Pavel Francouz has been suffering from a lower-body injury that has kept him from playing so far this season. Now, head coach Jared Bednar is hesitant as to whether or not he will return, as he is reportedly not even close.
Francouz is suffering from a groin injury with no timeline for return.
While Francouz isn't the main starter for the Avalanche, having a dependable backup is a crucial component for making a deep run in the playoffs. The Avalanche know this themselves, as Francouz was there for their run in 2022.
For now, the Avalanche will keep their hopes up that Francouz will make a return.
