Avalanche's Ross Colton: Out Thursday
Colton (upper body) isn't expected to play Thursday versus Seattle, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.
Colton suffered the injury during Tuesday's game against Edmonton. He has eight goals and 23 points in 60 appearances in 2025-26. The Avalanche are expected to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen Thursday, which should result in Nick Blankenburg drawing back into the lineup.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Set to face Seattle
Wedgewood is expected to start on the road against Seattle on Thursday, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.
Wedgewood has a 24-4-5 record, 2.19 GAA and .916 save percentage in 35 appearances in 2025-26. He's won his past four outings while allowing just five goals on 102 shots (.951 save percentage). Seattle has lost its past three games while being outscored 14-8.

Avalanche's Valeri Nichushkin: Scores in Tuesday's loss
Nichushkin scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.
Nichushkin briefly tied the game with his third-period tally. The winger has two goals and an assist over his last four contests. For the season, he's up to 14 goals, 38 points, 122 shots on net, 44 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 54 appearances in a top-six role. Nichushkin should continue to see prime minutes while Gabriel Landeskog (lower body) and Artturi Lehkonen (upper body) are out on a week-to-week basis.

Avalanche's Martin Necas: Pots power-play goal
Necas scored a power-play goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.
Necas saw a six-game point streak snapped Sunday versus the Wild. The 27-year-old got right back to it with a first-period tally Tuesday, but the Avalanche weren't able to keep pace with the Oilers in this one. Necas set a career high with his 29th goal of the season. He's earned 77 points (17 on the power play), 155 shots on net, 67 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-42 rating through 60 appearances this season.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Yields four goals in loss
Blackwood stopped 20 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.
Blackwood was pulled from his last outing and wasn't able to get back in the win column this time. The 29-year-old couldn't slow down the Oilers' power play and top six, though he's far from the only goalie to struggle with that task. For the season, Blackwood is down to 18-7-1 with a 2.42 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 27 appearances. If he can't get his performance back on track soon, Scott Wedgewood could push for a larger share of playing time down the stretch. The Avalanche's next game is Thursday in Seattle.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Hurt in Tuesday's game
Colton sustained an upper-body injury in Tuesday's game versus the Oilers.
Colton was missing from the bench in the second period and ultimately got ruled out during the third. He scored a goal in the opening minute, snapping a nine-game point drought with his eighth tally of the season. More information on Colton's status should be available prior to the start of the Avalanche's two-game road trip, which kicks off in Seattle on Thursday.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Slated to start Tuesday
Blackwood is expected to guard the cage at home versus the Oilers on Tuesday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Although Blackwood has split the workload over the Avs' last three games, he has still featured in 10 of the club's last 14 outings. During that stretch, the 29-year-old netminder is 5-4-0 with a 2.50 GAA and one shutout. With just two more victories, Blackwood will get over the 20-win threshold for the second straight year.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: First point since return
Kiviranta logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.
This was Kiviranta's first point in his second game back from a concussion. The 29-year-old winger has eight points, 28 shots on net, 47 hits and a plus-1 rating over 32 appearances this season. After the Avalanche bolstered their forward group at the trade deadline, Kiviranta is likely to be limited to fourth-line minutes moving forward.

Avalanche's Nazem Kadri: Nabs helper in team debut
Kadri posted an assist, five shots on goal and three hits in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.
Kadri, a natural center, played on the wing in this contest. Given the Avalanche already have Nathan MacKinnon and Brock Nelson centering their first and second lines, Kadri may play on the wing often enough to gain fantasy eligibility there. Kadri is at 42 points, 180 shots on net, 40 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-26 rating over 62 appearances this season.

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Gets first goal for new team
Roy scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.
This was Roy's first goal for the Avalanche, and it comes in his second game since he was acquired from the Maple Leafs on Thursday. The 29-year-old now has six goals, 21 points, 59 shots on net, 62 hits and 32 blocked shots over 61 appearances this season. He has started his Colorado tenure as the team's third-line center, though he could also move to the wing if fellow trade acquisition Nazem Kadri gets moved to the middle.

Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Plays hero in shootout win
MacKinnon scored his league-leading 43rd goal of the season and also potted the shootout winner in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Wild.
The 30-year-old superstar opened the scoring midway through the second period, snapping a quick shot from the faceoff circle past Jesper Wallstedt, and MacKinnon then beat the young netminder again to his glove side in the fourth round of the shootout. The goal extended MacKinnon's point streak to seven games dating back to Feb. 4, the Avalanche's last game before the Olympic break. Over that stretch, he's racked up three goals and 13 points. His 104 points on the season are second only to Connor McDavid's 108.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Win streak at four
Wedgewood turned aside 32 of 34 shots in regulation and overtime and three of four shootout attempts during Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
The 33-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, and Wedgewood capped another strong performance with a big blocker save on Vladimir Tarasenko in the final round of the shootout. Wedgewood has won four straight outings, including one in relief of Mackenzie Blackwood, and he's allowed just five goals on 102 shots (.951 save percentage) during his win streak.

Avalanche's Logan O'Connor: Progressing in recovery
Head coach Jared Bednar said Sunday that O'Connor (hip) is progressing in his recovery and could return to game action soon, Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now reports.
While a clear timetable for O'Connor's return isn't yet clear, he at least seems to be in the mix to suit up for the Avalanche before the end of the regular season. The 29-year-old underwent hip surgery in June and hasn't yet made his season debut after suffering a setback in mid-November. Across 80 regular-season appearances with Colorado last year, O'Connor generated 10 goals, 11 assists, 68 hits, 50 blocked shots and 26 PIM while averaging 14:07 of ice time.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Deemed week-to-week
Landeskog (lower body) is week-to-week and won't play against Minnesota on Sunday.
Landeskog had two goals and five assists in six appearances after returning from the 2026 Winter Olympics, where he played for Team Sweden. He missed 14 straight NHL games before representing his country in the tournament because of an upper-body injury. Landeskog has nine goals, 29 points, 104 shots on net and 66 hits across 47 outings this season.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Set to face Wild
Wedgewood will patrol the home crease against Minnesota on Sunday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Wedgewood has won his last three outings, including a relief appearance in Friday's 5-4 shootout victory over Dallas. He has a 23-4-5 record this season with two shutouts, a 2.20 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 34 games. Minnesota is tied for 10th in the league with 3.32 goals per game this campaign.
