Alex Tanguay (knee) may be another two weeks away from returning. Coach Patrick Roy said that Tanguay might not be available until about Dec. 9. He has been sidelined since Nov. 2 because of a knee injury.

Alex Tanguay is out indefinitely with a knee injury, according to coach Patrick Roy. Roy didn't go into detail about the situation, but he isn't sure when Tanguay will be back. A decision regarding surgery could have something to do with this, but until an update from the team is announced, we are in the dark. Tanguay hasn't played since Nov. 2 and was originally listed as day-to-day.

Doctors will determine if Alex Tanguay needs knee surgery in the next few days. The Avalanche are hopeful that Tanguay won't require a procedure. He was injured back on Nov. 2 against Montreal. A clearer picture of his timetable should be known after the doctors make a decision.

Alex Tanguay will miss at least two weeks due to a knee injury. After that, he will be re-evaluated again. Defenseman Nick Holden will be used as an emergency forward for now, while Tanguay is sidelined so the team won't recall a replacement up front from the minors. He has nine points and a plus-8 rating in 13 games this campaign.

Alex Tanguay left Saturday night's game against Montreal with a knee injury. It is not clear how severe this injury is but it was enough to force him from the game in the second period. Tanguay is scheduled to have an MRI Sunday to determine the extent of the injury. Cross your fingers Tanguay owners.

Alex Tanguay scored twice in Colorado's 5-1 win against Washington on Saturday. Tanguay has three assists and five points in five games this season. He's likely to slow down as the campaign goes on, but he should surpass the 50-point mark.

Alex Tanguay contributed three helpers in Colorado's blowout win over Anaheim Wednesday night. Two of his assists came when the Avalanche were up a man and he ended up with 3:12 of power-play time in the contest. He didn't have a shot on goal in the game, but fantasy owners will definitely be happy with his production.

Alex Tanguay is excited as he prepares for the start of the regular season and his second stint with the Colorado Avalanche. Tanguay spent his first six NHL seasons with Colorado and played a key role in their 2001 Stanley Cup championship. The Avalanche are a rebuilding team right now, but Tanguay remains optimistic. "With the talent we have up front, we have the ability to bring excitement to this city, to this franchise, again," Tanguay said. He should surpass the 50-point mark in 2013-14, provided that he stays healthy.

Alex Tanguay thinks he is capable of more than he's accomplished thus far. "I haven't had my best year yet in the NHL, I really feel that," Tanguay said. "I have a big chip on my shoulder about that, I realize. I feel I can still perform, and I'm so happy to be back in Denver where I have so many great memories." Tanguay had some of his best seasons with the Avalanche, but he hasn't played for the franchise since 2005-06. Tanguay should put up solid numbers as a top-six forward in Colorado, but we're not expecting him to set any new career-highs in his mid-30s.

Alex Tanguay has been traded to the Colorado Avalanche, along with defenseman Cory Sarich, in exchange for winger David Jones and blueliner Shane O'Brien. Tanguay, who was originally taken by the Avalanche in the first round of the 1998 draft, registered 11 goals and 27 points in 40 games with the Flames this past season. He will be united with former teammate Patrick Roy, who will serve as his new head coach. Tanguay should serve as a playmaking threat in Colorado's top-six forward group.
