Over five appearances with the Avalanche this month, he's logged two hits, a blocked shot and a plus-2 rating while averaging 9:08 of ice time.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Scores in loss to Tampa Bay
Rotowire
Ivan scored a power-play goal and took six shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Lightning.
Ivan has found the back of the net twice this season, and coincidentally, both goals have come with the man advantage. Even though he has cracked the scoresheet in three of his last five appearances, Ivan isn't expected to hold a prominent role on offense for the Avs -- even if he plays on the second line and the first power-play unit.

The goal was Ivan's first in the NHL, to go with two assists, nine shots on net and a plus-2 rating through eight appearances. The Avalanche sent Calum Ritchie back to the OHL on Wednesday, so Ivan appears to have a bit more security in regards to staying in the lineup.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Competing for fourth-line role
Rotowire
Ivan scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 2-1 preseason loss to Utah.
Ivan made a good final audition for a fourth-line gig, scoring the Avalanche's lone goal in the loss. The 22-year-old forward put up 31 points in 67 regular-season contests with AHL Colorado last year. With opening rosters due Monday, Ivan might be with the Avalanche to begin the 2024-25 campaign because Artturi Lehkonen (shoulder) and Gabriel Landeskog (knee) are still recovering from injuries.
