OLIVER KYLINGTON NEWS

Chips in with helper Kylington logged an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Impact Kylington's helper was his first point with the Ducks since he was traded from the Islanders just before the deadline. The 27-year-old blueliner saw just 8:44 of ice time Wednesday, and he'll be at risk of losing his place once Jacob Trouba (lower body) returns. Kylington is at five points, six shots on net, 18 blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-2 rating over 19 appearances between the Ducks and the Avalanche in 2024-25, and he's unlikely to see anything more than third-pairing usage.

Gaining playing time Kylington was in the lineup for the third game in a row in Monday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

Impact Kylington was a healthy scratch for the first seven games he was with the Ducks after being traded twice March 6 from the Avalanche to the Islanders and then ultimately Anaheim. He's since played in five of the last nine contests, though he doesn't have a point with the Ducks yet while adding two shots on goal and three blocked shots. Kylington will likely continue to play as long as Jacob Trouba (lower body) is unavailable. Kylington will be a free agent this summer, but with just four points over 18 appearances, he may have to settle for a two-way deal if he wishes to stay in North America.

Islanders Trade Kylington to Ducks for Future Considerations | New York Islanders Oliver Kylington has been traded to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for future considerations.

MARCH 7 • NHL.COM

Immediately traded again Kylington was traded to the Ducks from the Islanders on Thursday in exchange for future considerations.

Impact Kylington's tenure as an Islander lasted all of 15 minutes after he was packaged from the Avalanche as part of the return for Brock Nelson. It appears the Islanders were not interested in keeping him around -- they already have eight healthy blueliners on the roster and Mike Reilly (chest) is expected to be back before the end of the season. Kylington will have a much better chance of getting into the lineup in Anaheim than he did in Anaheim or he would have on Long Island, especially after the Ducks dealt Brian Dumoulin to the Devils earlier Thursday. Kylington has four points through 13 NHL appearances this season.

He has a goal, three assists, two shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating.

GAME DAY: Oliver Kylington returns with Avalanche to face Flames for first time Oliver Kylington returns to Calgary with the Colorado Avalanche to face Flames for first time since leaving.

FEBRUARY 6 • CALGARYHERALD.COM

Activated Monday Kylington (upper body) was removed from injured reserve Monday.

Impact Kylington could make his return to the lineup for the first time since Nov. 27 against the Golden Knights, a stretch of 31 games on the shelf due to his upper-body injury. Still, even with Kylington taken off IR, he is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and may have to settle for a spot in the press box as a healthy scratch periodically.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play before break Kylington (upper body) is expected to return to action before the Avalanche play their last game before the break Feb. 7, per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.

Impact Kylington has been out of action since Nov. 27. He has one goal and two points across eight appearances this season. He should see some action as a third-unit blueliner, possibly replacing Sam Malinski in the lineup.

Lands on injured reserve Kylington (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, retroactive to Nov. 27.

Impact Kylington was labeled month-to-month Saturday, so he shouldn't be considered anywhere close to a return. Oskar Olausson was called up from AHL Colorado to take the open roster spot.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Considered month-to-month Kylington (upper body) is not progressing in his recovery and is considered month-to-month, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.

Impact Kylington has not yet been placed on injured reserve, but he could land on the IR list when Jonathan Drouin (upper body) is able to return. Boulding adds Kylington is not doing much activity, so he should not be considered close to a return. Even when healthy, he may not be able to make the lineup on a regular basis.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed week-to-week Head coach Jared Bednar said Monday that Kylington (upper body) is considered week-to-week, Bailey Curtis of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Bednar said after Saturday's game against Edmonton that Kylington was considered day-to-day, but the defenseman now appears to be in line to miss more time. The Avalanche are on the brink of beginning a week-long road trip that starts Tuesday in Buffalo, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Kylington sidelined for all five of those road matchups.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready to return Kylington (undisclosed) isn't available for Saturday's game against Edmonton, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

Impact Kylington also missed Friday's 5-3 loss to Dallas. He doesn't always draw into the lineup, but he probably would have played Saturday if available because Josh Manson (upper body) is also on the shelf. John Ludvig is set to draw into the lineup for the first time since Nov. 9 because of the Avalanche's injuries on the blue line.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers undisclosed injury Kylington sustained an undisclosed injury during Wednesday's 2-1 shootout win over Vegas and won't play Friday versus the Stars, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact While the Avalanche are in Dallas, Kylington is being evaluated in Denver. The 27-year-old defenseman has a goal and an assist in eight appearances in 2024-25. When Kylington is healthy, he'll be in the mix for a spot on the third pairing.
