GAME LOG

Jonathan Drouin - Not at practice Friday Drouin (lower body) is still absent from practice Friday, Brennan Vogt of The-Rink.com reports.
Impact Drouin missed all five games of the opening round versus Winnipeg and has yet to make an appearance at practice. The 29-year-old had his best offensive season as an NHLer in 2023-24, picking up 56 points in 73 games, including 19 points on the power play. Drouin saw plenty of time on the top line, alongside Nathan MacKinnon. Look for Valeri Nichushkin -- who had seven goals in five games during Round 1 -- to remain on the top unit in place of Drouin.

Jonathan Drouin - Still not skating Drouin (lower body) has yet to resume skating with the team but could still return during the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Coach Jared Bednar told reporters Wednesday,...
Impact Drouin has already been out of action for approximately two weeks, so it seems unlikely that he will be ready for Game 1 of the next round. Prior to getting hurt, the 29-year-old center was stuck in a four-game goal drought during which he recorded three helpers, six shots and three blocks while averaging 19:01 of ice time.

Andrew Cogliano - Produces assist in Game 5 Cogliano logged an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.
Impact Cogliano helped out on Yakov Trenin's second-period tally. The 36-year-old Cogliano managed three helpers four hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over five first-round appearances. The Avalanche scored 27 times in this series -- Cogliano's offense will drop in the likely event the team faces a tougher defense in the second round.

Casey Mittelstadt - Sets up empty-netter Mittelstadt recorded an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.
Impact Mittelstadt fed Josh Manson late in the third period to finish the game and the first-round series. The 25-year-old Mittelstadt contributed a goal, five assists, 15 shots on net and a plus-5 rating from his second-line role. The center should be able to continue generating offense, though he may not be the steadiest scorer on the team if the Avalanche face more resistance in later rounds.

Cale Makar - Grabs helper in Game 5 Makar logged an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.
Impact Makar was briefly rattled by a hit in the third period, but he was able to finish the contest. The 25-year-old defenseman had two goals, seven assists, 16 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over five games in the first round. Makar will have a little time to rest before the Avalanche play again -- they have to wait for the conclusion of the Stars-Golden Knights series.

Devon Toews - Produces pair of helpers Toews notched two assists, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.
Impact Toews set up goals by Valeri Nichushkin and Mikko Rantanen in this contest. The 30-year-old Toews ends the first round with five points, five shots on net, 11 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over five appearances. He continues to play in a top-pairing role, and he shares enough ice time with the Avalanche's best players that he's bound to pick up fairly steady point production along the way.

Nathan MacKinnon - Two more assists in win MacKinnon logged two assists, seven shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.
Impact MacKinnon helped out on both of Mikko Rantanen's tallies in the third period. Through five playoff outings, MacKinnon has racked up two goals, seven assists, 24 shots on net, five hits and a plus-5 rating. He's served as more of a playmaker for Valeri Nichushkin, who had seven goals while serving in a top-line role during the first round. Regardless of how he gets his offense, MacKinnon figures to be heavily involved in the Avalanche's progress in the playoffs.

Yakov Trenin - Pots goal in win Trenin scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.
Impact The second-period goal was Trenin's first point in five playoff outings. The 27-year-old has added 21 hits, six shots on net and a plus-2 rating. He had 17 points, 116 shots on net, 207 hits and 40 PIM over 76 regular-season outings between the Avalanche and the Predators, though he's mainly been in a bottom-six role since he was traded to Colorado.
MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Artturi Lehkonen - Pots goal in Game 5 Lehkonen scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.
Impact Odd bounces went both ways in this game -- the Jets' first goal caromed in off Lehkonen's body. It balanced out, as Lehkonen's goal was awarded to him when a Jets defenseman put the puck in his own net in the second period. Lehkonen got a goal in every game in the first round and added three assists, 20 shots on net, seven hits and a plus-5 rating while skating in a top-six role with power-play time.
MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Valeri Nichushkin - Tallies in Tuesday's win Nichushkin scored a goal, added three hits and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.
Impact Nichushkin was locked in during the first round, scoring seven times on 17 shots over five games. He's picked up nine goals over six contests dating back to the regular-season finale. Nichushkin should remain in a position to put up goals if he sticks on the top line heading into the second round.
MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Manson - One of each in Game 5 win Manson scored an empty-net goal, added an assist, went plus-2, logged two hits and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.
Impact Manson racked up five points and a plus-5 rating over five first-round contests. He also had 13 shots on net, 14 hits and seven blocked shots. The 32-year-old defenseman is showing his value at both ends of the ice while playing in a top-four role this postseason. Manson should return solid value in DFS play once the Avalanche's playoff run resumes in round two.
MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Mikko Rantanen - Three-point effort in win Rantanen scored twice on four goals, added an assist, went plus-4, logged three hits and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.
Impact Rantanen finally buried a goal of his own after picking up seven helpers before scoring. His first tally in the third period was the game-winner, and he scored again a few minutes later. The 27-year-old has nine points, 14 shots on net, 13 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over five playoff outings. He should continue to play in a top-line role heading into the second round.
MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Alexandar Georgiev - Secures series win Georgiev stopped 33 of 36 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.
Impact Georgiev allowed seven goals in a Game 1 loss, then gave up a total of eight goals over the next four games to guide the Avalanche to the 4-1 series win. Any questions about his ability to step up in the playoffs have been put to rest now. Georgiev will remain the starter heading into the second round, and he'll get some extra rest while the Avalanche await the winner of the Stars-Golden Knights series.
