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 13ā¢ASSOCIATED PRESS
Calvin de Haan - First helper with new teamDe Haan logged an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
ImpactThe 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 lossKelly recorded an assist and four hits in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
ImpactKelly 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.

Ivan Ivan - Records first career pointIvan logged a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
ImpactIvan'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 lossRantanen notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
ImpactRantanen 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 13ā¢ROTOWIRE
Cale Makar - Dishes two assists in lossMakar notched two assists in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
ImpactMakar 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.
