• Avalanche's Calvin de Haan: Another two-assist game

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  De Haan registered two assists, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Devils. This was the second time in four games that de Haan has produced two helpers. He had just one helper over 18 contests to begin the season, which led to him playing a part-time role, though he has been in the lineup somewhat consistently since Josh Manson (upper body) and Oliver Kylington (upper body) got injured. Overall, de Haan has five helpers, 33 shots on net, 29 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 22 appearances. He's halfway to matching his point total (10) from 2023-24, but it's unlikely he gets anywhere near the 20-point threshold this season.

• Avalanche's Calvin de Haan: Two helpers in Tuesday's win

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  De Haan notched two assists in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Sabres. Both helpers came in the third period as the Avs completed an improbable comeback from an early 4-0 deficit. The performance snapped a 16-game point drought for de Haan that stretched back to Oct. 16. The 33-year-old blueliner has bounced in and out of the lineup on the third pairing in his first season with the Avs, and through 19 appearances he has three helpers, 35 blocked shots, 32 shots on net, 26 jits and a minus-7 rating.

• Avalanche's Calvin de Haan: Limited offense in part-time role

  11/19/2024 • By RotoWire

  De Haan was scratched for the third time in eight November games when he sat out Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Flyers. De Haan has played a majority of the time, logging one assist, 22 shots on net, 19 hits and 28 blocked shots over 15 appearances. The 33-year-old is not a full-time player, and he's often limited to a third-pairing role when the Avalanche are healthy on defense. The blueliner will likely continue to rotate in and out of the lineup while competing with Oliver Kylington and John Ludvig for playing time.

• Avalanche's Calvin de Haan: First helper with new team

  10/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.

• Avalanche's Calvin de Haan: Signs one-year deal

  07/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  De Haan signed a one-year, $800,000 contract with the Avalanche on Monday, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia. De Haan had three goals, 10 points, 96 hits and 82 blocked shots in 59 regular-season appearances with the Lightning in 2023-24. The 33-year-old should be in the mix for a third-pairing role, but it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up as Colorado's seventh defenseman on the depth chart.
