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.

Avalanche's Trent Miner: Makes relief appearance Friday
Rotowire
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.
After being pressed into action, Miner didn't look out of place in his NHL debut, 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.

Miner was called up from AHL Colorado on Friday.
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.
