Avalanche Netminder Anderson Misses Practice With Pulled Groin

Bad news for the Colorado Avalanche. According to the Denver Post, netminder Craig Anderson missed practice Tuesday with a groin injury.

Officially, the team is saying the injury is "minor", and they expect Anderson to practice tomorrow. Of course, there is always great concern when talking about a goalie's with groin injuries as they tend to linger and cause problems throughout the year (see: Roberto Luongo last year).

Anderson was sensational in the Avalanche's first two wins, posting .973 save percentage and a shutout against Vancouver. Were Anderson to miss significant time, enigmatic backup Peter Budaj would get the nod.
