Ilya Solovyov - Gets first point with Colorado Solovyov notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning.

Impact The helper was Solovyov's first point in 11 appearances for the Avalanche, who claimed him off waivers from the Flames before the start of the season. He's played in consecutive contests, filling in for Devon Toews (upper body), who is expected to be out at least a couple of weeks. The Avalanche haven't shown a lot of trust in Solovyov, but with injuries plaguing their forward group as well, they may not have the flexibility to bring up a defenseman to challenge Solovyov's spot in the lineup.

Overall, he's put up a career-best 18-3-4 record with two shutouts, 2.20 GAA and .917 save percentage so far this season.

Parker Kelly - Nets goal in loss Kelly scored a goal in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Impact It was Kelly's first goal in eight games. He has eight goals, six assists and 56 shots in 42 games, and he's just five points from equaling his career mark in points set last season. Kelly's eight goals equal his career high. He's a perfect depth piece on Colorado's fourth line, but he offers little to no fantasy value given the league depth at center.
