Jack Ahcan - Four points in AHL win Tuesday Ahcan scored a goal and added three assists in AHL Colorado's 6-5 overtime win over Calgary on Tuesday.

Impact Ahcan made six appearances with the Avalanche earlier in the season thanks to a hot start with the Eagles combined with injuries on the NHL roster. The defenseman is heating up again with two goals and eight helpers over his last four contests in the AHL, which puts him in a good spot for a call-up should more injuries occur for the Avalanche. Ahcan has earned four goals, 19 points and a plus-13 rating across 20 appearances in the AHL this season.

Joel Edmundson - Rare power-play helper in loss Edmundson posted a power-play assist and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Edmundson picked up his second power-play helper of the year by assisting on Corey Perry's tally in the second period. That goal came with three seconds left with the man advantage. Edmundson remains rarely involved on the power play, and he won't be a steady source of offense in any situation, though he's on a career-best pace with 14 points over 38 contests this season. He's added 53 shots on net, 48 hits, 39 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a plus-5 rating, so he has some appeal in deep fantasy formats this year.

Joel Armia - Scores shortie in loss Armia scored a shorthanded goal and added two hits in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Armia's tally kept the Kings close in the third period, but the Avalanche scored two goals late to pull away. The 32-year-old winger has earned four goals, one assist and 16 shots on net over his last 10 contests while filling a bottom-six role. He's up to nine goals, 16 points (five shorthanded, one on the power play), 47 shots, 33 hits, 22 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 38 appearances. His offense isn't great, but Armia can provide category coverage for fantasy managers in deep formats.

Ross Colton - Bags apple Monday Colton notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Monday's 5-2 win over the Kings.

Impact Colton has had a quiet December, earning just two assists with 23 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-1 rating over 13 appearances this month. The 29-year-old can do better than that, but the Avalanche's current good health at forward has seen him slip into a bottom-six role. Colton is at 15 points, 80 shots, 88 hits and a plus-9 rating over 38 appearances this season and will be one of the Avalanche's most versatile options in the lineup.
