Avalanche's Ross Colton: Out at least six weeks
Colton is expected to miss 6-8 weeks due to a broken foot, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports Wednesday.
That brings an unfortunate disruption to Colton's tremendous start to the campaign -- he has eight goals and nine points through 10 appearances. Colton was seeing time on the top line since the Avalanche have been dealing with numerous forward injuries. Now that Colton is among those on the shelf, Nikolai Kovalenko might start playing alongside Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen, though Kovalenko will likely concede that role once Jonathan Drouin (upper body), who hasn't played since Oct. 9 but is now day-to-day, is ready to return.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Set to miss significant time
Head coach Jared Bednar said Wednesday that he expects Colton (foot) to miss "significant time," Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
While Bednar doesn't yet have a clear return timetable for Colton, it sounds as though the 28-year-old will be out for an extended period after landing on injured reserve Tuesday. Colton's injury adds to a lengthy list of absences for the Avalanche, and T.J. Tynan was called up Wednesday to provide additional depth. Nikolai Kovalenko and Ivan Ivan are also candidates to see increased roles while Colton is unavailable.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Lands on IR
Colton (foot) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
Colton suffered the injury in Monday's 5-2 loss to Chicago. He has compiled eight goals, one assist, 37 shots on net, nine blocked shots and 28 hits across 10 appearances this season. A timetable for Colton's return is unclear, but he will miss at least the next two games following his placement on the IR list. If Jonathan Drouin (upper body) and Artturi Lehkonen (shoulder) remain out versus Tampa Bay on Wednesday, Nikolai Kovalenko might move up to the top line, and Ivan Ivan could get an increase in power-play time.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Injured on Monday
Colton is facing an extended absence after blocking a shot and injuring his foot in Monday's matchup versus Chicago, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.
Colton was seen leaving the game in a walking boot, and head coach Jared Bednar said "He's going to miss some time." The injury comes at an inopportune time for Colton and the Avalanche alike -- the left-shot forward leads the team in goals with eight through 10 contests. Colorado is dealing with multiple injuries to its forward group, so expect the club to recall a player from the AHL to replace Colton on the roster in the interim.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Scores in Sunday's win
Colton scored a goal on six shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Senators.
Colton didn't miss time after exiting Thursday's game following a slash to the hand. He didn't look any worse for wear either -- his six shots were a team high, and he scored for the second game in a row. The 28-year-old winger is up to eight goals, one assist, 34 shots on net, 27 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over nine appearances. Colton should continue to fill in on the top line until Jonathan Drouin (upper body) or Artturi Lehkonen (shoulder) is cleared to return.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Good to go
Colton (hand) will play Sunday against Ottawa, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.
Colton won't miss additional action after being injured in Thursday's 5-1 win over Utah. He has generated seven goals, one assist, 28 shots on net and 25 hits through eight appearances this season. Colton will play on the top line and first power-play unit versus the Senators.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Dealing with hand injury
Colton couldn't return to Thursday's 5-1 win over Utah after taking a slash to the hand in the second period, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
There was no update on Colton's status from head coach Jared Bednar. That leaves Colton in the day-to-day category heading into a back-to-back versus the Senators on Sunday and the Blackhawks on Monday.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Exits with upper-body injury
Colton (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus Utah.
Colton scored a power-play goal on three shots in 11:07 of ice time prior to his exit. He joins a growing list of injured Avalanche forwards, though it's not yet known how much time he might miss. Prior to his injury, Colton has been filling in on the Avalanche's top line and first power-play unit, which has led to him producing seven goals and one assist over eight appearances.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Another two-goal game
Colton scored twice on four shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Colton potted two goals for the second game in a row. He opened the scoring with a power-play marker and added another at even strength about 10 minutes later. The 28-year-old has six goals, one assist, 22 shots on net, 20 hits and a minus-2 rating through six contests. He's thriving in a top-line role alongside Nathan MacKinnon, and Colton has a good chance to stay in that spot until the Avalanche get some injured forwards back.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Keeps rolling with two goals
Colton scored twice on five shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.
