Samuel Girard Still Out Versus Carolina
2 years agoColorado Avalanche defenseman Samuel Girard (lower body) will miss a fourth consecutive game Thursday against Carolina. He has been listed as day-to-day since dropping out of the lineup, but the 24-year-old is struggling to shake off a lower-body problem. Girard has been able to get four points in 11 games this season, adding 15 shots, seven blocks and nine hits to his account. The defending champions have a bit of a blue-line crisis going on right now, with Bowen Byram (lower body) and Kurtis MacDermid (lower body) also unavailable. It's pushed Jacob MacDonald to the second defensive pairing and Andreas Englund has received a promotion from the minors.
