Givani Smith - Drops to AHL Smith was reassigned to AHL Colorado following Thursday's game versus Utah.
Impact Smith logged 6:30 of ice time with two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 loss. The 26-year-old cleared waivers while he was a member of the Sharks prior to getting traded to the Avalanche. He's played in two games with his new team, so he can play in a maximum of eight more -- or spend a total of 30 days on the NHL roster -- before he'd require waivers again.

Keaton Middleton - Sent back down Middleton was reassigned to AHL Colorado following Thursday's game versus Utah.
Impact It's the usual cap gymnastics for the Avalanche, so Middleton may be recalled prior to Saturday's game versus the Predators. He will continue to compete with John Ludvig for the last spot in the lineup.

Devon Toews - Contributes helper Toews logged an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Utah.
Impact Toews has five helpers over six games in December. He continues to offer steady but not explosive offense in a top-pairing role, and he also maintains a spot on the second power-play unit. Toews is up to 12 points, 39 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 27 outings this season. He's been better -- the blueliner has reached the 50-point mark in each of the last three years, but he'll have to pick up the pace to do so in 2024-25.

Mikko Rantanen - Nabs helper in loss Rantanen registered an assist, four shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Utah.
Impact Rantanen has three goals and five helpers during his four-game point streak, propped up by a five-point game in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. The winger helped out on Nathan MacKinnon's tally in the third period to break up Karel Vejmelka's shutout bid. Rantanen is up to 43 points (18 goals, 25 assists), 89 shots on net, 20 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 31 outings in a top-line role.

Nathan MacKinnon - Breaks up shutout MacKinnon scored a goal on four shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Utah.
Impact MacKinnon has four goals and seven assists over six games in December. His third-period tally kept the Avalanche from getting shut out Thursday, but it took pulling Scott Wedgewood for an extra attacked to get the team on the board. MacKinnon is now at 11 goals, 47 points, 123 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 31 outings this season. He'll likely remain among the league-leaders on offense all season.

Scott Wedgewood - Falls to Utah Wedgewood stopped 19 of 22 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Utah. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Impact The Avalanche didn't get on the board until Nathan MacKinnon scored with 4:34 left in the third period while Wedgewood was pulled for an extra attacked. Colorado's rally ended with a Kevin Stenlund empty-netter 23 seconds later. Wedgewood is now 3-2-0 with nine goals allowed over five appearances since he was traded from the Predators to the Avalanche. Overall, he's at a 4-4-1 record with a 2.77 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 10 games this season. Mackenzie Blackwood was healthy enough to back up Thursday, though the Avalanche have not yet named a starting goalie for Saturday's contest versus the Predators.

Mackenzie Blackwood - Joins new teammates on ice Blackwood (illness) was in attendance for Thursday's game-day skate.
Impact Blackwood looks set to serve as the backup behind Scott Wedgewood in Thursday's matchup with Utah. Once the 28-year-old netminder is up to speed, he should be in line to split the workload. During his stint with San Jose, the Thunder Bay native went 6-9-3 with a 3.00 GAA and one shutout in 19 contests.

Scott Wedgewood - Guarding cage Thursday Wedgewood will patrol the home crease versus Utah on Thursday, Adrian Hernandez of Mile High Hockey reports.
Impact Wedgewood will make his third straight start as the Avalanche return home from a five-game road trip. Wedgewood has allowed only two goals on 52 shots in wins over Pittsburgh and New Jersey, raising his record to 4-3-1 across nine appearances this season. He will face Utah, who are averaging 2.96 goals per game in 2024-25.

Impact Middleton was sent down Tuesday for salary cap purposes. The defenseman has played the last three games in a row for Colorado, picking up three hits and two blocked shots while averaging 12:17 of ice time. Look for Middleton to partner with Calvin de Haan on the third unit while John Ludvig is a healthy scratch.

Ivan Ivan - Called back up Ivan was recalled by the Avalanche on Thursday.
Impact Ivan was sent to AHL Colorado on Tuesday, but the move was apparently just a paper transaction, as he'll rejoin the NHL club ahead of Thursday's home game against Utah.
