Francouz (ankle) will join the Avs for their five-game road trip starting Wednesday in Toronto, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.
Francouz will face an uphill battle to get any game action even once cleared to play, as Darcy Kuemper figures to remain the No. 1 option. For his part, Francouz should compete with Jonas Johansson for the backup role, though coach Jared Bednar indicated the team could carry all three netminders.
