He's logged 20 points in 51 contests with the Eagles, ranking sixth on the team for scoring. He'll likely continue to serve as organizational depth for the next couple of seasons.

Impact Middleton joined AHL Colorado on a minor-league contract last July, but he's done enough keep the attention of the big club. The 23-year-old blueliner has one assist through 14 games with the Eagles this season.

After he was signed, he joined the Avalanche's taxi squad.
