Ivan was elevated from AHL Colorado on Friday.
Ivan's promotion doesn't come as a surprise, as the Avs continue to shuffle guys between levels as part of cap-saving measures. While the 22-year-old center has seen time in a top-six role periodically this season, he will likely find himself further down the depth chart with Miles Wood, Valeri Nichushkin and Jonathan Drouin all back in action Friday. This likely won't be the last shift to the minors for Ivan this year.

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.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Nets first NHL goal
Rotowire
Ivan scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over Utah.
Ivan cashed in on his opportunity with the first power-play unit after Ross Colton (hand) left the game. 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: Reassigned to AHL
Rotowire
Ivan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.
Ivan competed for a role on the Avalanche's fourth line during training camp. While he'll be sent to the minors Monday, the move appears to be procedural, and the 22-year-old is a strong candidate to rejoin the team ahead of Opening Night. Ivan hasn't yet made his NHL debut but could see a role while Artturi Lehkonen (shoulder) and Gabriel Landeskog (knee) are sidelined.

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.
