Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Gets no help in Winnipeg
Blackwood stopped 26 of 28 shots in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Jets, with Winnipeg's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
Winnipeg got a puck past him in each of the first two periods, with Blackwood having little chance at either, and the Avs were never able to solve Connor Hellebuyck in the other crease. It's Blackwood's first regulation loss since Dec. 16, and since making his debut with Colorado, the 28-year-old netminder has gone 8-2-1 in 11 outings with an outstanding 1.66 GAA and .939 save percentage.

Avalanche's Tye Felhaber: Returns to AHL
Felhaber was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Saturday.
Felhaber has no points over five contests at the NHL level, and he's seen minimal ice time in a fourth-line role. The 26-year-old could be involved in a paper transaction, but his lack of production could lead to different forwards being called up to fill out the Avalanche's roster for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Avalanche's Jere Innala: Sent down Saturday
Innala was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Saturday.
Innala has no points through 10 contests at the NHL level. The Avalanche have often made paper moves on depth forwards when they're at home, which they will be for the next five games, but Innala's lack of production could result in this particularly move being more permanent.

Avalanche's Calvin de Haan: Regaining playing time
De Haan played for the second game in a row in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Wild.
De Haan had been scratched for the prior four games. He may have a path to steady playing time if Samuel Girard (upper body) ends up being out for a while.

He has not gotten on the scoresheet since he had an assist Dec. 10 versus the Penguins.

Kiviranta notched an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Wild.
Kiviranta picked up his first point over five outings in January when he set up Parker Kelly's third-period tally.

The 28-year-old has a total of 14 points, 54 shots on net, 67 hits and a plus-8 rating over 43 games this season, playing on the third pairing without a spot on the power play.

The 33-year-old defenseman is up to 10 points, 40 shots on net, 73 hits, 43 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 31 contests this season.

Kelly scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Wild.
Kelly ended a six-game point drought when he tacked on a goal in the third period. The 25-year-old forward was on the fourth line Thursday, as the Avalanche opted to move Juuso Parssinen to center in a middle-six capacity. Kelly has typically played on the third line this season, racking up 10 points, 49 shots on net, 83 hits, 36 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 43 appearances.

He's picked up three goals and an assist over his last six games while filling a middle-six role. For the season, Colton is up to 13 goals, two assists, 66 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-1 rating through 26 outings.

Lehkonen scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Wild.
Lehkonen ended a four-game point drought with the third-period tally. The 29-year-old winger was back to a smaller role Thursday with Jonathan Drouin back in the lineup after he was rested Wednesday against the Blackhawks. Lehkonen is up to 15 goals, 21 points, 70 shots on net and a plus-15 rating over 31 appearances this season, and his goal Thursday was his first shorthanded point since the 2022-23 campaign.

Avalanche's Logan O'Connor: One of each in win
O'Connor scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Wild.
O'Connor ended a 13-game goal drought with the opening tally after he was sprung on a pass from Josh Manson. The 28-year-old O'Connor also ended up with his second multi-point performance of the season after helping out on a Parker Kelly goal in the third period. For the season, O'Connor has five goals, seven helpers, 49 shots on net, 41 hits, 17 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 43 appearances.

Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Reaches 60-point mark
Rantanen scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Wild.
Rantanen's goal stretched the Avalanche's lead to 3-1, and he also helped out on a Nathan MacKinnon tally in the third period. The 28-year-old Rantanen saw a 14-game point streak (nine goals, 14 helpers) end in Chicago on Wednesday, but has been held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests just once this year. That consistency has helped him reach the 60-point mark (25 goals, 35 assists) while adding 120 shots on net and a plus-13 rating through 43 outings this season.

Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Pair of points in Thursday's win

MacKinnon set up Mikko Rantanen's tally in the second period and then added a goal of his own in the third. This ended MacKinnon's seven-game goal drought, a span in which he still provided 11 assists. The 29-year-old superstar is up to 15 goals, 68 points, 163 shots on net and a plus-16 rating through 43 appearances this season. He has multiple points in three of seven contests since the holiday break, and that's not even the pinnacle of his abilities.
