"Avalanche coach Joe Sacco this morning confirmed that Colorado forwards Milan Hejduk and Marek Svatos won't play tonight against the Calgary Flames at the Pepsi Center.

Sacco said of Hejduk: "He's still day to day with a knee." Sacco said he didn't believe the injury was serious, and was hopeful that Hejduk — who played nearly 18 minutes against Tampa Bay on Friday night — would be able to return to the lineup against Washington on Tuesday.

The Avalanche coach also said Svatos was day to day with a groin injury. Svatos of late had been spending a lot of time on the fourth line and playing sparingly; he got 7 minutes, 16 seconds of ice time against the Lightning, but didn't play in the third period and overtime because of the injury."
