Samuel Girard - Earns 200th career pointGirard logged two assists in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Golden Knights.
ImpactGirard's first helper was the 200th point of his career, a milestone he reached in his 476th game. The 26-year-old blueliner is locked into a top-four role for the Avalanche, though he'll also be limited to the second power-play unit. He's topped the 30-point mark four times in his career, but he was held to 18 points in 59 regular-season outings in 2023-24 after a stint in the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. Girard has reached the 70-game mark in just four of his first seven seasons, so fantasy managers should expect him to sit out with injuries on occasion.

Casey Mittelstadt - Scores in Wednesday's lossMittelstadt scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Golden Knights.
ImpactMittelstadt had the only other goal aside from Mikko Rantanen's hat trick for the Avalanche in this loss. The 25-year-old center put up 57 points over 80 regular-season games between Colorado and Buffalo last year, which was enough to earn him a three-year contract to fill the No. 2 center spot in Denver. If he can stay on the top power-play unit, Mittelstadt has a chance to surpass the 60-point mark for the first time in his career, though the Avalanche's shaky wing depth could hinder his even-strength production.

Zach Whitecloud - Deposits goal in season-opening winWhitecloud scored a goal and added two hits in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Avalanche.
ImpactWhitecloud's goal came in the second period while he was on the ice alongside the top line. The defenseman has been a regular for the Golden Knights over the last four years, but he has topped 60 games just once and has a career high of 19 points in a single season. As such, his fantasy value is limited to deeper formats that count hits and blocked shots, as he is unlikely to score enough in a third-pairing role to draw widespread appeal.
