Jack Skille out for Avalanche with concussion

Patrick Roy is tweaking his lines for The Big Game Saturday night against Winnipeg. On Friday, after an optional practice, he disclosed he was going to reunite Alex Tanguay and Jarome Iginila as linemates, with John Mitchell centering them.

After the morning skate, the Avalanche coach disclosed that another of the changes was due to injury.

Veteran winger Jack Skille, who has been skating on the fourth line with Mitchell and Cody McLeod, suffered a concussion against Dallas Thursday night. "He had an elbow to the head by one of their players," Roy said.

How long will Skille be out?
