Jaden Schwartz - NHL News & Rumors

Adds pair of helpers Schwartz logged two assists (one on the power play), two hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Kings.

Impact Schwartz was a bit of a splash in free agency for the Avalanche, but he opened the campaign on a line with young forwards Fedor Svechkov and T.J. Hughes. There's no guarantee that's where he'll be all year, but it could limit Schwartz's production in the early going, despite his positive team debut. Schwartz also carries a significant injury risk, having missed 20-plus games in three of the last five campaigns.

Collects three points Schwartz scored a goal, added two assists and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-2 preseason win over the Jets.

Impact Schwartz is penciled into a middle-six role and a spot on the second power-play unit for the Avalanche to begin the season. The 34-year-old winger's biggest challenge will be staying healthy -- he's missed at least 11 games in four of the last five campaigns, and at least 20 games in three of those years. Schwartz can contribute around a 40-point pace if he stays in the lineup, though the move from Seattle to Colorado could also give his offense a boost.

Impact Schwartz missed the final two games of the Kraken's season due to his injury, but he certainly has had plenty of time to recover during the offseason. The veteran winger signed a three-year, $9.75 million contract with Colorado on the opening day of free agency in July, so he will likely play an important role in the team's middle six for the foreseeable future. As long as Schwartz isn't a fourth-line player, he should have plenty of chances to contribute to the scoresheet on one of the league's best offenses, which would make him a fine depth option in most formats for the 2026-27 season.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Agrees to terms with Colorado Schwartz (upper body) signed a three-year, $9.75 million contract with the Avalanche on Wednesday, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports.

Impact After spending the first 10 years of his career in St. Louis, Schwartz joined the Kraken for the past five seasons. He made just 50 regular-season appearances during an injury-riddled 2025-26 campaign, recording 11 goals, 15 assists, 42 blocked shots, 32 hits and eight PIM while averaging 16:08 of ice time. The 34-year-old will get a change of scenery ahead of the 2026-27 season, and he should have an opportunity to carve out a role in Colorado.

Collects two points in loss Schwartz scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Both of Schwartz's points came in the third period, but the Kraken weren't able to catch up to the Blackhawks. These were Schwartz's first points in three games since he returned from a skate cut to the face. The winger is up to 11 goals, 23 points, 76 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 45 appearances. It's another year impacted by injuries -- Schwartz has missed at least 15 games in four of the last six years, which has made him a challenging forward to consider in fantasy on a low-scoring team.

Impact Schwartz was cut on his face late in the first period after Nick Cousins lost his balance following a hit from Eeli Tolvanen. For now, Schwartz can be considered day-to-day, though it's not encouraging that he was ruled out for the rest of this contest.
