Sam Malinski - Distributes trio of helpers Malinski notched three assists, three shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 6-5 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Malinski set up tallies by Samuel Girard, Martin Necas and Nathan MacKinnon in this contest. The 27-year-old Malinski has had a few good moments this year despite playing on the third pairing with minimal power-play usage. He's earned a goal and eight assists over 12 outings in December. For the season, the blueliner has 21 points (three goals, 18 assists), 64 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 19 hits and a plus-19 rating over 37 contests.

Artturi Lehkonen - Forces overtime Saturday Lehkonen scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-5 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Lehkonen tallied with 1:57 left in the third period to force overtime, allowing the Avalanche to escape with a shootout win after they never led during the contest. The 30-year-old winger has four goals and an assist over his last eight games, but he's off the first line, which could lead to inconsistent offense until the team's next line shuffle. Lehkonen is at 14 goals, 30 points, 93 shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-33 rating across 37 appearances this season, putting him on pace for the first 60-point campaign of his career.
DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Samuel Girard - Earns pair of points Girard scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Saturday's 6-5 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Girard has found his groove with three goals and five assists over his last seven games. The defenseman got the Avalanche on the board at 5:19 of the second period and also helped out on Martin Necas' tying tally a few minutes later. Girard is up to 10 points, 20 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 22 appearances. While he's on the third pairing and doesn't get much power-play time, Girard's recent play and his presence on a high-scoring team could still earn him some interest in deeper fantasy formats.

Nathan MacKinnon - Racks up three points in win MacKinnon scored a goal on nine shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-5 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Impact MacKinnon saw an eight-game point streak end before the holiday break. He bounced right back after getting some rest, earning his 11th multi-point effort in his last 15 contests. The 30-year-old superstar has 14 goals and 13 helpers in that span, and he's at 31 tallies, 33 assists, 171 shots on net and a plus-47 rating across 37 appearances on the year. MacKinnon has been consistently excellent throughout 2025-26 and could end up with a career year if he keeps up the pace in the second half.
DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Martin Necas - Nets two goals in shootout win Necas scored twice on four shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-5 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Necas has four goals over his last four games, and he's up to five goals and 11 helpers over 12 outings in December. The 26-year-old is up to 18 goals, 49 points, 83 shots on net, 35 hits and a plus-37 rating through 37 appearances. Necas is on pace to top the 100-point mark for the first time in his career as a vital part of the Avalanche's relentless offense.
DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Scott Wedgewood - Escapes with shootout win Wedgewood stopped 20 of 25 shots in Saturday's 6-5 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Impact This was Wedgewood's worst game of the year, which is impressive considering he was not expected to be much more than an average backup. Even with less than his best, he still came away with a fourth straight win. He's up to 17-1-4 with a 2.13 GAA and a .919 save percentage over 24 starts this season. Prior to the holiday break, Wedgewood and Mackenzie Blackwood alternated starts, though that rotation was reset coming out of the break with Wedgewood making consecutive starts for the first time since Nov. 16-20. Expect Blackwood to get the start Monday versus the Kings, while Wedgewood would tentatively get the nod at home versus the Blues on Wednesday if the pattern resumes.

Zakhar Bardakov - No place in lineup Bardakov was scratched for the sixth straight game in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Mammoth.
Impact Bardakov was a regular while the Avalanche were trying to get to full health earlier in the year, but the 24-year-old has lost his place with the team missing just Logan O'Connor (hip) up front. Bardakov will have to wait for more players to be absent before he can add to his totals of five points, 16 shots on net and 22 hits in 25 games this season.
