Alex Barre-Boulet - 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.

Ivan Ivan - Sent down after Monday's game Ivan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.

Impact Ivan received just 4:57 of ice time in Monday's 5-2 win over Washington. The 23-year-old has bounced between the NHL and AHL several times in January, and considering the Avalanche are dealing with a few injuries up front, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Ivan back up with the big club at some point in the near future.

Trent Miner - Logs shutout in AHL play Miner notched a 35-save shutout in AHL Colorado's 3-0 win over Henderson on Saturday.

Impact This was Miner's first shutout in 12 appearances at the AHL level this season. Due to various injuries to the Avalanche's goalies, he's spent a lot of time in the backup role in the NHL. He's 8-2-1 with a 2.22 GAA and a .919 save percentage in the AHL, so he's more than capable to handle the responsibility of being Colorado's organizational No. 3 goalie.
