Player Notes

July 25, 2008
Colorado signed Marek Svatos to a two-year deal worth $4.1 million, according to the Rocky Mountain News. The Avalanche avoided a scheduled arbitration hearing by signing him. Francois Giguere said, "Marek Svatos has been a key ingredient to our success the last few years. Hes scored many big goals for this club and we expect him to be a strong force for us again this season."

An exam has revealed that Marek Svatos has a torn ACL in his left knee. He will require surgery and be sidelined for the rest of the season, according to the Denver Post. Svatos was the Avs leading goalscorer with 26 tallies, so obviously this is a big blow to them and his fantasy owners.

Marek Svatos is out indefinitely after sustaining a knee injury in Saturday's game against the Kings, according to the Canadian Press. He is set to undergo further examination by the team's medical staff over the next few days. This is bad timing, as Svatos was in the midst of a five-game point streak. We'll keep you posted on his status.

Marek Svatos and Milan Hejduk both scored twice as the Avalanche overwhelmed the Canucks 6-2 on Saturday night. Svatos is now up to 24 goals on the season though he has, amazingly, only five assists. The record for most goals in a season with less than 10 assists by the way is Peter Bondra's 34 in 1994-95. Talk about a sniper. Svatos has really come on of late with 11 goals in his last 16 games just a year after he managed to light the lamp only 15 times after a 32 goal rookie season.
