Woll made 36 saves in a 6-4 win over the Ducks on Thursday.

It was Woll's first win since the Olympic break (1-4-0) and Toronto's, too -- they are 1-5-2 in that span. Things won't get easy any time soon. Captain Auston Matthews (knee) was knocked out of the game on a dirty hit by Radko Gudas, and his two-way skill will be sorely missed by his netminders.

Daccord stopped 12 of 15 shots in the first period of Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Daccord made his third straight start but struggled once again. He's allowed 13 goals on 78 shots in those games, losing all three, but he's had the majority of the playing time over Philipp Grubauer lately. Daccord is now 18-16-5 with a 2.92 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 39 starts this season. He can be trusted in favorable matchups, so he may find success in this weekend's back-to-back as the Kraken visit the Canucks on Saturday before hosting the Panthers on Sunday. Daccord and Grubauer will likely split those games.

Toews logged two assists and two PIM in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Toews snapped a four-game point drought with this effort, which was his second multi-point outing of the season. The defenseman had a hand in goals by Martin Necas and Nathan MacKinnon in the first period. For the season, Toews remains defensively steady despite a drop in offense. He's at 17 points, 90 shots on net, 64 blocked shots, 20 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-28 rating across 51 appearances.

Kiviranta scored a goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Kiviranta saw 14:20 of ice time Thursday, setting a season high for the second game in a row. He's getting a bigger role while the Avalanche are depleted by injuries on the wings. The 29-year-old is at three goals, nine points, 32 shots on net, 48 hits and a plus-2 rating across 34 appearances. Kiviranta may have a little extra appeal while seeing more ice time, but he won't come close to replicating the pace that saw him log 16 goals and 23 points in 79 regular-season outings a year ago.

Roy scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Roy has scored twice in four outings with the Avalanche. While he was brought in to help the team's center depth, he played on the wing of Jack Drury in this contest. Roy is among the most versatile players on the roster, so he can move around as necessary to give head coach Jared Bednar new combinations. Roy is at seven goals (two on the power play), 22 points, 64 shots on net, 63 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 63 appearances between the Avalanche and the Maple Leafs this season.

Maccelli had a goal and two assists Thursday in a 6-4 win over the Ducks.

Maccelli opened the scoring after he stole the puck from Jackson LaCombe at the Toronto blue line, carried the puck through the neutral zone and went low blocker from the top of the right circle. Macelli has eight points (four goals, four assists) in his last seven games, and 32 points, including 18 assists, in 55 games this season.

Kadri scored a goal on two shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Kadri has two points over his first three games to begin his second stint with the Avalanche. The 35-year-old forward has been playing on the wing, and he was alongside Nathan MacKinnon in this contest. If that role holds for Kadri, he could be poised for a big run late in the season. He has 13 goals, 43 points, 183 shots on net, 42 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-24 rating over 64 appearances between Colorado and Calgary this season.

Necas scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Necas' tally opened the scoring just 3:45 into the game. It was his 30th goal of the season, including eight tallies to go with nine assists over his last nine outings. The 27-year-old has cemented his star status in 2025-26, producing 79 points (17 on the power play), 156 shots on net, 68 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-45 rating across 61 appearances in a top-line role.

MacKinnon scored a goal on four shots, added three assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

One of MacKinnon's helpers came on the power play. The 30-year-old saw his seven-game point streak snapped after he was ejected in Tuesday's contest against the Oilers, but he made up for lost time in this outing. For the season, the superstar center has 44 goals, 108 points (25 on the power play), 285 shots on net, 48 hits, 31 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a plus-58 rating through 63 appearances.

Wedgewood stopped 28 of 29 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Wedgewood picked up his fifth win in a row with this performance. In that span, he's allowed just six goals on 131 shots. The 33-year-old's lone misstep Thursday came on Ryker Evans' shorthanded tally in the second period, which was the product of a Colorado turnover. Wedgewood improved to 25-4-5 with a 2.16 GAA and a .918 save percentage over 36 appearances. The Avalanche visit the Jets on Saturday.
