REPORT: Cup Champion Goaltender In Danger Of Losing Season
This previous Stanley Cup Champion-winning goaltender has been suffering from an injury, and his coach has yet to say if he will be out for the season.
Avelanche Hesitant to Rule Out Francouz for the Season
Pavel Francouz has been suffering from a lower-body injury that has kept him from playing so far this season. Now, head coach Jared Bednar is hesitant as to whether or not he will return, as he is reportedly not even close.
#Avs Jared Bednar didn't rule out the possibility that Pavel Francouz' injury is season ending. It sounds like they're unsure if or when he'll be back.
"He's out until I get notice that he's even close to coming back."
Francouz is suffering from a groin injury with no timeline for return.
Backup Goaltending Essential for Potential Cup Run
While Francouz isn't the main starter for the Avalanche, having a dependable backup is a crucial component for making a deep run in the playoffs. The Avalanche know this themselves, as Francouz was there for their run in 2022.
Pavel Francouz brought the Cup to Pilsen on the US historic jeep as a message to the Pilsen's liberation from 1945..👌
For now, the Avalanche will keep their hopes up that Francouz will make a return.
