Francouz battled injuries last season as well, recording a 2.61 GAA and .915 SV% while playing in only 16 games (8-7-1).

Francouz was 8-7-1 with a .915 SV%, and 2.61 GAA in 2022-23 with Colorado but is likely to not be ready for the regular season as he had off-season adductor surgery with serious concern that he could miss "some time". The 33-year-old netminder has had his career decimated by consistent injuries since coming to the NHL in 2018-19 and has never appeared in more than 34 games (2019-20). The Avalanche have made it known that they are in the hunt for a replacement back-up goaltender while Francouz nurses his latest ailment.
Francouz has been out since February 7th due to a lower-body injury and it was announced Friday will miss close to a month. The 32-year-old Avalanche backup has been steady all season, with his 7-7-1 record, .919 SV% and 2.53 GAA.
Francouz has been solid in Colorado's backup role with his 7-7-1 record, 2.53 GAA and .919 SV% this season but is not considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Jonas Johansson has been recalled as his replacement in the meantime.
Francouz allowed four goals on 31 shots (.871 SV%) to snap a four-game winning streak as he was defeated by Anaheim in his previous start. The Avalanche's backup netminder has been solid when called upon yet again this season, with his 7-7-0 record, 2.58 GAA and .917 SV%. He will take on the Pittsburgh Penguins, who have lost three of their last four games after a 6-4 loss to San Jose in their last game.
Francouz stopped 26 of 27 shots (.963 SV%) for his fifth win in six games as he beat Seattle in his previous start. The 32-year-old Avalanche backup has been incredibly solid yet again this season, with his 7-6-0 record, 2.47 GAA and .920 SV%. He will take on the Anaheim Ducks, who beat Arizona 5-2 in their last game but are 31st in goals per game (2.4).

Francouz was perfect, stopping all 29 shots for his first shutout of the season as he won his third start in four tries with a victory over Ottawa last game. The 32-year-old backup started the year slow but has been sensational as of late, with his 5-6-0 record, 2.57 GAA and .919 SV%. He faces the Detroit Red Wings for an afternoon showdown Monday, who lost their last game 4-3 to Columbus and are 20th in the NHL in goals per game (3.1).
Francouz is 4-5-0 with a 2.80 GAA and .913 SV% but has missed the Avalanche's last five games as he dealt with a lower-body injury. Francouz will backup Alexandar Georgiev if he does dress Tuesday.
The move doesn't affect Francouz's status much but opens up a roster spot to recall a forward with Evan Rodrigues missing Monday's game with an upper-body injury. Francouz is still expected to be sidelined on a week-to-week basis.
