Cale Makar - Finds twine shorthanded Makar scored a shorthanded goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Makar was able to avoid missing time when he suited up Thursday after being a game-time decision following an undisclosed injury Tuesday versus the Kraken. The defenseman's 13-game point streak to open the year snapped in a 1-0 loss to the Jets on Thursday, but he was right back on the scoresheet Saturday with his first shorthanded point of the season. The defenseman has six goals, 24 points, 44 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 14 hits and a minus-6 rating over 15 appearances. He's earned 12 of his points on the power play and continues to be dynamic in all situations while also leading all NHL blueliners in points -- Josh Morrissey (16) is a distant second.

Artturi Lehkonen - Goal, assist in win Lehkonen scored a goal on five shots, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Lehkonen set up Nathan MacKinnon for a game-tying goal at 15:49 of the second period and then scored the go-ahead marker less than a minute later. This was Lehkonen's second multi-point effort over three appearances this season. He has two goals, two assists, 11 shots on net and a plus-3 rating since he returned from shoulder surgery. Lehkonen is shining on the top line, but it's unclear if he'll stay there once Jonathan Drouin (upper body) or Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) return to the lineup.

Mikko Rantanen - Wrangles three points in win Rantanen scored twice on four shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Rantanen was involved in the Avalanche's last three goals as the team's top line took over late in the second period. His first goal came on the power play and his second tally was an empty-netter to help secure the win. The 28-year-old has five points over four games in November despite coming up empty in two of those contests. Overall, Rantanen has eight goals, 12 assists, nine power-play points, 43 shots on net, 12 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 15 outings.

Nathan MacKinnon - Dominant again Saturday MacKinnon scored a goal on seven shots, dished three assists and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact MacKinnon had three points in a five-goal second period for the Avalanche, and he also set up Mikko Rantanen's empty-netter in the third. One of MacKinnon's helpers came on the power play. This was already his 10th multi-point effort of the campaign as he bounced back from the end of his 13-game season-opening point streak. MacKinnon has seven goals, 22 helpers, 13 power-play points, 59 shots on net and even plus-minus rating over 15 appearances this season. His 29 points rank first in the NHL, as he moved ahead of Kirill Kaprizov (27) with Saturday's performance.

Alexandar Georgiev - Defeats Hurricanes Georgiev stopped 27 of 31 shots in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Georgiev got a little karmic redemption after being on the wrong end of a 1-0 loss Thursday against the Jets. He wasn't quite as sharp Saturday, but the Avalanche gave him enough support to take down one of the hottest teams in the league -- the Hurricanes had won their previous eight games. Georgiev is now 2-5-0 with a 4.04 GAA and an .851 save percentage over eight starts. Even if he finds a groove, it will take a while for him to make his season-long numbers look better. He's started each of the last two games, but it's tough to read the tea leaves in the Avalanche's crease as long as they continue to carry three netminders.

Alexandar Georgiev - Guarding goal Saturday Georgiev will protect the home net Saturday against Carolina, according to Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports.

Impact Georgiev is coming off a 27-save effort in Thursday's 1-0 loss to Winnipeg. He has a 1-5-0 record with a 4.05 GAA and an .847 save percentage in seven appearances this season. Carolina is riding an eight-game winning streak and ranks third in the league with 4.17 goals per game in 2024-25

Nikita Prishchepov - Recalled Saturday Prishchepov was recalled from AHL Colorado on Saturday.

Alexandar Georgiev - Takes hard-luck loss Georgiev stopped 27 of 28 shots in Thursday's 1-0 loss to the Jets.

Impact While Georgiev's struggles led to a rough October for the Avalanche, this loss was not on him. The Jets scored on an odd-man rush stemming from a turnover just 1:06 into the game, and that was all the scoring in the contest. Georgiev slipped to 1-5-0 with a 4.05 GAA and an .847 save percentage through seven outings, though he'll win more often than not if he can put in this kind of performance regularly going forward. The Avalanche have a tough matchup at home versus the Hurricanes on Saturday, and with three goalies on the roster, there's no telling who might get the start.

T.J. Tynan - Reassigned after loss Tynan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Thursday.

Impact Tynan has yet to record a point through four games, adding four shots on net, two hits, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating at the NHL level this year. If the Avalanche are able to get injured forwards back before Saturday's game versus the Hurricanes, Tynan's return to the AHL could be on a more permanent basis this time around.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Nikita Prishchepov - Sent back down Prishchepov was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Thursday.

Impact Prishchepov has played in three straight games for the Avalanche, racking up six hits, three shots on net and a plus-1 rating. He continues to move between levels with the team hurting for forward depth, though that may change once Jonathan Drouin (upper body), Miles Wood (upper body) or Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) returns.
