J.S. Giguere to start Friday's game in Phoenix #Avs
Giguere allowed three goals on 32 shots in a win over the Blues on Sunday. He will face the Coyotes tomorrow in what will be the Avs second last game of the season. It is a good matchup but if you have to play Giguere in the finals... How did you make the finals?
Giguere is 2-0 after ripping his teammates for losing focus at the end of a lost season. He owns a 2.64 GAA in limited action this year, and has a relatively tough matchup tonight again the surprising Bob and the Blue Jackets.
Giguere stopped all 12 shots that he faced in a relief effort last night. He will face the Canucks for the second time this season tomorrow. In the first start he allowed three goals in a losing effort. It is a tough matchup, I would look elsewhere.
Sami Aittokallio called up from LEM to replace Varlamov on 2-game trip to SoCal. Aittokallio to serve as Giguere's backup. #Avalanche
With Varly out, Giguere goes again. He called out his teammates after a 3-1 loss to the Flames on April 8th, and things don't get any easier with a matchup against the Ducks.
JS Giguere in net for #Avs against Red Wings tomorrow
Giguere allowed two goals on 37 shots in a losing effort vs. the Predators on Tuesday. He is 0-1-0 with a 1.39 GAA and .950 SV% vs. the Red Wings this season.
Goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere is scheduled to get a rare start Saturday against the Minnesota Wild.
This will be Giguere's first start since March 5th. He is 2-1-1 with a 2.69 GAA and .918 SV% this season. He has a tough matchup vs. the Wild so I would look elsewhere for a spot start.
J.S. Giguere rejoins #Avs in Detroit and will start Tue vs Red Wings.
The Avalanche have back-to-back games on Tuesday and Wednesday. Giguere will get the easier of the two matchups as he will take on the Red WIngs on Tuesday and Varlamov will face Chicago. Giguere is 2-0-1 with a 2.87 GAA and .912 SV% this season.
JS Giguere is expected to get the start in net tomorrow vs. the Wild.
This will be Giguere's second start of the season. He was victorious in his first start but the Avalanche weren't quite as depleted by injuries as they are now. Giguere isn't a great fantasy option because of the sheer volume of starts Varlamov will see this season. He also doesn't make for a good spot-start vs. the WIld. Look elsewhere.
