WASHINGTON — Calvin Pickard, over the weekend recalled for his fourth stint with the Avalanche this season, is set to get the start in the Colorado net Tuesday night as the five-game trip continues at Raleigh, N.C., against the Carolina Hurricanes.

However, Colorado coach Patrick Roy on Monday morning again emphasized that he hasn’t given up on Reto Berra, who was sent to Lake Erie for a five-game conditioning assignment as Pickard came back to the Avs. Berra hasn’t played since Dec. 5 and hasn’t played a full game for Colorado since Nov. 25.

“We haven’t given up on him,” Roy said. “He had a great training camp. He had a good start and played really well. Then for some reason when he got his concussion, when he came back he didn’t play as well. This is where Calvin took over. But you have to give (Berra) a chance, and we will. He’s going to go and play five games in the minors for conditioning. We’ll see how those games are going to go, first of all. After that, we’re going to re-evaluate where we are.

“Right now the urgency for us is to win hockey games. The backup goaltending situation for me is not a concern. We believe in Reto, and we feel that we have three solid goalies, and we just hope that Reto’s game is going to get better.”

Lineup unchanged. Defenseman Zach Redmond was Colorado’s healthy scratch against Washington for the seventh consecutive game. Center Ben Street, on the injured list with a hand injury, is on the trip and as he has been doing for a while, participated in the morning skate.

Varlamov star. Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov was named the NHL’s second star Monday for last week. Varlamov was 3-0-0 with a 1.67 goals-against average and a .962 save percentage. St. Louis’ David Backes was the No. 1 star and Florida’s Jonathan Huberdeau the No. 3 NHL star for the week.
