Giguere signed a two-year contract and acted as the veteran mentor in the Colorado locker room during the 2011-12 season, especially for the young netminder Semyon Varlamov.
His leadership was key in a four-game home stand in mid December when Varlamov was sidelined for a back ailment. Giguère started all four games and won them all, securing the Avalanche a team record eight straight wins at home. It was the most consecutive home wins the franchise had seen since the Quebec Nordiques won ten straight in 1995, before the club moved to Denver later that year.
