Set for extended absence Frnacouz (lower body) is expected to miss multiple weeks, Avalanche freelance writer Adrian Dater reports.

Impact Francouz was hurt before Saturday's game versus the Panthers, and now his absence will keep him out likely for the rest of February at a minimum. This likely means a heavy workload is on the way for Alexandar Georgiev, as Jonas Johansson's numbers in his NHL career are not impressive and could hurt the Avalanche's push to obtain and keep a playoff spot.

Won't suit up Tuesday Francouz (lower body) won't be in the lineup Tuesday against Tampa Bay, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Dealing with lower-body issue Francouz won't practice Monday due to a lower-body injury, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Impact Francouz was a late scratch ahead of Saturday's clash with the Panthers likely due to this lower-body problem. In his last six contests, the backup netminder went 3-2-1 with a 2.14 GAA and .929 save percentage. With Francouz on the shelf, the Avs recalled Jonas Johansson, who will likely be pressed into service against the Lightning or Wild on Tuesday or Wednesday, respectively, though Francouz hasn't been officially ruled out.

Francouz falls to 7-7-1 with a .919 save percentage on the season.
