Avalanche's Samuel Girard: Dishes two assists
Girard logged two assists and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
Girard has earned three helpers over his last two games after going 10 contests without a point. His offense may continue to fluctuate, as the Avalanche's good health on the blue line has Girard in a third-pairing role. The 27-year-old has collected five helpers, 12 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, eight hits and a plus-5 rating across 17 appearances this season.

Avalanche's Jack Drury: Puts away goal in win
Drury scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
Drury had just one assist over 10 games since his last goal, which also came against Nashville on Nov. 22. The 25-year-old has shuffled down the lineup a bit now that the Avalanche are missing just Logan O'Connor (hip). Drury is centering the fourth line, though his faceoff and penalty-killing skills have earned him a little more ice time. He's up to five goals, 11 points, 40 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 32 outings this season.

Avalanche's Victor Olofsson: Tallies game-winner
Olofsson scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
Olofsson ended a 12-game goal drought with his second-period tally, which was the game-winner. He had just three assists during his slump. Olofsson is seeing time on the third line and second power-play unit, and while he can succeed there, it may be in bursts rather than consistent production. He's at seven goals, 19 points, 69 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 32 appearances. Without steady offense, he offers little to help fantasy managers.

Avalanche's Valeri Nichushkin: Fills empty cage
Nichushkin scored an empty-net goal on eight shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
Nichushkin has three goals and a helper over his last seven games. The 30-year-old winger is up to eight goals, 16 points, 62 shots, 23 hits and a plus-3 rating through 24 appearances. He's far away from being a leader scorer for the Avalanche, but Nichushkin's steady top-six usage makes him a reliable winger in fantasy.

Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Picks up two points in win
MacKinnon scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-3 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
By his standards this year, this was a fairly pedestrian performance for MacKinnon. He opened the scoring at 1:26 of the first period and set up Valeri Nichushkin's empty-netter in the third. MacKinnon has four goals and five assists over his last five games, a span that includes four multi-point efforts. His three shots Saturday were his fewest in a game since he had one Nov. 22 versus the Predators. The superstar center has 26 goals, 55 points, 150 shots, 24 hits and a plus-40 rating through 32 appearances.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Gets back in win column
Wedgewood stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
Wedgewood hadn't won since Nov. 23, going 0-0-2 over three outings in that span while missing some time with a recurring back issue. That injury concern could linger, but he's healthy for now and should continue to put together good performances whenever he's between the pipes. Wedgewood is up to 14-1-4 with a 2.11 GAA and a .920 save percentage over 21 starts. The Avalanche's next game is in Seattle on Tuesday, but head coach Jared Bednar may be looking to get back onto a goalie rotation that would see Mackenzie Blackwood in line for that start. If the rotation is reestablished, Wedgewood is lined up to start Friday at home versus the Jets.

Avalanche's Ronnie Attard: Distributes four helpers
Attard had four assists in AHL Colorado's 6-1 win over Ontario on Saturday.
Attard doubled his point total for the year with this performance. He's at one goal and seven assists over 18 appearances after being delayed by a lower-body injury in October. Attard's performance so far suggests he is unlikely to be an NHL option for the Avalanche this season.

Avalanche's Alex Barre-Boulet: Rattles off three points
Barre-Boulet scored twice and added an assist in AHL Colorado's 6-1 win over Ontario on Saturday.
Barre-Boulet continues to be steady for the Eagles with eight goals and 12 helpers over 24 appearances this season. He's a strong AHL scorer who has struggled to translate that to NHL success, and the Avalanche are healthy enough at forward to not have a need to call him up. The 28-year-old also didn't receive a promotion while the team was dealing with injuries, so he may struggle to get back to the NHL any time soon.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Expected to face Nashville
Wedgewood is set to start at home against Nashville on Saturday, per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.
Wedgewood has stopped 75 of 81 shots (.926 save percentage) across his past three appearances, but he's 0-0-2 over those outings. He's 13-1-4 with a 2.11 GAA and a .919 save percentage in 20 outings this year. Nashville ranks 26th in goals per game with 2.77.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Playing Saturday
Kiviranta (eye) will play Saturday versus the Predators, Meghan Angley of Guerilla Sports reports.
Kiviranta left Thursday's game against Florida after the opening period due to the injury. He has one goal and one assist with 21 hits in 14 games this season. He should see fourth-line duty as he is averaging 9:51 of ice time this season.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Questionable for Saturday
Kiviranta's upper-body issue is related to his eye. He's questionable for Saturday's game against Nashville, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports Friday.
Kiviranta left Thursday's 6-2 win over Florida due to the injury. If he can't play Saturday, then Zakhar Bardakov will probably serve on the fourth line.

Avalanche's Logan O'Connor: Still weeks from returning
O'Connor (hip) is still at least a week or two away from returning to the lineup, though it could be longer, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports Friday.
According to Masisak, the Avs will need that extra week or two to re-evaluate when the 29-year-old winger might be ready to get back into the lineup. Given that timeline, O'Connor shouldn't be expected back before the Christmas break, and possibly even into January. With such a lengthy layoff and a significant hip injury, O'Connor could be sent down to AHL Colorado for a conditioning assignment as the next step in his recovery.

Avalanche's Ilya Solovyov: On conditioning stint
Solovyov was sent to AHL Colorado on a conditioning stint Friday.
The 25-year-old has been a healthy scratch in each of the last 18 games. Solovyov has yet to hit the scoresheet in nine NHL games this season.

Avalanche's Samuel Girard: Pockets assist Thursday
Girard logged an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.
Girard ended a 10-game point drought in a game that saw 13 of the Avalanche's skaters get on the scoresheet. He set up Nathan MacKinnon's tally in the second period. Girard's lack of offense and the overall health of the blue line has led to the 27-year-old slipping into a third-pairing role with minimal power-play time. He's produced three helpers, 11 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 16 appearances this season.

Avalanche's Josh Manson: Adds pair of helpers
Manson logged two assists, three hits and two PIM in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.
Manson has been steady in December with five helpers over six games. The 34-year-old blueliner continues to handle a bottom-four role, providing a bit of grit to complement his teammates' skills. Manson is up to nine points, 42 shots on net, 81 hits, 43 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-19 rating over 31 appearances. His offense alone isn't fantasy-worthy, but his physical play could get him onto some rosters in formats that reward the rough stuff.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Pads lead with goal
Landeskog scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.
Landeskog ended a four-game point drought with the tally. The winger has eight points over six outings prior to this recent slump. The 33-year-old is now at six goals, 15 points, 62 shots on net, 41 hits, 21 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 31 appearances. Landeskog remains in a middle-six role and is seeing power-play time, so he should be able to help fantasy managers as a depth winger.

Avalanche's Artturi Lehkonen: Tallies in Thursday's win
Lehkonen scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.
Lehkonen has scored in back-to-back games and in three of six contests in December. The winger's pace has decreased a bit this month, but it's yet to cost him a spot on the top line. For the season, the 30-year-old has racked up 12 goals, 27 points, 80 shots, 21 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-27 rating through 31 appearances. Lehkonen remains a strong option for fantasy managers due to his placement alongside Nathan MacKinnon.
