Paul Stastny - C - Avalanche

Paul Stastny's back injury is currently being regarded as a day-to-day problem.

Stastny "tweaked" his back during Saturday's contest. It certainly doesn't sound too serious, but he needs to undergo some tests, so his status might change. It's also worth noting that he dealt with back spasms earlier this season.
