Colorado Avalanche Announce Pavel Francouz Is Done For The Season

The Colorado Avalanche have announced that goaltender Pavel Francouz will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season with a lower-body injury as his last appearance came on April 9th, where he stopped 19 of 23 shots in a win over the Anaheim Ducks. Francouz will head back home to the Czech Republic to rehab and be with his family; the 33-year-old netminder will be a UFA at the end of this season. Francouz has spent his entire six-year career with the Avs, where he’s put up a record of 44-21-6 with a 2.49 GAA, .919SV%, and four shutouts.

For Colorado they are currently rolling with a tandem of Alexandar Georgiev and Ivan Prosvetov in net, as Georgi has taken the role as the number one, appearing in 11 games this season and putting up a record of 7-4-1 with a 3.29 GAA .887SV%, and one shutout and the team currently sits in second place in the Central Divison. Prosevtov is 1-1 with a 2.90 GAA and .899SV% in four appearances this season. At the moment Colorado doesn’t have to go out and get another goaltender, as I believe that Georgiev and Prosvetov can hold down the fort for the time being; however, multiple teams are carrying three goaltenders right now, so it wouldn’t be an absolute shock to see them make a move if needed.

Opinion: Oilers’ Stuart Skinner Showing Some Steadiness Between the Pipes

When it comes to Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner, one never knows what they are going to get. On one hand, one might see a version of Skinner, 26, who stands tall, comes up with big saves, does not get out of position, and does not allow soft goals. When this version of Skinner is […]
