Jean-Sebastien Giguere will play between the pipes on Tuesday against Chicago. Giguere hasn't won a game since Jan. 21, but he'll have a tough time breaking that trend against the hungry Chicago Blackhawks. Chicago is on a five-game losing streak, so look for them to challenge Giguere early on Tuesday.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere saved 27 of 29 shots in regulation in a 3-2 shootout loss Saturday night. Giguere allowed the tying goal with just 35 seconds remaining in the third period and stopped just one of two shots in the shootout. Giguere has now lost four straight games, dropping his record to 12-9-2 this season.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere will start in Saturday's game against Vancouver. Giguere stopped 20 of 21 shots in a 1-0 loss Thursday. Although Semyon Varlamov might get a some more chances to prove himself over the next two months, the starting job is Giguere's to lose.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere turned aside 20 of 21 shots in a 1-0 loss Thursday night. Although Giguere has now lost three starts in a row, his efforts on Thursday should only further establish his place as the Avalanche's top goaltender. We suspect Colorado will go with Giguere again on Saturday as they try and end their losing streak before they fall too far behind in the playoff race.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere will play between the pipes on Thursday. Colorado gave Semyon Varlamov another chance to redeem himself on Tuesday, but he ended up stopping just 20 of 23 shots. Giguere should get the majority of Colorado's starts for the remainder of the season.

Despite stopping 31 shots, Jean-Sebastien Giguere lost his second game in a row as the Colorado Avalanche lost to the Minnesota Wild 3-2. Giguere allowed three goals for the second straight contest. In the grand scheme of things, he's still be surprisingly effective in 2011-12, though.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere will start in Tuesday's contest. It will be Giguere's fourth straight start. Considering that they gave up a first round and a second round pick to get him, we're sure Semyon Varlamov is the goaltender the Avalanche would like to be their starter, but Giguere has outplayed him this season. At this point, Giguere should be regarded as the team's top goaltender.

If it wasn't sort of official before, it is now: Jean-Sebastien Giguere is the No. 1 goalie of the Colorado Avalanche. Giguere started Sunday night in Anaheim, a night after playing against the Kings. He simply has stolen the top job away from Semyon Varlamov with his play. It's a tricky situation with Varlamov going forward. He was supposed to be the man in goal for the Avs, who gave up a first and second round pick to get him.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere was beaten three times on 18 shots as the Avalanche dropped a 3-2 decision to Anaheim Sunday. It wasn't the greatest start for the veteran goaltender, although he has been surprisingly solid all season so he deserves some leash. Having said that, Semyon Varlamov is likely to be between the pipes for the Avs in their next game.

In a slight surprise, the Colorado Avalanche will go with Jean-Sebastien Giguere in net on Sunday. It seemed like the Avs would consider going with Semyon Varlamov since these are back-to-back games, but Joe Sacco instead decided to reward Giguere for his nice win against the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday. Giguere's been surprisingly effective in his first season in Colorado.
