The Avalanche have utilized a number of depth forwards for spot games here and there when injuries are a problem for the team.

Returns to minors Barre-Boulet was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.

Impact Barre-Boulet recorded an assist and two hits during Monday's 5-2 win over the Capitals, but he had a team-low 3:46 of ice time. It was his first appearance in the NHL in 2025-26, but he'll link back up with the Eagles in short order.

Up from minors Barre-Boulet was summoned from AHL Colorado on Monday.

Impact Barre-Boulet has 12 goals and 37 points in 36 outings with AHL Colorado in 2025-26. The Avalanche announced Valeri Nichushkin (upper body) would be a late scratch Monday versus Washington, so Barre-Boulet will likely draw into the lineup for his NHL season debut.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Three more assists Friday Barre-Boulet notched three assists in AHL Colorado's 5-4 shootout loss to San Diego on Friday.

Impact 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.

Trio of helpers in AHL win Barre-Boulet registered three assists in AHL Colorado's 5-2 win over Henderson on Saturday.

Impact Barre-Boulet is on a seven-game point streak, during which he has three goals and nine assists. For the season, the veteran forward has picked up nine goals and 19 helpers through 29 appearances.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Rattles off three points Barre-Boulet scored twice and added an assist in AHL Colorado's 6-1 win over Ontario on Saturday.

Impact Barre-Boulet continues to be steady for the Eagles with eight goals and 12 helpers over 24 appearances this season. He's a strong AHL scorer who has struggled to translate that to NHL success, and the Avalanche are healthy enough at forward to not have a need to call him up. The 28-year-old also didn't receive a promotion while the team was dealing with injuries, so he may struggle to get back to the NHL any time soon.

Pots pair for AHL club Barre-Boulet scored two goals in AHL Colorado's 5-2 win over Tucson on Sunday.

Impact Barre-Boulet continues to be among the most consistent AHL scorers, and he's up to six goals and 15 points through 18 outings this season. He's topped the 60-point mark in four of his eight campaigns in the AHL, and he could push for similar production this year. He's yet to show the same level of scoring in the NHL, and at 28 years old, he's unlikely to get a call-up unless the Avalanche face a rough stretch of injuries.

Impact These were Barre-Boulet's first two tallies of the season. He's added five assists and 26 shots on net over nine outings with the Eagles this year. The 28-year-old has some NHL experience with 70 games over parts of five seasons, but he drew into just two contests for the Canadiens last year. As such, it would likely take numerous injuries to the Avalanche's NHL roster for him to be considered for a call-up.

Impact Barre-Boulet played two games with Montreal, averaging 10:10 of ice time, before serving as a healthy scratch Saturday against the Senators. If he clears waivers, Barre-Boulet figures to remain with AHL Laval as a depth option.

OCTOBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets one-year deal Barre-Boulet signed a one-year contract with the Canadiens on Monday.

Impact The full financial details of Barre-Boulet's agreement weren't disclosed, but it's a one-way deal, so the 27-year-old will make the same amount regardless of whether he plays in the AHL or NHL. He had six goals and nine points across 36 regular-season outings with Tampa Bay in 2023-24. The Quebec native also provided four goals and 19 points in 23 regular-season appearances with AHL Syracuse. Barre-Boulet might make Montreal's roster out of training camp, but he'll probably be a frequent healthy scratch.

Waived Thursday Barre-Boulet was placed on waivers Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Barre-Boulet has six goals and nine points in 36 outings with Tampa Bay in 2023-24. If he clears waivers, he'll likely be sent to AHL Syracuse.

FEBRUARY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

More scratches than not Barre-Boulet has dressed in just five of Tampa Bay's 15 games in 2024.

Impact He has just two shots and three hits in those five contests, while skating limited ice time (6:31-11:50). Barre-Boulet is an undersized buzzsaw with offensive talent, but he needs lots of ice in a top-six situation to truly shine. He won't get that in Tampa Bay.

FEBRUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched against Florida Barre-Boulet was a healthy scratch Wednesday in a 3-2 loss to Florida.

Impact His ice time had dropped to under eight minutes in the previous two contests, so it's not really a surprise. Barre-Boulet is an offensive-minded forward who is best suited on the wing in the top six, but the Bolts deploy him on line four. He needs opportunity to knock for him to unleash his potential.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Finds scoresheet in loss Barre-Boulet scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Predators.

Impact Barre-Boulet scored Tampa's lone goal in the first period Thursday, one-timing a feed from Brandon Hagel to give the Lightning an early 1-0 lead. The goal is Barre-Boulet's first point since Nov. 7 -- the 26-year-old forward had been scoreless in his last nine games while serving as a healthy scratch in five contests. While Barre-Boulet can offer some scoring upside in the Lightning's top-six, it's hard to rely on consistent production at this point. He has five goals and eight points through 21 games this season.
