Pickard Looking Forward to Warmer Outdoor Game

The 2016 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series at Coors Field won't be the first time that Colorado Avalanche goaltender Calvin Pickard will have suited up for an outdoor contest.

Pickard took the ice in front of a sold-out crowd at Frontier Field in Rochester, New York, on Dec. 14, 2013, for the Frozen Frontier—the sixth-ever outdoor game in American Hockey League history.

Pickard and the Lake Erie Monsters lit the lamp in the final second of the contest (literally with one second left) to force overtime in a hard-fought battle against the Rochester Americans.
