Avalanche's Alexandar Georgiev: Expected to start Wednesday
Georgiev is expected to be between the pipes for Wednesday's home game against the Kings, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
Georgiev has picked up wins in his last two starts, turning aside 55 of 61 shots (.902 save percentage) during that time. He'll attempt to maintain his momentum with a third consecutive home start Wednesday.

Avalanche's Nikita Prishchepov: Rejoining NHL club
Prishchepov was recalled from AHL Colorado on Wednesday.
Prishchepov was sent to the AHL on Monday but will rejoin the Avalanche after a brief stint with the Eagles. The 20-year-old has made five NHL appearances this year, tallying eight hits, three shots on goal and a blocked shot while averaging 7:52 of ice time.

Avalanche's T.J. Tynan: Recalled Wednesday
Tynan was called up by the Avalanche on Wednesday.
Tynan has four assists in six appearances with AHL Colorado in 2024-25. He also has dressed in six outings with the Avalanche this season, collecting an assist, two PIM, four shots, four hits and three blocks. Tynan will probably be in the lineup Wednesday as a member of the fourth line.

Avalanche's Miles Wood: Targeting Friday return
Wood (upper body) won't be an option against the Kings on Tuesday but is hoping to play in Friday's clash with Washington, Adrian Hernandez of Mile High Hockey reports.
Wood won't be the only reinforcement for the Avs, as they are expected to also get back Jonathan Drouin (upper body) and Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) on Friday. Unless the team is going to roll with eight blueliners Tuesday, Colorado will likely need to bring up a forward or two from the minors before puck drop. For his part, Wood figures to challenge for a middle-six role once up to full speed but could start out on the third line.

Avalanche's Jonathan Drouin: Might be ready for Friday
Drouin (upper body) will miss Wednesday's game against Los Angeles, but he might be an option Friday versus Washington, per Adrian Hernandez of Mile High Hockey.
Drouin hasn't played since Colorado's season opener Oct. 9 because of the injury. He had 19 goals and 56 points in 79 regular-season outings in 2023-24. Before getting hurt, Drouin began the campaign on the top line with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen, but because Artturi Lehkonen is healthy now and thriving (two goals and four points through four outings), Drouin might instead serve on the second line alongside Casey Mittelstadt and Logan O'Connor should he return Friday.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Still no timetable to return
Head coach Jared Bednar said Wednesday that Landeskog (knee) remains without a timetable to return, Adrian Hernandez of SBNation.com reports.
Landeskog has been dealing with a knee injury since September of 2022, and he underwent a cartilage transplant surgery in his right knee in May of 2023. The 31-year-old hasn't appeared in a game since June of 2022, and it's not yet clear when he'll return to action. Landeskog was skating over the summer, which led to optimism that he could return early in the 2024-25 campaign, but it's discouraging that he remains without a timetable to return after a month has elapsed in the regular season.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Chips in with assist
Kiviranta notched an assist, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Kiviranta snapped a seven-game drought when he assisted on a Mikko Rantanen tally in the second period. The 28-year-old Kiviranta continues to fill a second-line role, though his time in that spot could be nearing a close. The Avalanche's cavalry is coming, with Jonathan Drouin (upper body), Miles Wood (upper body) and Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) all possible to return by the end of this week. Kiviranta has five points, 21 shots on net, 28 hits and eight PIM across 16 appearances, and he should be able to hold onto a bottom-six role once the team is healthier at forward.

Avalanche's Samuel Girard: Scores game-winning OT goal
Girard scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Girard couldn't have chosen a better time to score his first goal of the season, as he took advantage of a breakaway to drill home the game-winning goal midway through OT. Girard has been productive of late, notching four points in his last four appearances. With nine points through 16 games, he's on pace to surpass his career high of 37 points in 76 games from 2022-23.

Avalanche's Devon Toews: First goal of season Monday
Toews scored a goal and blocked five shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Toews found the back of the net in the early stages of the second period following set-ups from Samuel Girard and T.J. Tynan. Even though Toews is a reliable presence on the blue line for the Avalanche, he has only four points in 12 regular-season outings. He'll need to pick up the pace substantially to reach the 50-point threshold for the fourth straight season.

Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Nets goal Monday
Rantanen scored a goal, added four shots on goal and blocked three shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over Nashville.
Rantanen has struggled a bit with consistency, as he hasn't cracked the scoresheet in four of his last 10 appearances, but he also has three multi-point efforts and 10 total points in that span. He has five goals over his last four games as well, and the star winger should continue to find ways to remain productive while skating alongside Nathan MacKinnon.

Avalanche's Alexandar Georgiev: Strong showing Monday
Georgiev stopped 29 of 31 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Georgiev was beaten early in the first and third periods, but he was impressive the rest of the way and posted one of his highest save percentages of the campaign. The 28-year-old netminder had a shaky start to the season but seems to be trending in the right direction of late, going 2-1-0 with a 2.33 GAA and a .922 save percentage across his last three starts.

Avalanche's T.J. Tynan: Sent down Monday
Tynan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.
The Avalanche are due to get a few forwards back soon, and Tynan will return to the Eagles as a result. The 32-year-old recorded an assist over six contests with the Avs.

Avalanche's Nikita Prishchepov: Sent to minors
Prishchepov was returned to AHL Colorado on Monday.
Prishchepov didn't record a point over five games with the Avalanche. With Jonathan Drouin (upper body), Miles Wood (upper body) and Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) expected to return in the near future, the 20-year-old Prishchepov will continue to develop his game with the Eagles.

Avalanche's Kaapo Kahkonen: Lands on waivers
Kahkonen was placed on waivers by the Avalanche on Monday.
The Avalanche have struggled to get solid play between the pipes early in the season, and Kahkonen had an opportunity to make an impact at home against the Lightning on Oct. 30. However, he struggled against Tampa Bay, allowing four goals on 20 shots (.800 save percentage) en route to the loss. He'll likely head to the minors if he goes unclaimed on waivers, and it seems unlikely that he'll see significant time in the NHL this year.

Avalanche's Alexandar Georgiev: Defending crease Monday
Georgiev will protect the home goal versus Nashville on Monday, according to Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports.
Georgiev will get his third straight start following a 27-save effort in Saturday's 6-4 win over Carolina. He has a 2-5-0 record with a 4.04 GAA and an .851 save percentage across eight appearances this campaign. Nashville is tied for 28th in the league with 2.47 goals per game in 2024-25.

Avalanche's Samuel Girard: Bags apple in win
Girard notched an assist in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.
Girard was credited with the secondary helper on Sam Malinski's tally in the second period. The helper was Girard's second in the last three games, a span in which he's added six shots on net, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. The 26-year-old is up to seven assists, 13 shots, 26 blocks, 12 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 15 contests overall.

Avalanche's John Ludvig: Gathers assist
Ludvig notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.
Ludvig was in the lineup over Calvin de Haan in Saturday's contest. While he earned his second assist over five games, Ludvig also saw a season-low 9:51 of ice time in the high-scoring contest, which suggests he didn't make a great impression to earn more playing time. The 24-year-old has added three shots on net, nine hits, three blocked shots and four PIM this season while spending most of the year in the press box.
