Trenin's point drought reached 16 games in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.
During the scoring slump, he has 10 shots on net and 49 hits. The 27-year-old is best known for his physical play, but he's also contributed at least 17 points over each of the last three seasons. In 2024-25, he's at one assist, 14 shots, 62 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 21 outings in a bottom-six role. Trenin's a non-factor in fantasy until he shows something more on offense.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Contributes helper in win
Rotowire
Trenin picked up an assist, two hits and six PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Trenin earned his first point as a member of the Wild when he set up a Marco Rossi goal in the first period. The 27-year-old Trenin signed a four-year deal this offseason, mainly to bring some grit to the Wild's bottom six. He's done that so far with 13 hits and eight PIM over five appearances. He's never produced more than 24 points in a season, so he shouldn't be expected to take a step forward in that area, but he can produce around 200 hits over a full campaign.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: On the ice at camp
Rotowire
Trenin (upper body) is skating at the Wild's camp, but he won't play in the preseason opener versus the Jets on Saturday.
Signed to a four-year deal in July, Trenin does not appear to have any lingering concerns from the upper-body injury that kept him out of the Avalanche's last playoff contest. He'll compete for a bottom-six role with the Wild, though his contract assures he'll be in the lineup most of the time. Between Colorado and Nashville last year, Trenin produced 12 goals, five assists, 40 PIM, 116 shots on goal and 207 hits in 76 regular-season contests.

Avalanche's Yakov Trenin: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Trenin (upper body) will not be in the lineup for Game 6 versus Dallas on Friday. Coach Jared Bednar told reporters, "He won't be available tonight. He's on the shelf for tonight's game. Still classify him as day-to-day," per Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette.
Trenin has produced just one point in 10 postseason contests, so his absence from the lineup is unlikely to have a significant impact on fantasy players. Without Trenin in the lineup, the Avs will likely turn to Chris Wagner to fill a fourth-line center role, though Fredrik Olofsson could also be in the mix.

Avalanche's Yakov Trenin: Dealing with upper-body injury
Rotowire
Trenin is being evaluated for an upper-body injury after exiting Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Stars in the first period, Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now reports.
Trenin exited midway through the first period, and it appears unlikely he'll be able to return to the game. If the Avalanche lose Wednesday, the injury will end his season, though it's unclear if he'll be available for Friday's Game 6 should the Avalanche win.

Avalanche's Yakov Trenin: Good to go Friday
Rotowire
Trenin (undisclosed) will play Friday against the Oilers, per the NHL's media site.
Trenin is back in action after missing Colorado's last two games. The 27-year-old has two goals in 10 games since being traded to the Avalanche. He should maintain a bottom-six role now that he's healthy.

Avalanche's Yakov Trenin: Scores first as Av
Rotowire
Trenin scored a goal on his lone shot in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win against Pittsburgh.
Trenin earned his first goal and point in an Avalanche jersey, closing the gap to 4-2. With Colorado buzzing and having just hit the crossbar, Brandon Duhaime's shot caromed of Trenin and under the arm of Alex Nedeljkovic. That tally, late in the second period, spurred a frantic third period in which the Avs scored twice then went on to win in overtime. Trenin, who was acquired from Nashville at the trade deadline, is skating on the fourth line and averaging two fewer minutes of ice time per game in Colorado.

Avalanche's Yakov Trenin: Moved to fourth line
Rotowire
Trenin had one shot and five hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Edmonton.
Trenin was dropped from the third to fourth line, as Zach Parise returned from a lower-body injury. The fourth line was responsible for 12 of Colorado's 33 hits, and Trenin has 13 body checks over four games since being traded from Nashville. Overall, the 27-year-old is tied for 19th in the NHL with 184 hits.

Avalanche's Yakov Trenin: On third line for now
Rotowire
Trenin had one shot on net, two blocks and two hits over 15:22 of ice time in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Calgary.
Trenin played his second game for Colorado since being acquired from Nashville last week. He saw ice time as a winger on the third line, took some faceoff draws and was used on the penalty-kill unit. The Avalanche need someone to replace Logan O'Connor (hip) on the third line, but it may not be Trenin long term. Once Zach Parise (lower body) is ready, he figures to skate there, and Trenin could drop to fourth-line center when additional injured players return. He's recorded six hits in his first two games with Colorado and could provide the physical edge the team lost when it traded Kurtis MacDermid to New Jersey.

