According to a published report in the Denver Post, Colorado Avalanche backup goaltender Peter Budaj has been diagnosed with the H1N1 virus. "We've taken the necessary steps, the necessary precautions, to keep him away from the guys at the right time," coach Joe Sacco told the media. "Hopefully, he'll be joining us on this trip."
Budaj was set to start in goal last Friday against the Hurricanes. But he became ill on Thursday afternoon with flu-like symptoms and was scratched. From the first sign of Budaj's illness last week, the team was concerned it might be H1N1 flu. "We're always cautious," Sacco said. "With Peter, once he came down with those flu-like symptoms, we did the right thing by keeping him away. We'll do whatever we can to make sure our guys stay healthy." Hope he will come back to the ice in the avalanche jersey soon.
