Unfortunately, much of the depth from that Cup winning year has departed, and now, with more injury issues, it becomes that much tougher, especially if they can't figure out the goaltending situation.
A big loss
According to a report, Pavel Francouz will now miss a significant portion of the season, as he is yet to fully recover from adductor surgery that he had over the summer.
#Avs appear to be examining options on the goalie market. Sounds like Pavel Francouz has not completely recovered from his offseason adductor surgery and there is concern he will miss some time.