Avalanche's Yakov Trenin: Acquired by Avalanche
Rotowire
Trenin was traded along with Graham Sward to Colorado from Nashville on Thursday in exchange for Jeremy Hanzel and a 2025 third-round selection.
Trenin has 10 goals, 14 points, 38 PIM and 171 hits in 60 contests with the Predators in 2023-24. He's averaged 15:04 of ice time this season, but that workload might decline with the Avalanche. Trenin is likely to serve almost exclusively in a bottom-six capacity for Colorado.

Predators' Yakov Trenin: Nabs helper in win
Rotowire
Trenin notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Trenin helped out on a Cody Glass goal in the first period. The assist snapped a five-game slump for Trenin, who has maintained a second-line role despite his lack of recent offense. The 27-year-old forward is up to 12 points, 84 shots on net, 155 hits, 36 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 53 appearances this season. His toughness can help in deep fantasy formats, but there's little offense to be found in Trenin's play.

Predators' Yakov Trenin: Tallies in loss
Rotowire
Trenin scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime defeat to the Senators.
Trenin extended Nashville's lead to 3-0 in the final minute of the first period, deflecting a Dante Fabbro shot past Mads Sogaard. The goal is Trenin's first in 16 games -- he had just one assist in that span. Overall, the 27-year-old winger is up to eight goals and 11 points through 47 outings. While Trenin may not be a consistent scoring option, he adds a physical element to Nashville's middle-six, racking up 110 hits this season.

Predators' Yakov Trenin: Pots goal in win
Rotowire
Trenin scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Sabres.
Trenin's goal at 10:54 of the first period held as the game-winner for the Predators. The 26-year-old third-liner has earned all seven of his points this season over the last nine contests. Trenin has added 39 shots on net, 63 hits and a plus-5 rating. He's not as bad as he was to start the year, nor as good as he's been lately, but Trenin could challenge the 24-point totals he's put up in each of the last two seasons if he can stay on track once his current hot stretch ends.

Predators' Yakov Trenin: Nets opening goal Sunday
Rotowire
Trenin scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Jets.
Trenin took a pass from Roman Josi and powered through the defense to open the scoring at 19:40 of the first period. This was Trenin's fourth goal and fifth point over the last five games, an unusually strong run for the checking-line forward. Trenin has responded well to his Nov. 11 scratch against the Coyotes, as he hadn't recorded a point before that date. The 26-year-old has five points, 36 shots on net, 53 hits and a plus-7 rating through 19 outings overall.

Predators' Yakov Trenin: Two-point effort against Chicago
Rotowire
Trenin scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over Chicago.
After failing to find the scoresheet in the first 14 games of the season, Trenin finally broke through. He opened the scoring midway through the first period before picking up a helper on Cole Smith's empty-netter with 12 seconds left in the third. Trenin has produced 24 points in each of the last two seasons, but he saw top-six minutes at even strength Saturday and has a little bit of offensive pedigree -- he was a second-round pick back in 2015, and the 26-year-old collected 20 goals and 35 points over 32 games in his last action for AHL Milwaukee in 2019-20. If Trenin gets an opportunity with better-quality linemates, he could surprise.

Trenin brought his five-game scoring drought to an end. He's up to 12 goals and 23 points in 76 contests in 2022-23. The Predators will conclude their season Friday against Colorado, giving Trenin an opportunity to match or surpass his career high of 24 points, which he set in 2021-22.

Predators' Yakov Trenin: Scores goal in Saturday's rout
Rotowire
Trenin scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blues.
Now with 11 goals and 11 assists in 70 games, Trenin is on pace to finish with something resembling his career-high, 24-point effort from last season. Not bad for a bottom-six forward. However, Trenin would need to receive a promotion to more of a scoring role in order to have any significant fantasy value in most formats.

Predators' Yakov Trenin: Reaches 10-goal mark
Rotowire
Trenin scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Ducks.
Trenin's third-period tally was nearly enough for the Predators, but the Ducks scored twice with their goalie pulled to tie the game late. Trenin had gone six games without a goal, logging just two assists in that span. The 26-year-old is up to 10 tallies, 21 points, 112 shots on net, 132 hits, 39 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 59 appearances.
