Avalanche "backup" goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere will get his third consecutive start tonight at home against the San Jose Sharks.
Giguere has been a superb backup so far this season and gives the Avalanche much-added stability and veteran experience in both the regular season and playoffs. "He's played very well the past two games and deserves to get back in there," Avs coach Joe Sacco said. Although we don't expect Giguere to steal the starting job from Semyon Varlamov, Giggy has an outside chance of becoming the Avalanche's starter later in the season if the Russian netminder continues to struggle. It's a situation worth monitoring. Giguere is now worth a look in 14-team leagues.
