After injuring himself in Game 1, Phillip Grubaeur is presumably out for the foreseeable future. Jared Bednar and the Colorado Avalanche will instead have to rely on backup goaltender Pavel Francouz, who filled in admirably for Grubauer when he was injured prior to the pause:
“It was like having another starter when ‘Gruby’ went out... He’s an easy guy to like, our guys play hard for him, he’s always been a hard worker and holds himself to a high standard. He’s a real good evaluator of his game and he’ll do anything he can to help us win.
