Jean-Sebastien Giguere will play between the pipes on Friday. Giguere has a 0.75 GAA and .977 save percentage in four starts this season. His hot start is probably why Giguere has already been penciled in for an upcoming start despite the fact that Colorado's schedule is reasonably spread out right now.

J.S. Giguere made 29 saves in Colorado's 4-1 victory versus the Canadiens on Saturday night. Patrick Roy also gets a win in his first game as a coach against a team he used to backstop. The Avalanche are 12-1-0 on the season with all facets of their game clicking, all the way down to the backup netminder. Giguere is 4-0-0 with a 0.75 goals-against average and .977 save percentage.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere will play between the pipes on Saturday. Giguere has been fantastic this season, with a 0.67 GAA, .981 save percentage, and two shutouts in three starts. The main reason he hasn't played more is because starting goaltender Semyon Varlamov has also been dominant so far this season.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere blocked all 34 shots he faced on Monday night as the Colorado Avalanche defeated Pittsburgh by a score of 1-0. The Avs were soundly outplayed in this contest, but the strong play of their goaltender allowed them to steal away a victory. Since this was a planned absence for starter Semyon Varlamov, look for Giguere to be on the bench for Colorado's next game despite the strong performance.

The Colorado Avalanche will send Jean-Sebastien Giguere out against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday, keeping Semyon Varlamov fresh. Varlamov's hot start has obscured a great beginning to 2013-14 for "Jiggy" too. The veteran netminder is 2-0-0 with a .971 save percentage, 1.00 GAA and shutout. He's in a contract year and is worth monitoring for quick add/drops on days like Monday.

Goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere recorded a first-rate effort to help the Colorado Avalanche beat the Sabres 4-2 in Buffalo Saturday night. Giguere steered aside 28 shots. His save percentage has improved to .933.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere will get the start Saturday against Buffalo. Semyon Varlamov lost his first game of the year this week which allows Avs' coach Patrick Roy to justify starting Giggy.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped all 39 shots he faced in an excellent shutout victory over Boston Thursday night. This was Giguere's first action of the season, but it's clear that coach Patrick Roy has the magic touch, as Semyon Varlamov has also been exceptional thus far.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere will play between the pipes on Thursday. It will be Giguere's first start after Semyon Varlamov had three great outings in a row. Regardless of whether or not Varlamov can build off of his hot start, Giguere isn't a significant threat to ascend from the backup role in Colorado.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere is projected to make his first start of the season on Thursday when Colorado visits Boston. Giguere posted a 5-4-4 record with a .908 save percentage and a 2.84 goals-against average in 18 appearances last season. The Avalanche plan to go with Semyon Varlamov against the Maple Leafs Tuesday and Washington Saturday as part of their three-game road trip. Adjust your lineup accordingly.
