Play finally stopped when Valeri Nichushkin scored for Colorado with 2:35 left in the period. He was replaced by backup Pavel Francouz, although Grubauer returned to the bench in full gear in the second period. Grubauer, 28, missed two-plus weeks in November with a lower-body injury, believed to be a groin issue. Grubauer entered Saturday with a 10-5-2 record, 2.75 goals-against average and .916 save percentage in 17 games (all starts) this season. He entered the game with 28 points (eight goals), tied for second-most among NHL defensemen, in 28 games this season.
