The Colorado Avalanche announced today that both goalie Pavel Francouz and forward Andre Burakovsky are day-to-day. They will both miss tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Kings. Neither was given a return date.
Hunter Miska has been called up to backup Philipp Grubauer tonight. Grubauer will make his third start in a row. Erik Johnson will replace Burakovsky, who has an upper-body injury. That means tonight the Avs will dress 11 forwards and 7 defensemen. Francouz has a lower-body injury that was sustained in practice.
Francouz sustained his injury at practice yesterday, and Burakovsky had a nagging injury, Bednar said.
