Avalanche coach Joe Sacco this afternoon said that winger Kevin Porter, who suffered what the team is terming an upper-body injury in the second period of Friday night's Game 2 of the first-round series against San Jose, won't be in the lineup for Sunday night's Game 3 in the Pepsi Center.

Sacco said he couldn't predict how long Porter might be out. "But he won't be available tomorrow night," the Avalanche coach said. He added that winger David Jones, who has been practicing but hasn't played since November because of a knee injury and surgery, isn't an option, either. "He's not ready to play tomorrow night, no," Sacco said.

Without Porter, Jones and Peter Mueller (concussion) available, Sacco's options would appear to be inserting one of the three healthy scratches among the forwards for Games 1 and 2 — Marek Svatos, Chris Durno, or Ryan Stoa. Another possibility, a longshot, would be to suit up a seventh defensemen, either Brett Clark or Ruslan Salei, who also haven't yet played in the series.
