Avalanche's Domenick Fensore: Slings three helpers for Eagles
Fensore logged three assists in AHL Colorado's 5-3 win over Tucson on Sunday.
Fensore didn't make the Avalanche's Opening Night roster, but he could be a candidate for a call-up during the year. He's on a one-year contract after spending the previous three years in the Hurricanes' system. Fensore had 35 points in 60 regular-season AHL games last year, and he also made one appearance with the Hurricanes in 2025-26.

Avalanche's Tristen Nielsen: Tallies twice in AHL win
Nielsen scored two goals in AHL Colorado's 5-3 win over Tucson on Sunday.
Nielsen had a career year with 49 points over 66 regular-season outings for the Eagles last year. The 26-year-old forward probably won't see much action with the Avalanche, but he should be a reliable minor-league scorer.

Avalanche's Parker Kelly: Chips in with pair of assists
Kelly notched two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blues.
Kelly has a pair of multi-point efforts to begin the season. He has a goal, three assists, two shots on net, four hits and a plus-4 rating from a fourth-line role. Kelly stood out last year, and he's well on his way to showing his 35-point effort in the 2025-26 regular season wasn't a fluke. Keep Kelly in mind as a depth option in fantasy, especially in leagues that count hits.

Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Distributes three assists in win
MacKinnon registered three assists, four shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blues.
After showing off his scoring skills with two goals in the season opener, MacKinnon demonstrated some playmaking in this contest. He's added 12 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through two appearances. He won't put up multiple points every game, but that's something he did in 42 of his 80 regular-season outings last year, which makes him as close to a sure thing as there is in fantasy hockey.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: Opens scoring in blowout win
Makar scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blues.
Makar tallied 4:09 into the contest, and the Avalanche never looked back. The 27-year-old is showing no signs of rust after battling a lower-body injury for most of the preseason. Makar has three points, four shots, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over two contests. He should be among the highest-scoring blueliners when all is said and done this season.

Avalanche's Josh Manson: Earns two points in win
Manson scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, went plus-4 and added three hits in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blues.
Manson is filling a third-pairing role alongside Brent Burns to begin the campaign. With three points, three shots, four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating, Manson has looked good in that role amid the Avalanche's early explosion of offense. The 34-year-old will provide more physicality than scoring in the long run, but he's in a good team situation that gives him some fantasy value in banger leagues and deeper standard formats.

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Picks up two points Saturday
Roy scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, doled out three hits and logged two PIM in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blues.
Roy is off to a hot start this season despite filling a fourth-line role. He's picked up two goals, one helper, five shots, five hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over two contests. There's a little extra ice time to go around among the forwards since the Avalanche have rolled out a lineup with seven defensemen in both games, though one or both of Zachary L'Heureux or Logan O'Connor could come back from their respective lower-body injuries next week to fill out the forward group.

Avalanche's Artturi Lehkonen: One of each in win
Lehkonen scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blues.
Lehkonen has put together back-to-back multi-point games to start the campaign. He's up to three goals, one assist, five shots, three hits, four blocks and a plus-4 rating across those games. As long as Lehkonen is seeing time alongside Nathan MacKinnon on the top line, the winger will be in a great position to contribute on the scoresheet.

Avalanche's Martin Necas: Productive in win
Necas scored twice on four shots, added an assist and went plus-4 in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blues.
The Avalanche's top line dominated the contest, with Necas leading the charge. He was held to one assist in the season opener, but he's capable of popping off for multiple points at any given time. Necas has four points, eight shots and two hits across two contests this season while filling a top-line role.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Cruises to win Saturday
Blackwood allowed one goal on 26 shots in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blues.
The Blues were on the second half of a back-to-back, and the Avalanche capitalized on it. Blackwood did much better in this game than in his first start of the year, when he allowed four goals on 31 shots against the Kings on Wednesday. He's made both starts for the Avalanche this year, but it's unclear if that's part of a larger trend for him to function as the starter. Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood should split the next two games, as the Avalanche are set to visit the Jets on Wednesday and the Flames on Thursday in a pair of winnable matchups.

Avalanche's Ilya Nabokov: Shutout in AHL debut
Nabokov recorded a 32-save shutout in AHL Colorado's 2-0 win over Tucson on Saturday.
Nabokov was making his AHL debut, and he made it a memorable one. The 23-year-old goalie came over from the KHL in the offseason after being a second-round pick in 2024. Nabokov will work on his development in the AHL until a spot opens up for him on the Avalanche's roster.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Poised to start Saturday
Blackwood is expected to protect the home net against St. Louis on Saturday, according to Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.
Blackwood is poised to make his second start of the season after being the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate. In his previous appearance, he made 27 saves in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Kings. The Blues earned a 4-0 victory over Dallas on Friday.

Avalanche's Beckett Hamilton: Collects three points
Hamilton scored a goal on four shots and added two assists in WHL Red Deer's 4-2 win over Saskatoon on Friday.
Hamilton is thriving early in the WHL campaign, earning five goals and three assists over four games. He's also won more than half of his faceoff attempts in each game. Hamilton is a third-round pick of the Avalanche, and he'll have a chance to be one of the WHL's most prolific producers this year.

Avalanche's Taylor Makar: On AHL club's opening roster
Makar is listed on AHL Colorado's Opening Night roster released Thursday, indicating the forward has been activated from non-roster injured reserve and assigned to the minor-league affiliate.
Makar was banged up in the Avalanche's preseason finale. The 25-year-old should be expected to spend most of the 2026-27 campaign with the Eagles. He had 24 points in 52 regular-season games at the AHL level last year.

Avalanche's Devon Toews: Earns pair of power-play assists
Toews logged two power-play assists and two PIM in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Kings.
With this performance, Toews already has more points with the man advantage in 2026-27 than he did in all of 2025-26, when he was limited to a single power-play goal. He's rarely been a big producer in that scenario, but last year was a bad one by most metrics for the veteran blueliner, who was limited to just 24 points in 68 regular-season appearances. Toews' main value comes from playing alongside Cale Makar at even strength as well as his individual ability to carry a strong plus-minus rating. Given his prominent role on a strong team, Toews should be able to bounce back to around the 40-point mark if he can avoid injuries. He may not carry as much fantasy value as he used to since his non-scoring production has steadily declined in recent years.

Avalanche's Jaden Schwartz: Adds pair of helpers
Schwartz logged two assists (one on the power play), two hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Kings.
Schwartz was a bit of a splash in free agency for the Avalanche, but he opened the campaign on a line with young forwards Fedor Svechkov and T.J. Hughes. There's no guarantee that's where he'll be all year, but it could limit Schwartz's production in the early going, despite his positive team debut. Schwartz also carries a significant injury risk, having missed 20-plus games in three of the last five campaigns.

Avalanche's Nazem Kadri: Helps out twice on power play
Kadri recorded two power-play assists and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Kings.
Kadri helped out on goals by Brock Nelson and Nathan MacKinnon in this contest. The 35-year-old Kadri has long worked as a center, but he's opening this year as a second-line winger alongside Nelson, giving the Avalanche some flexibility in constructing their lines. If Kadri sticks on the wing, he'll gain some versatility in fantasy, which could make it more palatable to roster him. He was held to 50 points in 77 regular-season outings between Colorado and Calgary last year, his lowest total in the last five years, and further age-related regression is a risk factor moving forward.
