Jean-Sebastien Giguere had a strong performance in net Saturday night against the Los Angeles Kings, allowing only one goal in the Colorado Avalanche's 3-1 win.
Giguere set aside 25 shots in his third straight win, a span in which he's given up five goals. With a 2.06 goals-against average, .925 save percentage and 12-6-1 record on the year, the Avs are at the point now that they should roll with him for awhile as he's simply the more reliable option in net. Semyon Varlamov may be talented, but for a team with legitimate playoff aspirations (they've claimed the eighth spot now), he's been far too inconsistent. The Avs play Anaheim on Sunday, so it will be interesting to see who gets the call.
