday. Grubauer is day-to-day with a lower-body injury but participated in Colorado's skate this morning.
Francouz ranks fifth in the NHL with a .931 save percentage and is seventh in goals-against average (2.24). He has won his last five decisions, going 5-0-0 with a 1.88 goals-against average and .941 save percentage during the stretch.
