Kelly notched an assist in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Capitals. Kelly helped out on linemate Miles Wood's game-winning goal at 3:29 of the third period. Over the last three games, Kelly has three points. The 25-year-old may be benefiting from a slightly smaller role since the Avalanche got some injured forwards back last week -- he's since shifted to the fourth-line center role after regularly playing on the third line. Kelly has four points, 27 shots on net, 40 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 20 appearances.

Kelly generated a goal on two shots, an assist and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals. Kelly opened the scoring in the contest before adding a primary helper on Nikolai Kovalenko's second-period marker. Kelly had one point this season before Friday's multi-point effort, so this performance was likely an outlier. The 25-year-old occupies a bottom-six role and spot on the penalty kill, so he's relied upon more in the defensive zone. Kelly has notched a goal and two assists across 18 contests in 2024-25.

Kelly posted eight blocked shots, four hits and two shots on net in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Kraken. Kelly played a big role while the Kraken had an extra attacker on the ice late in the third period. The eight blocks were five more than any other Avalanche skater -- the team's six blueliners combined for 10 blocks in the contest. Kelly has filled a defensive role on the third line this season, picking up just one assist with 20 shots on net, 33 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 13 appearances.

Kelly recorded an assist and four hits in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets. Kelly has four shots on net, four hits and a minus-1 rating through his first two games with the Avalanche. The 25-year-old signed a two-year contract in July, and he's filled a bottom-six role so far. He has yet to contribute 20 points in a single season, though he has topped the 100-hit mark in three straight years.

Kelly will become an unrestricted free agent Monday after not receiving a qualifying offer from the Senators, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Kelly scored 10 goals and 18 points in 80 games with Ottawa last year. He also racked up 171 hits after dishing out 172 during the 2022-23 campaign. The 25-year-old has 35 points in 177 career NHL contests.
