Colorado Avalanche News

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.

Martin Necas - Finds twine in loss Necas scored a goal on two shots, blocked three shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Predators.

Impact Necas has three goals and two assists over his last four contests. His tally Friday got the Avalanche back within a goal early in the third period, but they couldn't tie the game. The 27-year-old is up to 22 goals, 58 points, 107 shots on net, 48 hits, 26 PIM, 17 blocked shots and a plus-39 rating over 46 appearances. Necas is well on his way to a career year, though he could regress a bit from his 20.6 shooting percentage.

Brock Nelson - Two more goals in loss Nelson scored two goals on four shots, blocked two shots and went minus-3 in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Predators.

Impact Nelson provided the answers to the first two of Ryan O'Reilly's goals, but the Avalanche couldn't keep pace after the first period. The 34-year-old Nelson is in the midst of a sizzling stretch, where he has 11 goals and seven assists over 12 contests. For the season, he's up to 24 goals, 40 points, 102 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 46 appearances.

Mackenzie Blackwood - Stunned by Nashville Blackwood gave up five goals on 28 shots in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Predators. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Impact Blackwood's return from a lower-body injury didn't go as planned, as he instead had his worst outing of the season. Prior to the injury, he had rattled off seven straight wins, allowing a total of 13 goals in that span. The 29-year-old netminder is likely set to resume sharing the crease with Scott Wedgewood moving forward, though the Avalanche's recent shaky play could open the door for one goalie or the other to claim more of a starting role with a hot streak. Blackwood is 13-2-1 with a 2.26 GAA and a .917 save percentage over 16 appearances. The Avalanche are set to host the Capitals on Monday.

Ivan Ivan - Sent back down Ivan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Friday.

Impact Ivan played in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Predators but didn't record a point. The 23-year-old has shuffled between leagues frequently as the Avalanche look to accrue cap savings and also make sure young players continue to get plenty of ice time in the AHL. The Avalanche's next game is Monday versus the Capitals, so Ivan should have no trouble getting the necessary appearance with the Eagles before potentially getting another recall.

Ross Colton - Playing Friday Colton (upper body) will be in the lineup versus the Predators on Friday, Conor McGahey of Altitude TV reports.

Impact Colton was in doubt for Friday's clash but seems to be good to go after shaking off his upper-body issue. The 29-year-old forward will be the veteran piece of the Avs' fourth line alongside Ivan Ivan and Zakhar Bardakov. Without a role further up the depth chart, Colton is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value at best.

Mackenzie Blackwood - Set to start Friday Blackwood is slated to defend the home crease against the Predators on Friday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Blackwood missed the last six games due to a lower-body injury, but he was activated off injured reserve Wednesday and has been officially cleared to return two days later. The 29-year-old has been stellar for the Avalanche when healthy this year, going 13-1-1 with a 2.07 GAA and .924 save percentage over 15 appearances.

Ivan Ivan - Called up from AHL Ivan was recalled from AHL Colorado on Friday.

Impact The Avalanche are hurting up front as Ross Colton missed practice Thursday with an upper-body injury, leaving the team with 10 healthy forwards, necessitating the recall of Ivan. The 23-year-old Ivan has one assist in five NHL games this season and will likely see fourth-line minutes Friday versus Nashville.
