Trent Miner - NHL News & Rumors

Lands on waivers Miner (undisclosed) was placed on waivers Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Miner is ready to return to the crease after starting the 2026-27 campaign on the Avalanche's injured non-roster list. Assuming he clears waivers, he should be in the mix for starts with AHL Colorado.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Stays in Colorado's system Miner cleared waivers and has been reassigned to AHL Colorado.

Impact Miner will report to the Eagles once again in 2026-27 after he cleared waivers Monday. The 25 year-old backstop had a solid AHL season in 2025-26, compiling a 17-8-8 record, a 2.62 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 32 regular-season outings. He's the clear No. 3 backstop in Colorado's organization, making him the top name to watch if either Scott Wedgewood or Mackenzie Blackwood suffers an injury in the upcoming campaign. However, he's currently dealing with an injury of his own, making his status for AHL Colorado's season opener unknown at this time.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Battling undisclosed injury Miner is dealing with an undisclosed injury, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Wednesday.

Impact There aren't any details yet about Miner's injury, so it's not clear if this issue will cost him any preseason games. However, it's reasonable to believe the Avalanche won't push matters for the sake of exhibition tilts, so even a minor injury that he might have otherwise played through could keep him out of some early training camp action. The 25-year-old netminder is projected to start 2026-27 in the minors, but the Avalanche would likely call him up if Scott Wedgewood or Mackenzie Blackwood are unavailable at any stage of the campaign.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Posts fourth playoff shutout Miner recorded a 20-save shutout in AHL Colorado's 3-0 win over Coachella Valley in Game 1 on Wednesday.

Impact Miner has four shutouts and a 6-1 record over seven playoff games. He's been a nightmare for opponents this postseason, and he caught a break in this round after Coachella Valley upset Ontario to get here. Miner will look to keep the Eagles rolling with a spot in the Western Conference Finals on the line, meaning he won't be available as a depth option for the Avalanche any time soon.

MAY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Earns another shutout Miner recorded a 20-save shutout in AHL Colorado's 4-0 win over Henderson in Game 3 on Wednesday.

Impact Miner is up to three shutouts in five playoff games for the Eagles, including two in wins over Henderson. He's 4-1 this postseason and should continue to play the bulk of the games during the AHL club's playoff run.

MAY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Logs shutout Friday Miner posted an 18-save shutout in AHL Colorado's 1-0 win over Henderson in Game 1 on Friday.

Impact Miner has won all three of his playoff games for the Eagles this year, with two of them being shutouts. The netminder is expected to lead the way for the AHL club's playoff run, while another goalie is set to serve as the No. 3 during the Avalanche's postseason run at the NHL level.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Posts shutout Wednesday Miner logged an 18-save shutout in AHL Colorado's 3-0 win over San Diego in Game 1 on Wednesday.

Impact Miner earned his first AHL playoff shutout with this effort. The goalie went 17-8-5 with a 2.62 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 32 regular-season appearances. Isak Posch is serving as the Avalanche's third goalie in the NHL postseason, so Miner should see the bulk of the starts for the Eagles while their playoff run is active.

APRIL 23 • ROTOWIRE

Logs shutout in AHL play Miner notched a 35-save shutout in AHL Colorado's 3-0 win over Henderson on Saturday.

Impact This was Miner's first shutout in 12 appearances at the AHL level this season. Due to various injuries to the Avalanche's goalies, he's spent a lot of time in the backup role in the NHL. He's 8-2-1 with a 2.22 GAA and a .919 save percentage in the AHL, so he's more than capable to handle the responsibility of being Colorado's organizational No. 3 goalie.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to minors Miner was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Wednesday.

Impact Miner has a 1-0-3 record, 2.03 GAA and .923 save percentage in four appearances with the Avalanche in 2025-26. His reassignment might be a sign that Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) is close to returning, but the Avalanche are off until Friday's home game against Nashville, so they have plenty of time to recall a goaltender before their next game.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Allowed four goals to Leafs Miner gave up four goals on 31 shots (.871 save percentage) in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Monday.

Impact Miner was given the second consecutive start after having blanked the Blue Jackets on Saturday but wasn't nearly as sharp. Once Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) returns to the lineup, the 24-year-old Miner will be headed back to AHL Colorado, where he figures to spend the rest of the 2025-26 campaign, barring additional injury concerns.

Slated to start Monday Miner is expected to patrol the crease at home versus the Maple Leafs on Monday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

Impact Miner is coming off a 29-save, shutout performance against the Blue Jackets on Saturday, so it seems the team will go with the hot hand heading into Monday's clash. Despite his decent performances, Miner will almost certainly be shipped down to the minors once Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) is cleared to return.

Blanks Jackets for first shutout Miner made 29 saves in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Called back up from AHL Colorado on Friday to fill in for Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body), Miner was put to work right away and recorded his first NHL shutout in his fifth career outing at the top level. Scott Wedgewood should see the bulk of the action while Blackwood is sidelined, but Miner's performance could earn him more work than anticipated. Through 10 AHL appearances this season, Miner's gone 7-2-0 with a 2.40 GAA and .907 save percentage.

Starting Saturday Miner will patrol the home crease against Columbus on Saturday, per Bailey Curtis of DNVR Sports.

Impact Miner has appeared in two games for the Avalanche this season, stopping 40 of 44 shots en route to a record of 0-0-2. Columbus is tied for 20th in the league this campaign with 2.98 goals per contest.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Called up Friday Miner was recalled from AHL Colorado on Friday.

Impact Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) landed on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury in a corresponding move. Miner has gone 0-0-2 with four goals allowed on 44 shots over two NHL appearances this season. With the Eagles, he has a 7-2-0 record, a 2.40 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 10 appearances. Miner will likely handle a backup role while with the Avalanche, as Scott Wedgewood can be penciled in for the starting job in Blackwood's absence.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to AHL Miner was reassigned to AHL Colorado by the Avalanche, the team announced Sunday.

Impact Miner was up just serving as insurance for an injury to normal starter Mackenzie Blackwood. He will return to the AHL now with the usual backup, Scott Wedgewood (back), healthy again. With AHL Colorado, the 24-year-old Miner is 4-1-0 with a 2.16 GAA and a .908 save percentage.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
