Mackenzie Blackwood - Activated off IR Blackwood (lower body) was activated off injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact After Trent Miner was reassigned to the AHL earlier Wednesday, Blackwood will rejoin the Avalanche ahead of Friday's contest against Nashville. Blackwood missed six games due to the lower-body injury, and he'll look to continue his elite season following his absence, as he has a 13-1-1 record, a 2.07 GAA and a .924 save percentage through 15 outings this season. Once he officially draws his next start, he'll aim to extend his seven-game win streak that began nearly a month before he picked his injury.

Trent Miner - Heads to minors Miner was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Wednesday.

Impact Miner has a 1-0-3 record, 2.03 GAA and .923 save percentage in four appearances with the Avalanche in 2025-26. His reassignment might be a sign that Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) is close to returning, but the Avalanche are off until Friday's home game against Nashville, so they have plenty of time to recall a goaltender before their next game.

Nikita Prishchepov - Picks up three points Prishchepov scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Colorado's 6-3 loss to Ontario on Tuesday.

Impact Prishchepov lost about six weeks at the start of the season while recovering from an undisclosed injury. He's done a fine job with the Eagles so far, earning two goals and eight assists across 16 outings, with five of those points coming over the last two games. He saw some time with the Avalanche in 2024-25, but it would take a number of injuries to get him in the mix this season.

Chase Bradley - Scores twice in AHL loss Bradley scored two goals in AHL Colorado's 6-3 loss to Ontario on Tuesday.

Impact Bradley missed over two months of action from early November to early January, but he's picked up four goals and an assist over four games since he returned. He's at seven points, 33 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 15 appearances this season.

Brock Nelson - Finds twine on power play Nelson scored a power-play goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Nelson put the Avalanche ahead 2-1 late in the first period, though Bobby McMann pulled Toronto level in the second. With 13 goals and 20 points over his last 17 games, Nelson has found his groove on the Avalanche's second line and first power-play unit -- he has earned nine of those points with the man advantage. The 34-year-old center is at 22 goals, 38 points (11 on the power play), 98 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 22 hits and a plus-11 rating through 45 appearances.

Ivan Ivan - Reassigned to minors Ivan was sent back to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

Impact Ivan will return to the AHL after a pair of quiet games where he averaged less than seven and a half minutes of ice time for the Avalanche. Through 30 games with the Colorado Eagles this season, he has two goals, six assists and 60 shots on net. He will likely suit up for the Eagles' games at the AHL level Tuesday and Wednesday before having a chance to return to the Avalanche ahead of Friday's contest due to the numerous injuries among the team's forward group.

Zakhar Bardakov - Sent down to AHL Bardakov was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

Impact After 32 games at the NHL level, Bardakov will take his first trip to the AHL following Tuesday's news. While he had just begun to produce points consistently with three helpers across his last four games, his inconsistency in finding the scoresheet during the months prior kept him in a limited role. The 24-year-old forward has shown promise in his first NHL season with eight points, but may need more time to retool his game in the minors before potentially rejoining the Avalanche later this season.

Trent Miner - Allowed four goals to Leafs Miner gave up four goals on 31 shots (.871 save percentage) in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Monday.

Impact Miner was given the second consecutive start after having blanked the Blue Jackets on Saturday but wasn't nearly as sharp. Once Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) returns to the lineup, the 24-year-old Miner will be headed back to AHL Colorado, where he figures to spend the rest of the 2025-26 campaign, barring additional injury concerns.

Cale Makar - Records two points Monday Makar scored a goal on two shots and picked up a power-play assist in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Monday.

Impact Makar has three multi-point games over his last six outings, generating two goals and six assists, including five with the man advantage. At his current pace, the offensively-gifted blueliner should be capable of reaching the 90-point threshold for the third consecutive year and could even challenge for 100.

Martin Necas - Scores goal, assist versus Leafs Necas scored a goal on five shots and generated an assist in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Monday.

Impact Necas has seven multi-point games in his last 16 outings, producing a combined seven goals and 11 helpers. During that stretch, only two of the winger's points have come with the man advantage despite him averaging 3:55 of power-play ice time.

Nathan MacKinnon - Garners trio of helpers MacKinnon racked up three assists in Monday's 4-3 loss to Toronto.

Impact MacKinnon has been boom or bust of late, generating six multi-point efforts in his last nine outings while being blanked in the other three. With 81 points in 45 games this year, the world-class center is on pace to top his career-best year from 2023-24 when he notched 140 points in 82 regular-season tilts.
