Avalanche's Christian Humphreys: Two goals in upset win
Humphreys scored twice in the University of Minnesota's 5-3 win over the University of North Dakota on Thursday.
These goals were his first points in five games in his return to college. Humphreys had a big year for OHL Kitchener last year with 85 points over 63 regular-season outings. Humphreys also saw a little collegiate action in 2024-25, earning one assist in 10 games for the University of Michigan. The 2024 seventh-rounder has taken an unconventional path in his development, but there's still some potential for him to become an effective depth player.

Avalanche's Logan O'Connor: Set to return Friday
O'Connor (lower body) will return for Friday's game against Tampa Bay, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
O'Connor had been trending toward a Friday return in recent days, and the Avalanche are set to activate him from long-term injured reserve ahead of their matchup against the Lightning. The 30-year-old recorded no goals, two assists, 11 hits, four PIM and three blocked shots while averaging 11:27 of ice time across 13 regular-season appearances with Colorado, and he's slated to take on a bottom-six role now that he's healthy.

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Won't play Friday
Roy (lower body) is expected to miss Friday's game against Tampa Bay, per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.
Roy also missed Colorado's past four games. He has two goals and four points in six appearances this campaign. When Roy is ready to return, he will likely serve in a bottom-six role.

Avalanche's Gavin Brindley: Heading back to AHL
Brindley was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Thursday.
Brindley will return to the Eagles after picking up an assist in his most recent game with the Avalanche. Overall, the 22-year-old forward posted one point, three shots on net and six hits across four appearances. He'll have a chance to return to the big club if the injuries to Zachary L'Heureaux (upper body) and Nicolas Roy (lower body) persist, but Brindley will likely see a much larger role with AHL Colorado this season, where he already has five points across four outings.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Four points in last five games
Landeskog scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-3 loss to the Devils.
Landy has four points (three goals, one helper) in his last five games. but he's still seeking his first multi-point night this season. Last year, Landeskog managed just 35 points (14 goals, 21 assists) in 60 games, but that's still a strong finish for a man who had just a difficult knee surgery and missed three full seasons. It's hard to get your rhythm back with that kid of absence.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Allows three goals in loss
Wedgewood made 37 saves in a 4-3 loss to the Devils on Tuesday.
He allowed three goals. Wedgewood was pulled for an extra attacker around the three-quarter mark of the third before the Devils popped in the eventual winner. His teammates roared back with two quick goals in the last three-plus minutes to make the score look closer than the game actually was. Wedgewood looked sharp, especially with the heavy volume of shots. But he's still clearly the backup with Mackenzie Blackwood getting the majority of starts. Wedgewood remains a decent option in dailies when he does slot into the paint -- he has a 1-1-1 record with a 2.65 GAA and sharp .912 save percentage.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: Two assists but no goals in five games
Makar set up two goals in a 4-3 loss to New Jersey on Tuesday.
He fired three shots and blocked four. Makar has two, two-point games in his last three contests, but he hasn't potted a goal in five contests. That wouldn't be noteworthy, per se, if he was your standard NHL QB. But Makar has 50 goals in his last two seasons and 71 across his last three. And two 90-plus point campaigns in that span. He'll bounce back up, but there may be a slight reduction in his output short term -- being a new dad is hard enough, but being the dad of twins born last Wednesday is enough to upset the cadence of game days and sleep cycles.

Avalanche's Artturi Lehkonen: Sits tied for second in league in goals
Lehkonen scored two goals on two shots in a 4-3 loss to the Devils on Tueday.
Don't look now, but Lehkonen is tied for second in the NHL in goals with eight (10 games). He also has three assists. And his point streak stands at five games and seven points (five goals, two helpers). But there's a but with Lehkonen that impacts his game on the ice and your trust in him. He has skated in one full season and that's it, and 2018-19 is a long time ago. Still, Lehkonen is worth the gamble because he hops the boards with the Avs' top line at 5v5 and works alongside Martin Necas and Gabriel Landeskog on the second power-play unit.

Avalanche's Martin Necas: Tallies in loss
Necas scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Flyers.
Necas has three goals and four assists over his last five outings. The 27-year-old winger is at five goals, six helpers, 20 shots, seven hits and a plus-3 rating through nine contests this season. He continues to thrive in a top-line role for the Avalanche as he tries to repeat the 100-point campaign he put up in the 2025-26 regular season.

Avalanche's T.J. Hughes: Lights lamp again Monday
Hughes scored his second goal of the season in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Flyers.
The rookie added two shots on net, one hit and a plus-1 rating to his ledger. Hughes has found the back of the net in back-to-back games, and through his first nine NHL contests the University of Michigan star has produced two goals and three points, and he's looking increasingly comfortable at the top level.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Stuck with third loss
Blackwood turned aside 21 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Flyers.
The 29-year-old goalie didn't get a lot of help, and Blackwood kept his team in the contest after Matvei Michkov's second goal gave the home side a 2-0 lead midway through the second period. Blackwood has started seven of the Avs' nine games to begin the season, going 4-3-0 with a 2.90 GAA and .889 save percentage, but Scott Wedgewood should be between the pipes Tuesday in New Jersey.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Starting in New Jersey on Tuesday
Wedgewood will defend the road cage against the Devils on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Wedgewood will get the start in the second half of Colorado's back-to-back, as Mackenzie Blackwood got the nod for Monday's game in Philadelphia. Wedgewood is operating as the clear-cut No. netminder to begin the season -- it will be just his third start of the season Tuesday. The Devils are 3-2-0 at home so far this year and have generated 3.13 goals per game, which is tied for 13th in the NHL.

Avalanche's Logan O'Connor: Expected to play Friday
O'Connor (lower body) is slated to play in Friday's matchup with Tampa Bay, Conor McGahey of Altitude TV reports.
O'Connor has yet to get into the lineup this season, sitting out the first eight games of the year. The 30-year-old winger will be out for another two, at which point he'll meet the requirement for reactivation after being on long-term injured reserve. Once given the all-clear, O'Connor figures to take on a bottom-six role for the Avs.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Tending twine against Philadelphia
Blackwood will start Monday's road game against Philadelphia, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
Blackwood has picked up wins in each of his last two starts, and he'll tend the twine for a second consecutive game Monday. Across his first six appearances of the regular season, the 29-year-old has gone 4-2-0 with a 2.87 GAA and .891 save percentage.

Avalanche's Axel Elofsson: Setting point-per-game pace in Allsvenskan
Elofsson has 13 assists over 13 games for IK Oskarshamn in the second-tier Swedish league HockeyAllsvenskan to begin 2026-27.
Elofsson was selected at the end of the fourth round in 2026 by the Avalanche. The 18-year-old defenseman is off to a positive start in a second-tier pro league. His skills were evident in Sweden's U20 league in 2025-26 when he had 41 points over 32 regular-season appearances, though he was held scoreless in six games for Orebro HK in the SHL last year. The main knock on Elofsson is being small, but that won't matter too much if he continues to develop well on offense.
