De Haan logged an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
The 33-year-old defenseman has a helper, five blocked shots, three hits and a minus-2 rating through his first two games with the Avalanche. De Haan has been fending off Oliver Kylington and John Ludvig for a spot on the third pairing alongside Sam Malinski after signing a one-year deal with Colorado in July. De Haan has just one 20-point campaign to his name, so he's unlikely to turn into a dynamo on offense in 2024-25.
