While the Avalanche having a good start, good times couldn’t last forever as Avalanche backup Peter Budaj has been diagnosed with swine flu. From the Denver Post:

Budaj has not played in a game yet for the Avalanche and the Avalanche should not really miss Budaj for the time being. Craig Anderson, the Avalanche starting goaltender, has posted an 8-1-2 record with a 2.14 GAA and .940 SV%.
