Colorado's Calvin Pickard will man the net versus Pittsburgh

The Colorado Avalanche are starting Calvin Pickard in goal on Thursday versus the Pittsburgh Penguins.

What It Means:

Despite a long season for the NHL's worst team, Pickard has been sterling the last two games. He is coming off a 27-save shutout of the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday and has actually won two starts in a row. Unfortunately, he will have a tough time making it three straight as he faces the NHL's best offense in the Penguins on Thursday.

Our models project Pickard for 2.7 goals allowed, 27.4 saves and a 41.0 percent chance of winning on Thursday. He is numberFire's 15th-ranked goalie on the 11-game slate.
