The 37-year-old Johnson is seeing steady usage on the Avalanche's third pairing this season. He's up to 15 points, 61 shots on net, 65 hits, 79 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating through 66 appearances. Johnson could reach the 20-point plateau this campaign for the first time since 2016-17.

  • Avalanche's Casey Mittelstadt: Puts up assist

    Mittelstadt notched an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

He's settling in nicely with a second-line role and power-play time since being acquired from the Sabres. Mittelstadt has 50 points, 106 shots on net and a plus-16 rating through 66 contests in 2023-24, and it's not impossible to think he could push for his first 60-point campaign down the stretch.

    Georgiev stopped 32 of 34 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

  • Avalanche's Fredrik Olofsson: Returned to AHL

    Olofsson was assigned to AHL Colorado on Saturday, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.

    Olofsson's services are no longer required by the Avalanche because Zach Parise (lower body), Artturi Lehkonen (illness) and Jonathan Drouin (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday versus Edmonton. The 27-year-old Olofsson has three goals and nine points in 57 NHL outings this season.

  • Avalanche's Jonathan Drouin: Good to go Saturday

    Drouin (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday in Edmonton, according to Avalanche play-by-play announcer Conor McGahey.

    Drouin will return to action after sitting out Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over Vancouver. He is expected to return to his spot on the second line alongside Casey Mittelstadt and Artturi Lehkonen. Drouin is having his best offensive season since 2018-19, as he has 12 goals and 38 points in 64 appearances, including 15 points on the power play.

  • Avalanche's Zach Parise: Ready to return Saturday

    Parise (lower body) is good to play Saturday versus Edmonton, coach Jared Bednar told Avalanche play-by-play announcer Conor McGahey.

    Parise was originally on track to be a game-time decision, but the update on his status came earlier than anticipated. He has four goals and seven points across 15 outings in 2023-24. Jonathan Drouin (lower body) will return as well, so Parise likely doesn't have a spot in the top six and is instead projected to serve on the third line.

  • Avalanche's Alexandar Georgiev: Tending twine Saturday

    Georgiev will patrol the visiting crease versus Edmonton on Saturday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

    Georgiev will be going after his fourth straight win. He has already won 34 games and is on track to surpass his career-high of 40 victories from the 2022-23 season. He has a 2.85 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 53 appearances this campaign. The Oilers will be a formidable foe for Georgiev, as the team ranks fifth in scoring with 227 goals in 2023-24.

  • Avalanche's Zach Parise: Game-time decision versus Edmonton

    Parise (lower body) will be a game-time call against the Oilers on Saturday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

    Parise has racked up seven points in 15 games since signing with the Avalanche back in January. The winger has already missed three games due to his lower-body injury but looks close to getting back into action. If Jonathan Drouin (lower body) returns as well, Parise will likely have to settle for a third-line role.

  • Avalanche's Jonathan Drouin: Game-time call for Saturday

    Drouin (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's clash with Edmonton, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

    Drouin has found his offensive game of late with two goals and two assists in his last four outings. If the winger does return to action, he figures to retake a top-six role, likely knocking Brandon Duhaime down the lineup. In addition, Drouin could be an option for the No. 1 power-play unit.

  • Avalanche's Artturi Lehkonen: Expected back against Oilers

    Lehkonen (illness) is slated to return to action versus Edmonton on Saturday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

    Lehkonen looks poised to return from a two-game absence due to his illness. In 18 contests since returning from a long-term neck problem, the 28-year-old winger has rolled with eight goals and six assists, including five power-play points. As such, Lehkonen figures to be back with one of the power-play units Saturday.
