GAME LOG

Chris Wagner - Rises to NHL Wagner was recalled from AHL Colorado on Wednesday.
Impact Wagner has drawn into two games this season, picking up three shots on goal, three hits and two PIM. The 33-year-old winger could get a longer look until the Avalanche get some injured forwards back, as Calum Ritchie was sent back to OHL Oshawa in a corresponding move.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Ivan Ivan - Grabs helper Tuesday Ivan posted an assist and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
Impact Ivan was able to help out on the second of Joel Kiviranta's two goals in the game, as the Avalanche got some much-needed depth scoring. Through seven appearances, Ivan has two assists, eight shots on net and a plus-1 rating. The 22-year-old forward hasn't been sent to AHL Colorado in paper transactions over the last week, so it looks like he might be able to stick in the NHL for a while, though his fourth-line role isn't fantasy-friendly.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Malinski - Generates assist Tuesday Malinski logged an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
Impact The helper was Malinski's first point of the season, but it's been his steady play on the third pairing that's kept him in the lineup. The Avalanche have often rotated Calvin de Haan, Oliver Kylington or John Ludvig out of the lineup, while Malinski has played in all seven games. Malinski has 10 shots on net, six blocked shots, three hits and a minus-1 rating while averaging 15:44 of ice time per contest.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Nathan MacKinnon - Finds twine in win MacKinnon deposited a goal on the power play in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Seattle.
Impact Mackinnon's power-play marker stood as the winning goal, and it extended his season-opening point streak to seven. The right-shot superstar has registered an assist in all but one game, and he's up to three goals, nine assists and a minus-3 rating over seven games. MacKinnon will once again be a candidate to win the Art Ross Trophy given his hot start and 140-point effort in 2023-24. The 29-year-old will attempt to keep it rolling in a road matchup with Utah on Thursday.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Cale Makar - On another level Makar recorded two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Seattle.
Impact Makar registered an even-strength helper on Joel Kiviranta's second-period tally before assisting on Nathan MacKinnon's power-play goal in the same frame. In addition, Makar compiled three shots, three blocks and a plus-1 rating in a team-high 23:24 of ice time. The star blueliner extended his season-opening point streak to seven after Tuesday's two-point performance. Makar leads all NHLers with 14 points (two goals) through seven games.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Joel Kiviranta - Pots two in win Kiviranta scored two even-strength goals in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Chicago.
Impact Kiviranta started the scoring in the opening frame before redirecting a Cale Makar shot into the back of the net to give Colorado a one-goal lead in the second period. Kiviranta added four shots, two PIM, one block and a plus-2 rating in 14:51 of ice time. The Finnish forward has three markers in his last two games, but he's yet to register an assist this season. Kiviranta is filling a fourth-line role and serving as a penalty killer.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Justus Annunen - Sturdy performance in win Annunen turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over Seattle.
Impact Annunen has now won consecutive games, and he's likely earned himself a larger share of the netminding workload as a result of Alexandar Georgiev's early-season struggles. Annunen has posted a 2-1-0 record, .900 save percentage and 2.45 GAA across four appearances. The 24-year-old's next chance to extend his win streak to three will come in a road matchup with Utah on Thursday.

Devon Toews - Removed from IR Toews (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
Impact Toews appears to be ready to return from a four-game absence in Tuesday's clash with Seattle. He has accounted for one assist, three shots on net and three blocked shots through two appearances this season. With Toews poised to play, Calvin de Haan or John Ludvig could be scratched.

John Ludvig - First point with new team Ludvig produced an assist and three hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Impact The helper was Ludvig's first point in three appearances with the Avalanche. The 24-year-old defenseman has battled with Oliver Kylington and Calvin de Haan for a spot in the lineup, but that battle will be a little easier while Devon Toews (lower body) is out. Ludvig has added five hits, two blocked shots and two shots on net. When he's in the lineup, he'll likely be confined to a bottom-four role, giving him little fantasy upside.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Manson - Slings helper Sunday Manson recorded an assist, five blocked shots and six PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Impact Manson has been steady on offense with three assists over six games this season. The 33-year-old blueliner has added 10 shots on net, 13 hits, 12 blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-5 rating. He's a lock to play on the Avalanche's second pairing, and while his offense won't always be consistent, he regularly adds plenty of hits and PIM.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Samuel Girard - Manages helper in win Girard posted an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Impact Girard was the latest defenseman to get a look alongside Cale Makar on the top pairing, and it was on Makar's empty-netter that Girard earned his third point of the season. All three of them have been assists, as Girard has struggled to get involved in the offense. He's added just two shots on net with five hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating across six appearances. He's worth a look in deeper formats as long as Devon Toews (lower body) is out.
