Promoted from minors Miner was recalled from AHL Colorado on Wednesday.

Impact Miner's elevation to the NHL roster comes as Scott Wedgewood is currently dealing with a back injury. If needed, Miner figures to serve as the No. 2 option behind Mackenzie Blackwood against the Islanders on Thursday. Depending on how long Wedgewood is out, Miner could see action during an upcoming back-to-back versus the Rangers and Flyers on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

Goes on waivers Miner was put on waivers Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact While filling in as Scott Wedgewood's backup to begin the 2025-26 NHL season, Miner posted a record of 0-0-2 while surrendering four goals on 44 shots in two appearances. The Avalanche will have Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) back in the lineup in Tuesday's home matchup versus New Jersey, so the 24-year-old Miner will report to AHL Colorado if he clears waivers.

Inefficient in defeat Miner stopped 20 of the 24 shots he faced during Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Devils.

Impact All things considered, the 24-year-old did alright being thrown to the wolves in his first NHL start this season. It didn't begin great for Miner, who allowed two goals in the first 10 minutes of the game, but he did enough to get the Avalanche to overtime and earn a point against the league-leading Devils. It remains to be seen whether or not the young netminder will get another start before Mackenzie Blackwood returns from injury.

Perfect in relief until shootout Miner stopped all 20 shots he faced in relief of Scott Wedgewood in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Miner came in during the first period after Wedgewood gave up four goals on 11 shots. This was a strong performance for Miner, but he took a shootout loss when Seth Jarvis tallied the lone goal for the Hurricanes in the skills competition. Miner is winless over his three NHL appearances, and his time with the big club could be nearing a close, as Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) seems to be close to returning to action.

Staying with club Miner inked a two-year contract with Colorado on Monday.

Impact Miner put together a fantastic campaign with AHL Colorado this season, going 22-10-6 with a .918 save percentage and 2.12 GAA in 38 regular-season contests. Selected by the Avs in the seventh round of the 2019 NHL Draft, the 24-year-old backstop faces an uphill battle to becoming an NHL netminder.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Back in AHL Miner was loaned to AHL Colorado on Saturday.

Impact Miner was the backup netminder this week to Mackenzie Blackwood, as Scott Wedgewood was on the sidelines with an upper-body injury. The Avalanche don't play again until Feb. 22 with the NHL taking a break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Miner has allowed four goals on 33 shots in a pair of NHL appearances this season.

Set for promotion Miner will be recalled from AHL Colorado prior to Sunday's game versus the Flyers.

Comes up short in first start Miner turned aside 17 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Chicago.

Impact The rookie goalie was beaten once in each period in his first career NHL start, while his offense had trouble solving Petr Mrazek in the other crease. Miner may not see any more action before returning to AHL Colorado -- the Avs don't play another back-to-back set until the final weekend of January, but Scott Wedgewood (lower body) figures to be back by then to back up Mackenzie Blackwood.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Set to make first NHL start Miner will make his first NHL start during Wednesday's road game against Chicago, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Miner made his NHL debut in mid-November and turned aside 12 of 13 shots (.923 save percentage) in relief during a loss to the Capitals. He was recalled by the Avalanche on Friday since Scott Wedgewood (lower body) was placed on injured reserve, and Miner will make his first NHL start in a favorable matchup, as the Blackhawks are averaging just 2.53 goals per game this season, which is tied for the second-worst mark in the league.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Up from minors Miner will be called up by the Avalanche, Meghan Angley of Guerilla Sports reports Friday.

Impact Miner has a 2.47 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 16 appearances with AHL Colorado in 2024-25. He's being recalled because Scott Wedgewood is dealing with a lower-body injury. Mackenzie Blackwood figures to get the majority of the starts during Wedgewood's absence, but Miner might play between the pipes during the Avalanche's upcoming back-to-back in Chicago on Wednesday and in Minnesota on Thursday.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to AHL Miner was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

Impact Miner served as Scott Wedgewood's backup for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh. If Mackenzie Blackwood (illness) is healthy and ready to go Thursday versus Utah, Miner's move to the AHL will likely be long-term after the Avalanche have addressed their goaltending problem through trades.

DECEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from AHL Miner was summoned from AHL Colorado on Monday.

Impact Miner will probably be Scott Wedgewood's backup in Tuesday's road game against Pittsburgh because Mackenzie Blackwood (illness) will be unavailable. The 23-year-old Miner has a 5-4-2 record with a 2.69 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 11 minor-league appearances this season. He made 12 saves on 13 shots in a relief appearance for the Avalanche on Nov. 15 against Washington during a 5-2 loss.

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to AHL Miner was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Saturday.

Impact Miner made a relief appearance Friday, stopping 12 of 13 shots en route to a 5-2 loss to Washington. Alexandar Georgiev (upper body) is day-to-day, which is why Miner was with the NHL club. Colorado doesn't play again until Monday's road game against Philadelphia, so Miner might be recalled if Georgiev is unavailable for that match.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Makes relief appearance Friday Miner turned aside 12 of 13 shots after replacing Justus Annunen between the pipes in the second period of Friday's 5-2 loss to Washington.

Impact Miner didn't look out of place in his NHL debut after being pressed into action, especially considering the Capitals rank second in the league with 4.19 goals per game. The 23-year-old Manitoba native was a seventh-round selection by the Avs in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. Miner will likely remain with the big club while Alexandar Georgiev (upper body) is sidelined.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from minors Miner was called up from AHL Colorado on Friday.

Impact Miner's promotion comes after Alexandar Georgiev was deemed day-to-day with an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old Miner figures to serve as the No. 2 option behind Justus Annunen when the Avs square off with the Capitals at home Friday. Unless Georgiev's injury lingers long-term, Miner is unlikely to see any minutes at the NHL level.
