Briere (foot) appears unlikely to return over the Avs' final three games of the season, Mike Chambers of the Denver Post reports. Briere hurt his foot while blocking a shot in a March 23 game and hasn't been skating with the team. With the season drawing to a close Saturday, it looks like Briere will run out of time to demonstrate to the coaching staff that he's fully healthy, potentially ending his career on a somber note. Briere will turn 38 in October, and after an unproductive season in which he tallied only 12 points in 55 games, the winger may elect to hang up his skates for good.
