Pavel Francouz shines again in win vs. Devils

Philipp Grubauer's been forced to miss Colorado's past few games with a lower-body injury, but that hasn't seemed to slow down the team in the slightest. Most of the credit can go to Francouz ($8,400; 31.4 DKFP), who came up with yet another phenomenal performance in the Avalanche's 3-1 victory over New Jersey on Friday night. The 29-year-old stopped 37 of the 38 shots the Devils were able to put on net, giving Czechoslovakian his fifth win in his past six appearances between the pipes. In fact, for the season, Francouz now owns an impressive .932 save percentage - the fifth-best mark in the NHL. Nathan MacKinnon ($8,200; 24.0 DKFP) supplied the offense with a goal and an assist.
