Adam Foote

Adam Foote (Doug Pensinger)

It has been announced that defenseman Adam Foote will not play Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings due to a concussion he sustained Thursday against the Sharks. It has not been determined how much time Foote will miss, but concussions are always tricky in the sports world.

Another Avalanche player, Peter Mueller, has been out since the beginning of the season due to a concussion and has yet to step on the ice since the injury. A little bit of good news for Colorado is that David Jones will play Saturday night after missing last nights game with an arm injury.

As of this posting Colorado has not recalled a defenseman from Lake Erie.
