Forget for a moment that after getting first-period goals from
Matt Hendricks and Matt Duchene, the Avalanche blew a 2-0 lead and
ended up losing 3-2 to the Minnesota Wild in a shootout Saturday
night at the Pepsi Center.
Colorado, which fell to 14-8-5 for the season and two points
behind Calgary in the Northwest Division, got worse news about 45
minutes after the game ended, well after Avalanche coach Joe Sacco
and the players had talked to the media and, in most cases, left
the building.
Winger David Jones, injured when Minnesota's Chuck Kobasew fell
into him near the Colorado blue line with 5:09 remaining in
regulation, was diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in
his left knee.
The initial prognosis was that he would require surgery and be out
for four to six months, and anything but the short end of that
scale means he is out at least the remainder of the regular season.
