Top Avalanche News

  • Avalanche's Ross Colton: Dealing with upper-body injury

    Colton is questionable against the Predators on Friday due to a upper-body injury, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

    Colton joins a growing list of injured forwards in Colorado, as the team remains without Gabriel Landeskog (upper body) and Joel Kiviranta (lower body). The Avs were already practicing without a full complement of 12 forwards Thursday, so they may need multiple call-ups from the minors ahead of Friday's contest.

  • Avalanche's Zakhar Bardakov: Called up Thursday

    Bardakov was recalled from AHL Colorado on Thursday.

    Bardakov was sent to the AHL on Tuesday, but he'll rejoin the NHL club following a brief stint in the minors. The 24-year-old has appeared in 32 games with the Avalanche this year, generating a goal, seven assists, 30 hits, 16 blocked shots and six PIM while averaging 7:17 of ice time.

  • Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Activated off IR

    Blackwood (lower body) was activated off injured reserve Wednesday.

    The Avalanche assigned Trent Miner to AHL Colorado in a corresponding move. Blackwood will rejoin the Avalanche ahead of Friday's contest against Nashville. Blackwood missed six games due to a lower-body injury, and he'll look to continue his elite season following his absence. He has a 13-1-1 record, a 2.07 GAA and a .924 save percentage through 15 outings this season.

  • Avalanche's Trent Miner: Heads to minors

    Miner was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Wednesday.

    Miner has a 1-0-3 record, 2.03 GAA and .923 save percentage in four appearances with the Avalanche in 2025-26. His reassignment corresponds with Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) being activated off injured reserve. Miner is likely to remain in the minors for the remainder of the regular season unless the Avalanche once again need a goaltender due to Blackwood or Scott Wedgewood being unavailable.

  • Avalanche's Nikita Prishchepov: Picks up three points

    Prishchepov scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Colorado's 6-3 loss to Ontario on Tuesday.

    Prishchepov lost about six weeks at the start of the season while recovering from an undisclosed injury. He's done a fine job with the Eagles so far, earning two goals and eight assists across 16 outings, with five of those points coming over the last two games. He saw some time with the Avalanche in 2024-25, but it would take a number of injuries to get him in the mix this season.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Avalanche's Chase Bradley: Scores twice in AHL loss

    Bradley scored two goals in AHL Colorado's 6-3 loss to Ontario on Tuesday.

    Bradley missed over two months of action from early November to early January, but he's picked up four goals and an assist over four games since he returned. He's at seven points, 33 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 15 appearances this season.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Avalanche's Brock Nelson: Finds twine on power play

    Nelson scored a power-play goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

    Nelson put the Avalanche ahead 2-1 late in the first period, though Bobby McMann pulled Toronto level in the second. With 13 goals and 20 points over his last 17 games, Nelson has found his groove on the Avalanche's second line and first power-play unit -- he has earned nine of those points with the man advantage. The 34-year-old center is at 22 goals, 38 points (11 on the power play), 98 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 22 hits and a plus-11 rating through 45 appearances.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Reassigned to minors

    Ivan was sent back to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

    Ivan will return to the AHL after a pair of quiet games where he averaged less than 7:30 of ice time for the Avalanche. Through 30 games with the Colorado Eagles this season, he has two goals, six assists and 60 shots on net. He will likely suit up for the Eagles' games Tuesday and Wednesday before having a chance to return to the Avalanche ahead of Friday's contest due to the numerous injuries among the team's forward group.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Avalanche's Zakhar Bardakov: Sent down to AHL

    Bardakov was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

    After 32 games at the NHL level, Bardakov will take his first trip to the AHL following Tuesday's news. While he had just begun to produce points consistently with three helpers across his last four games, his inconsistency in finding the scoresheet during the months prior kept him in a limited role. The 24-year-old forward has shown promise in his first NHL season with eight points, but he may need more time to retool his game in the minors before potentially rejoining the Avalanche later this season.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Avalanche's Trent Miner: Allowed four goals to Leafs

    Miner gave up four goals on 31 shots (.871 save percentage) in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Monday.

    Miner was given the second consecutive start after having blanked the Blue Jackets on Saturday but wasn't nearly as sharp. Once Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) returns to the lineup, the 24-year-old Miner will be headed back to AHL Colorado, where he figures to spend the rest of the 2025-26 campaign, barring additional injury concerns.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Avalanche's Cale Makar: Records two points Monday

    Makar scored a goal on two shots and picked up a power-play assist in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Monday.

    Makar has three multi-point games over his last six outings, generating two goals and six assists, including five with the man advantage. At his current pace, the offensively-gifted blueliner should be capable of reaching the 90-point threshold for the third consecutive year and could even challenge for 100.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Avalanche's Martin Necas: Scores goal, assist versus Leafs

    Necas scored a goal on five shots and generated an assist in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Monday.

    Necas has seven multi-point games in his last 16 outings, producing a combined seven goals and 11 helpers. During that stretch, only two of the winger's points have come with the man advantage despite him averaging 3:55 of power-play ice time.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Garners trio of helpers

    MacKinnon racked up three assists in Monday's 4-3 loss to Toronto.

    MacKinnon has been boom or bust of late, generating six multi-point efforts in his last nine outings while being blanked in the other three. With 81 points in 45 games this year, the world-class center is on pace to top his career-best year from 2023-24 when he notched 140 points in 82 regular-season tilts.

  • Avalanche's Trent Miner: Slated to start Monday

    Miner is expected to patrol the crease at home versus the Maple Leafs on Monday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

    Miner is coming off a 29-save shutout win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday, so it seems the team will go with the hot hand heading into Monday's contest. Despite his decent performance, Miner will almost certainly be shipped down to the minors once Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) is cleared to return.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Brought up from AHL

    Ivan was recalled from AHL Colorado on Monday.

    Ivan has contributed one assist, three shots on goal, one blocked shot and one hit in four NHL outings this season. He will probably occupy a fourth-line role against the Maple Leafs on Monday.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Avalanche's Parker Kelly: Earns pair of assists

    Kelly logged two assists in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Kelly has a goal and two helpers over his last three outings, rebounding from a seven-game slump. With the Avalanche weathering some injuries to forwards, Kelly has moved up into a third-line role. The 26-year-old forward is up to 16 points, 59 shots on net, 89 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 44 appearances. He'll have a career year on offense if he can earn four more points.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Avalanche's Ilya Solovyov: Pots first NHL goal

    Solovyov scored his first career goal in the NHL during Saturday's 4-0 win over Columbus.

    The 25-year-old gave the Avalanche a 3-0 lead in the second period by snapping a shot past Elvis Merzlikins from the faceoff dot to the goalie's right. Solovyov has gotten onto the scoresheet in three straight games as he helps cover for the absence of Devon Toews (upper body), but Colorado's depth on the blue line will make it tough for Solovyov to earn a consistent role in the top six when the unit is fully healthy, no matter how he performs.