Colton led the comeback charge in the third period, scoring the game-tying goal on the power play and adding a go-ahead tally at even strength. The 28-year-old has steadily moved up the lineup with the Avalanche managing multiple injuries to forwards. Colton has four goals, one assist, 18 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-3 rating through five contests. The physical forward has earned three of his points with the man advantage, and if he can keep his power-play production strong, he could be setting the tone for a career year.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Nets power-play goal
Colton scored a power-play goal on four shots, doled out five hits and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Bruins.
Colton has two goals, one assist, 13 shots on net, 17 hits and a minus-4 rating through four contests this season. The 28-year-old remained on the second line Wednesday, and with injuries once again piling up for the Avalanche, he could stay in that role for a while. Colton's offense isn't always consistent, but he can chip in with shots and hits in spades while playing in the top six.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Produces two points in loss
Colton scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Colton had a power-play assist in the second period and an even-strength goal in the third. The 28-year-old forward was held off the scoresheet in the season opener Wednesday versus the Golden Knights. Colton has a chance to play in a top-six role as long as Jonathan Drouin (upper body) is out. In the long run, Colton can be a useful forward in fantasy thanks to his physicality, especially after producing a career-high 40 points over 80 regular-season outings last year.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Hands out helper in loss
Colton supplied an assist, five hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2.
Colton snapped a three-game dry spell with the helper. He's up to four points, 12 shots on net, 27 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over seven playoff contests. Colton remains in a third-line role, and he's seeing more limited usage in the postseason. The 27-year-old can offer supplementary offense and plenty of physicality, however.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Adds insurance marker
Colton scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.
Colton is riding a five-game point streak with two goals and three assists in that span. He has a goal and two helpers during the playoffs, and he's added seven shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-1 rating over those three contests. He remains in a third-line role, but he poses a threat as a depth scorer when the Avalanche's offense is humming as it has been in this series (17 goals over three games).

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Collects assist in win
Colton registered an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and five hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.
Colton has a goal and three helpers during his active four-game point streak. The 27-year-old has also added some grit during the playoffs with nine hits over two contests. Colton remains in a third-line role, where he can chip in occasional offense in addition to a steady stream of shots and hits.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Slides helper
Colton logged an assist, three shots on goal and four hits in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Jets in Game 1.
Colton has earned five points over the last seven games. The 27-year-old remains in a third-line role, so his chances to be a consistent contributor on offense are likely to be limited in the postseason unless injuries force him into a larger role. Colton had a career-high 40 points with 146 shots on net, 141 hits, 61 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 80 regular-season appearances.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Opens scoring in OT loss
Colton scored a goal during Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
Colton opened the scoring with his 17th goal of the season. The 27-year-old tied his career high of 39 points with that tally. Colton is providing depth scoring as the Avs brace for the postseason, but his production has come inconsistently in a middle-six role.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Hands out helper
Colton notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Stars.
Colton has a goal and an assist over his last two games after going five contests without a point. The third-liner is up to 38 points, one off his career high, through 76 outings this season. He's remained a physical presence as well with 138 hits and 59 PIM this season.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Finds twine in loss
Colton scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Oilers.
Colton snapped a five-game point drought with his first-period marker, but that was the Avalanche's last goal of the game. The 27-year-old has been less consistent on offense since Casey Mittelstadt was acquired from the Sabres to center the second line, bumping Colton down the lineup. Colton has 16 goals, 37 points, 138 shots on net, 136 hits and a minus-10 rating over 75 appearances.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Tallies in Friday's win
Colton scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Friday's 6-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Colton has two goals over six contests since the Avalanche acquired Casey Mittelstadt from the Sabres. Predictably, a drop out of the top six has taken a bite out of Colton's offense, though he did have the game-winning tally Friday. The 27-year-old is up to 15 goals, 35 points, 128 shots on net, 125 hits, 59 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 68 appearances. He can match his career high with five more points, though that may be a bit tougher to do from the third line over the last 12 contests of the season.
