Nikolai Kovalenko - Sent to minorsKovalenko was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Thursday.
ImpactKovalenko's return to the minors might just be a paper move for salary cap reasons because the Avalanche's next game isn't until Friday versus Washington. Consequently, it would not be surprising if there's another update in about 24 hours saying that he's been recalled. There is a bit of an x-factor here with Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) set to be activated Friday, but Chris Wagner was put on waivers Thursday, so it might be Wagner rather than Kovalenko being sent to the minors for the long run to make room for Nichushkin. The 25-year-old Kovalenko has two goals and six points in 17 appearances with the Avalanche in 2024-25.
