Yurov scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 4.
Yurov deflected a Brock Faber shot to open the scoring midway through the first period. This was Yurov's first career playoff goal. The 22-year-old has earned three points over four games in the second round against the Avalanche after getting held off the scoresheet in four outings versus the Stars in the first round before being scratched twice to end that series. Yurov has added eight shots on net, 11 hits, six PIM and an even plus-minus rating this postseason. He's likely to remain in a middle-six role in the absence of Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body).

Rotowire
Yurov logged an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Avalanche in Game 1.
Yurov was scratched for the last two games of the first round versus the Stars after going scoreless in his first four NHL playoff games. The 22-year-old rookie got the chance to play as a fill-in for Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body), who will also miss at least Game 2 of this series. Yurov put together a decent rookie year with 27 points, 80 shots on net, 62 hits, 43 blocked shots and 28 PIM over 73 regular-season outings, giving him the skills to handle important minutes in the postseason. He had a total of 11 points across 61 playoff contests in the KHL prior to making the move to North America.

Rotowire
Yurov scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Yurov found the back of the net in each of the final two games of the regular season. He occupied a first-line role while the Wild rested key veteran players down the stretch. However, he will likely drop down the depth chart when the playoffs begin. The 21-year-old rookie recorded 27 points (12 goals, 15 assists) in 73 regular-season appearances.

Rotowire
Yurov scored twice in Friday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.
Yurov had been limited to one assist over his prior six games.

Yurov is up to six goals, 15 points, 40 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 23 hits and a minus-1 rating over 35 appearances. He's moved around the lineup a bit, but he should be able to challenge for top-six minutes at even strength.

Rotowire
Yurov scored a goal, logged two assists, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Capitals.

Wild's Danila Yurov: Records power-play assist
Rotowire
Yurov notched a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Senators.
Yurov's helper was his first point in four outings since he missed two games due to an undisclosed injury. The 21-year-old has been listed on the top line at even strength lately, and he may hold onto that on-paper role now that Marco Rossi is a Canuck following Friday's blockbuster Quinn Hughes trade. Yurov is up to eight points in 25 appearances, his helper Saturday being his first power-play contribution. He's added 31 shots on net, 17 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. Yurov isn't quite a household name for fantasy yet, but he has plenty of time to develop into one.

Wild's Danila Yurov: First career goal a game-winner
Rotowire
Yurov scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 3-1 victory over the Rangers.
The 21-year-old jammed home the rebound on Marcus Johansson's wraparound attempt midway through the third period to break a 1-1 tie. It was Yurov's first career NHL point in his fifth game, and while the 2022 first-round pick is still stuck in a bottom-six role at even strength, he did skate on the second power-play unit Monday as he begins to earn the trust of coach John Hynes.
