Avalanche's Zakhar Bardakov: Manages helper in loss

Bardakov notched an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning.

Bardakov has played in four straight games since injuries started to pile up again for the Avalanche. The 24-year-old remains in a fourth-line role, which will continue to limit his scoring potential. He's up to six points, 19 shots on net, 27 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 29 appearances this season.
