On October 28th, the Flames and Mikka Kiprusoff shutout the Avalanche 3-0. Since then, Kipper has been rather "meh", giving up 6 goals in a game twice (and he probably would have a 3rd time had he not been pulled after 1 4-goal period against the Sharks). Here's how Kiprussof and Budaj have fared since that night:
| Rec | MIN | GA | GAA | SVPCT | PPGA | |
| Budaj | 3-3 | 365 | 17 | 2.79 | .905 | 3 |
| Kipprusoff | 4-4 | 438 | 30 | 4.11 | .872 | 10 |
So, will the anemic Avalanche attack be the cure for Kipper's ailing game? Or will a struggling Kipprusoff be just what the Avs need to get them to start lighting the lamp again?
