Alexandar Georgiev - Defending crease Monday Georgiev will patrol the home crease Monday against the Islanders, per Ethan Sears of the New York Post.
Impact Georgiev has surrendered eight goals on 25 shots while being pulled in his first two starts this season. The Avalanche and Islanders are both winless heading into Monday's contest. Colorado has allowed 14 goals through two games this campaign.

Avalanche and Islanders face off in out-of-conference matchup
The Colorado Avalanche and the New York Islanders hit the ice in an out-of-conference matchupOCTOBER 13 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Calvin de Haan - First helper with new team De Haan logged an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact The 33-year-old defenseman has a helper, five blocked shots, three hits and a minus-2 rating through his first two games with the Avalanche. De Haan signed a one-year deal in July, and he's so far been able to fend off Oliver Kylington and John Ludvig for a spot on the third pairing alongside Sam Malinski. De Haan has just one 20-point campaign to his name, so he's unlikely to turn into a dynamo on offense in 2024-25.

Parker Kelly - Provides helper in loss Kelly recorded an assist and four hits in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Kelly has four shots on net, four hits and a minus-1 rating through his first two games with the Avalanche. The 25-year-old signed a two-year contract in July, and he's filled a bottom-six role so far. He has yet to contribute 20 points in a single season, though he has topped the 100-hit mark in three straight years.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Ivan Ivan - Records first career point Ivan logged a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Ivan's helper came on a Nathan MacKinnon tally in the first period. The 22-year-old has been shuffled between the AHL and NHL levels this week as the Avalanche balance a thin forward group and a tight salary cap. Until the team gets some players back from injury, Ivan seems likely to hold onto a bottom-six role even if he is involved in frequent paper transactions.

Mikko Rantanen - Power-play helper in loss Rantanen notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Rantanen helped out on a Nathan MacKinnon tally late in the first period. Two of Rantanen's four points have come on the power play, and he's added nine shots on net over two contests. The 27-year-old winger will be leaned on heavily while Jonathan Drouin (upper body) is out of the lineup. With back-to-back 100-point campaigns under his belt, Rantanen is more than capable of sustaining a hot stretch of offense.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Cale Makar - Dishes two assists in loss Makar notched two assists in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Makar helped out on the Avalanche's last two goals of the game as they tried to make comeback effort. The defenseman has assisted on half of the Avalanche's eight goals through two contests this season, including two power-play assists. He's added two shots on net, two hits and one blocked shot. As long as his offense is steady, fantasy managers can tolerate whatever level of non-scoring production Makar manages.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Miles Wood - Tallies in Saturday's loss Wood scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Wood remained on the third line even with fellow left wing Jonathan Drouin (upper body) out of action. It's a role Wood does well in -- he has finished between 23 and 27 points in each of the last five seasons in which he's played at least 50 games. He also topped 100 hits in three of those years. That kind of production makes Wood an option in deep fantasy formats.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Casey Mittelstadt - Nets power-play marker Mittelstadt scored a power-play goal on two shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Mittelstadt has a goal in each game this season, and he's added five shots on net. The 25-year-old center filled a larger role Saturday with Jonathan Drouin (upper body) out of the lineup. Mittelstadt is locked in as the Avalanche's second-line center, and his spot on the top power-play unit could give him a chance to set a new career high in points, which is 59 from the 2022-23 campaign.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Ross Colton - Produces two points in loss Colton scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Colton had a power-play assist in the second period and an even-strength goal in the third. The 28-year-old forward was held off the scoresheet in the season opener Wednesday versus the Golden Knights. Colton has a chance to play in a top-six role as long as Jonathan Drouin (upper body) is out. In the long run, Colton can be a useful forward in fantasy thanks to his physicality, especially after producing a career-high 40 points over 80 regular-season outings last year.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Nathan MacKinnon - Loses cool after losing game MacKinnon scored a power-play goal on three shots, added an assist and logged 10 PIM in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact MacKinnon had one of three multi-point efforts for the Avalanche, but it wasn't enough. He shattered a stick after Columbus' empty-netter, and that earned him a 10-minute misconduct penalty. The 29-year-old center has a goal, three helpers, seven shots and two power-play points through the first two games of the year despite the Avalanche starting 0-2-0.
