Brandon Saad Won't Play On Wednesday
4 years agoColorado Avalanche winger Brandon Saad (personal) is out for Wednesday's meeting with the Wild. Matt Calvert is set to be his replacement on the second line. Saad and his wife are expecting a baby, so his absence won't be a long-term thing. The former Blackhawk has four goals and 10 points in 15 outings this season with 21 shots and a minus-two rating. He's been in a bit of a slump lately, finishing pointless in four of five games this month, so maybe the break will do him good. Calvert sits on one point through eight games and doesn't have any fantasy value in season-long formats, but could have some DFS appeal as a cheap top-six forward.
