Avalanche's Fedor Tyutin: Will not play Wednesday

Tyutin (groin) will not play in Wednesdays game against the Kings, Mike Chambers of the Denver Post reports.

With just eight points over 40 contests this season and a minus-19 rating, Tyutin doesn't provide much fantasy upside even when he's in the lineup. Fortunately, the Avs regained the services of fellow blueliner Tyson Barrie on the same night they lost Tyutin, giving them the necessary numbers among the defensive ranks. When the veteran rejoins the lineup, Patrick Wiercioch will probably be the top candidate to be scratched.
