Jean-Sebastien Giguere made all 24 saves in the Colorado Avalanche's 3-0 win over the Dallas Stars. Giguere may be on the downside of his career, but he is still a capable goaltender. Semyon Varlamov started off great, but has quickly regressed. Giguere will hold the fort until Varlamov can get his game back on track, so he is a solid option in net for the time being.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere will play between the pipes on Friday. Giguere is being rewarded for stopping 17 of 18 shots in a 1-0 loss to Minnesota on Thursday. Starting goaltender Semyon Varlamov has a terrible 3.30 GAA and .890 save percentage in 14 starts, so Giguere might have a chance to steal a significant amount of playing time away from him.

Coach Joe Sacco has not decided who will get the start in goal on Friday against the Stars. Jean-Sebastien Giguere started on Thursday and gave up only one goal on 18 shots so Sacco may go back to him instead of Semyon Varlamov who has struggled of late. Stay tuned.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere allowed one goal on 18 shots in Colorado's 1-0 loss to the Wild Thursday night. 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. Although we don't expect Giguere to steal the starting job from Semyon Varlamov, he has an outside chance of becoming the Avalanche's starter later in the season if the Russian netminder continues to falters. It's a situation worth monitoring.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere will get the nod on Thursday against the Minnesota Wild. Giguere owns a 3-1-0 record with a .920 save percentage and a 2.18 goals-against average in five appearances this campaign with the Avalanche. Adjust your goalies accordingly.

Earning the start in place of Semyon Varlamov, Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 30 saves in Colorado's overtime win against the Islanders on Thursday night.

Giguere has been very steady in a back-up role this season, and remains a quality handcuff for the young Russian.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere will play between the pipes on Thursday. Semyon Varlamov allowed three goals on 16 shots on Tuesday before Giguere replaced him. Giguere turned aside 12 of 13 shots in the losing effort. Varlamov got off to a good start this season, but he now has a 4.29 GAA and .842 save percentage in four games. Although we don't expect Giguere to steal the starting job, he has been a superb backup so far this season.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere is expected to get the start in goal for Colorado Friday. Giguere is the backup this season to Semyon Varlamov and will likely only get starts in back-to-back games or unless there is an injury. He is a good handcuff for Varlamov at this time at best.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere turned aside 31 of 34 shots in a 4-2 loss to Calgary on Wednesday. The Flames outshot the Avalanche 21-5 in the first period, but the score was just 1-1 after 20 minutes.
