Avalanche's Alex Barre-Boulet: Three more assists Friday
Barre-Boulet notched three assists in AHL Colorado's 5-4 shootout loss to San Diego on Friday.
Barre-Boulet has logged four multi-point efforts during his nine-game point streak. He has a total of four goals and 12 assists in that span. For the season, the 28-year-old forward is up to 10 goals and 22 helpers through 31 outings. Given his recent success, it wouldn't be shocking for the Avalanche to give him a look at the NHL level while the big club is dealing with multiple forward injuries.

Avalanche's Ross Colton: Distributes three helpers
Colton notched three assists, four shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Senators.
Colton had been limited to just three helpers over his previous 17 games before matching that output in this huge win. The 29-year-old helped out on goals by Josh Manson, Brent Burns and Brock Nelson. Colton has filled a middle-six role this season, earning five goals, 14 helpers, 94 shots on net, 93 hits and a plus-12 rating across 43 outings.

Avalanche's Brent Burns: Tallies in Thursday's win
Burns scored a goal on five shots, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Senators.
Burns had been limited to one assist over eight contests since the end of his six-game point streak. The 40-year-old defenseman isn't relied on to be a leader on offense from the back end anymore, but he can still chip in a decent share. He's logged six goals, 21 points, 93 shots on net, 53 blocks, 18 PIM and a plus-23 rating across 43 appearances this season in a top-four role.

Avalanche's Martin Necas: Goal, assist in blowout win
Necas scored a power-play goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Senators.
Necas had gone four games without a goal, and two contests without a point, entering Thursday's action. The 26-year-old winger is up to 20 goals, 55 points, 97 shots on net, 46 hits and a plus-39 rating over 43 appearances this season. Necas is still in position to push for his first 100-point campaign as a part of the Avalanche's high-flying offense.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: Three-point effort in big win
Makar scored a goal and added two power-play assists in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Senators.
Makar's goal stood as the game-winner, and he added secondary helpers on goals by Martin Necas and Brock Nelson during the Avalanche's onslaught of offense in the second period. The 27-year-old Makar has three goals and eight helpers over his last nine outings. For the season, the superstar defenseman is up to 13 goals, 38 helpers, 119 shots on net, 74 blocked shots and a plus-30 rating over 43 appearances. He's the first blueliner to cross the 50-point threshold in 2025-26.

Avalanche's Brock Nelson: Surge continues with three points
Nelson scored twice and added an assist in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Senators.
Nelson's first goal was a power-play tally that helped him secure his fifth-straight 20-goal season. The 34-year-old is on a tear with seven goals and five assists over his last seven outings. The center is now at 21 tallies, 37 points (10 on the power play), 93 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 43 appearances this season.

Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Rings up four points again
MacKinnon scored a goal on five shots and dished three assists in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Senators.
Two of MacKinnon's helpers came on the power play. This was his third four-point effort in the last five games, though he had been held off the scoresheet in the last two matchups versus the Panthers and Lightning. The superstar center has rarely been quiet for long this season, accumulating a stunning 36 goals, 42 assists, 197 shots on net and a plus-48 rating through 43 appearances.

Avalanche's Josh Manson: Two of each in win
Manson scored twice on five shots, added two assists, went plus-5, logged seven PIM, doled out three hits and blocked four shots in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Senators.
It's safe to say this was Manson's best game of the season, if not his whole career. He came a fight away from the NHL's first double Gordie Howe hat trick, though it makes sense that he didn't take any unnecessary risks for his health in a blowout win. The 34-year-old defenseman hadn't scored since Nov. 26, but he's been a steady source of helpers, hits and PIM lately, earning 11 assists, 23 PIM and 44 hits over the previous 17 contests, not including his epic performance Thursday. Overall, the blueliner is at four goals, 19 points, 62 shots on net, 58 PIM, 107 hits, 60 blocked shots and a plus-32 rating through 43 outings in 2025-26.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Easy win Thursday
Wedgewood stopped 29 of 31 shots in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Senators.
Wedgewood did more than well enough as the Avalanche's offense erupted with a six-goal second period to make it easy for their goalie. The 33-year-old had lost consecutive games in regulation for the first time this season entering this contest. He's now 19-3-4 with a 2.19 GAA and a .917 save percentage over 28 starts. Wedgewood will continue to patrol the crease regularly while Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) is on injured reserve, so it's safe to assume Wedgewood will get the nod versus the Blue Jackets on Saturday.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Sent down after game
Ivan was reassigned to AHL Colorado after Thursday's 8-2 win over the Senators.
Ivan was up to help replenish the Avalanche's forward depth, which has been hit by some medium-to-long-term injuries. His demotion leaves the Avalanche with just 11 healthy forwards, but it's possible a different player will be called up ahead of Saturday's game versus the Blue Jackets.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Is week-to-week
Kiviranta (lower body) is considered week-to-week, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports Thursday.
Kiviranta is still expected to be ready for the Olympics, which does emphasize that his time on the shelf will be measured in weeks, not months. The Finnish forward has a goal and four points in 21 outings in 2025-26. Zakhar Bardakov is likely to remain in the lineup while Kiviranta is unavailable.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Won't play Thursday
Kiviranta (lower body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Senators, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
Kiviranta didn't travel with the Avalanche during their recent road trip, and he'll remain sidelined as the team returns home Thursday. However, head coach Jared Bednar said Thursday that Kiviranta is expected back well before the Olympic break, so the 29-year-old seems unlikely to be facing a long-term absence.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Guarding cage Thursday
Wedgewood will be between the home pipes versus Ottawa on Thursday, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Summoned from AHL
ivan was recalled from AHL Colorado on Thursday.
Ivan was with the Avalanche for a three game stint in late November, picking up one assist. The 23-year-old has spent most of the season in the AHL, scoring twice and adding six assists in 28 games. The Avalanche are down to 11 healthy forwards, and Ivan could enter the lineup on the fourth line with Parker Kelly and Zakhar Bardakov, if Joel Kiviranta (lower body) is not ready to play.

Avalanche's Ilya Solovyov: Gets first point with Colorado
Solovyov notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning.
The helper was Solovyov's first point in 11 appearances for the Avalanche after being claimed off waivers from the Flames before the start of the season. He's played in consecutive contests, filling in for Devon Toews (upper body), who is expected to be out at least a couple of weeks. The Avalanche haven't shown a lot of trust in Solovyov. However, with injuries plaguing their forward group as well, they may not have the flexibility to bring up a defenseman to challenge Solovyov's spot in the lineup.

Avalanche's Zakhar Bardakov: Manages helper in loss
Bardakov notched an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning.
Bardakov has played in four straight games since injuries started to pile up again for the Avalanche. The 24-year-old remains in a fourth-line role, which will continue to limit his scoring potential. He's up to six points, 19 shots on net, 27 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 29 appearances this season.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Loses in tight contest

Overall, he's put up a career-best 18-3-4 record with two shutouts, 2.20 GAA and .917 save percentage so far this season. Wedgewood will carry a heavy load with Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) on the shelf again. The Avs play at home Thursday against Ottawa and Saturday against Columbus.
