Scott Wedgewood - Set to start Tuesday Wedgewood is slated to start Tuesday's road game against Columbus, Colleen Flynn of Mile High Sports reports.

Impact Mackenzie Blackwood has been named the starter for Monday's road matchup against Chicago, so Wedgewood is set to defend the crease in the second half of the back-to-back set. Across Wedgewood's four appearances to begin the 2026-27 campaign, he's gone 1-2-1 with a 3.49 GAA and .889 save percentage.

Mackenzie Blackwood - Between pipes against Chicago Blackwood will start Monday's road game against Chicago, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Blackwood has picked up wins in each of his last three starts, posting a 2.34 GAA and .916 save percentage during that time. He'll draw a third consecutive start Monday and will have a favorable matchup against the Blackhawks, who have recorded just 2.21 goals per game to begin the regular season, which is the second-worst mark in the league.

Logan O'Connor - Set to play Monday O'Connor (personal) is expected to play against Chicago on Monday, according to Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.

Impact O'Connor missed Saturday's 5-2 win over Calgary to attend his father's memorial service. The 30-year-old Avalanche forward hasn't earned a point in three outings this season, but he has collected six shots on net, one hit and six PIM.

Keaton Middleton - Called up Monday Middleton was recalled from AHL Colorado on Monday.

Impact Middleton was sent down by the Avalanche ahead of the regular season, but he'll rejoin the NHL club to provide additional depth ahead of Colorado's back-to-back set that includes a game against Chicago on Monday and a matchup against Columbus on Tuesday. Across his first 11 appearances with the AHL club this year, Middleton has recorded an assist, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating.

Beckett Hamilton - Two goals in Sunday's WHL win Hamilton scored a pair of goals in WHL Red Deer's 3-2 overtime win over Edmonton on Sunday.

Impact Hamilton tied the game in the third period and scored in overtime to seal the win. He's gotten back on track after a brief slump, earning four goals and two assists over his last three games. For the season, he has 26 points over 14 appearances. The Avalanche prospect should continue to provide steady offense for a Red Deer team challenging for the top of the WHL standings.

Avalanche visit the Blackhawks after Lehkonen's 2-goal game

The Colorado Avalanche visit the Chicago Blackhawks after Artturi Lehkonen scored two goals in the Avalanche's 5-2 win against the Calgary Flames

Devon Toews - Gathers pair of helpers Toews recorded two assists, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Toews is rolling with two goals and four assists during a four-game point streak. That's his best stretch of the season, but the 32-year-old defenseman has provided reliable scoring throughout the campaign. He's at four goals, nine helpers, 22 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 14 appearances. Toews' offense was too low last year, and it's too high right now -- expect a slowdown to come at some point, though he still offers enough with shots, hits and blocks to maintain good fantasy value.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Cale Makar - Distributes four helpers in win Makar registered four assists, three shots on goal and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Makar has always been good against his hometown team, but he's taken it up a notch lately. He has at least three points in each of his last four games against the Flames, with Saturday's four-point performance being his best effort in the matchup. For the season, he's at three goals, 12 helpers, 37 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 13 appearances. He's earned just two of his helpers on the power play and should be able to be more productive in that situation as the season progresses.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Brock Nelson - Pots goal in Saturday's win Nelson scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Nelson had gone six games without a goal, adding just two assists in that span. Despite the sluggish pace on offense recently, he remains in a second-line role. The veteran center now has four goals, five assists, 27 shots on net, 10 blocked shots, six hits and a plus-3 rating through 14 appearances.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Nathan MacKinnon - Goal, assist in victory MacKinnon scored a goal on five shots, added a power-play assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact MacKinnon has earned three goals and five assists over his four-game point streak. He's logged multiple points in eight of 14 contests this season as he continues to power the Avalanche's offense from the top line. He's up to nine tallies, 15 helpers, 57 shots, 12 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 14 appearances on the year.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Necas - Picks up pair of points Necas scored a power-play goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-4 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Necas has racked up seven points over his last four outings. The 27-year-old is up to seven goals, 11 helpers, 30 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-11 rating over 14 appearances. Necas has earned just three of his 18 points on the power play as the Avalanche continue to struggle while up a man. If the team improves in that situation, Necas' offense could spike a little higher.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Artturi Lehkonen - Tallies twice in win Lehkonen scored two goals on four shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Lehkonen's point streak up up to nine games, and he has nine goals and four assists in that span. Life on the Avalanche's top line is serving the winger well in his contract year. He's scored 12 goals while adding five assists, 28 shots on net, 13 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 14 appearances. No player is good enough to sustain a 42.9 shooting percentage, but it's safe to assume Lehkonen's production won't just fall off a cliff since he's playing alongside one of the best players in the league.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Mackenzie Blackwood - Gives up two goals in win Blackwood stopped 25 of 27 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Blackwood and the Avalanche were in firm control of this game from the start. He picked up his third straight win with this effort, allowing just seven goals on 83 shots in that span. For the season, Blackwood has a 7-3-0 record with a 2.73 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 10 starts. With Scott Wedgewood struggling to match last year's success, Blackwood is likely to continue handling a majority of the starts. Both goalies should get a look during the Avalanche's two-game road trip, which features stops in Chicago on Monday and in Columbus on Tuesday. Both games are great matchups for fantasy managers looking for wins.

Christian Humphreys - Buries pair of goals Humphreys scored twice in the University of Minnesota's 4-3 overtime win over Penn State on Saturday.

Impact Humphreys has amassed five goals and an assist over eight outings this season. He's off to a positive start in his return to the NCAA after a year and a half in the OHL. Humphreys will likely need at least a couple of seasons in the AHL to continue his development once his collegiate career is over.

Mackenzie Blackwood - Patrolling home net Blackwood is set to draw Saturday's home start against the Flames, per Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports.

Impact Blackwood will don his mask on Halloween against the Flames, where he'll look to extend his current win streak to three games. Overall, the 29-year-old backstop has a 6-3-0 record, a 2.81 GAA and an .894 save percentage across nine appearances this season. Given the combination of his recent success and Calgary's ranking as the 27th-best offense with 2.62 goals per game this season, Blackwood is positioned as one of the top starts in all fantasy formats for Saturday's Halloween slate.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Logan O'Connor - Sitting out Saturday's clash O'Connor (personal) will not play in Saturday's home clash against the Flames, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

Impact O'Connor will get Saturday's clash off as he continues to mourn the loss of his father, Myles. The 30-year-old winger was recently given the all clear from his lower-body injury and has played in three games this season. In his absence Saturday, Gavin Brindley will take his spot on the team's fourth line. Expect O'Connor to have a solid chance to play in Monday's road clash against the Blackhawks.
