Avalanche's Duncan Siemens: Recalled by big club

The Avalanche recalled Siemens from AHL San Antonio on Tuesday.

Colorado sent Andrei Mironov to the minors in a corresponding move, so Siemens will take over as the big club's seventh defenseman for the time being. The 2011 first-round pick has only totaled one goal and seven points in 45 games with AHL San Antonio this campaign, so he'll likely have a tough time producing any offense at the next level.
