PARKER KELLY NEWS

Buries goal Tuesday Kelly scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.

Impact Kelly opened the scoring at 4:53 of the first period.

The 25-year-old center has five tallies, 11 points, 51 shots on net, 87 hits, 36 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 45 appearances. Kelly figures to remain in a bottom-six role, but he is one of the Avalanche's important defensive forwards.

Kelly has typically played on the third line this season, racking up 10 points, 49 shots on net, 83 hits, 36 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 43 appearances.

Sets up empty-netter Kelly logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Kelly made the generous choice, feeding Joel Kiviranta on the Avalanche's second empty-netter to complete the latter's hat trick. The 25-year-old Kelly has five points over 11 outings in December while seeing steady third-line usage. It's not a role that leads to consistent offense, but he has a little depth scoring in his game. For the season, the center has three goals, six helpers, 42 shots on net, 67 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 36 contests.

Buries shorthanded goal in win Kelly scored a shorthanded goal on three shots, added four PIM, logged two hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Kelly showed off his defensive skills and turned them into offense when he buried the game-tying goal on a shorthanded rush at 6:40 of the second period. The forward has four points through 10 outings in December. He's up to eight points, 40 shots on net, 67 hits, 32 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 35 contests overall. Kelly is firmly in a bottom-six role for the Avalanche, so it's unlikely he'll get enough ice time or produce enough offense to be a factor in most fantasy formats.

Deposits empty-netter Kelly scored an empty-net goal in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Impact Kelly produced the last goal of the game while picking up his second point over the last three contests. Outside of a couple of pockets of production, the 25-year-old has been quiet on offense this season. He's at two goals, six points, 33 shots on net, 51 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 29 games, primarily in a bottom-six role.

Generates helper Thursday Kelly posted an assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Kelly was listed on the fourth line, but his defensive work gives him a bit more ice time than the Avalanche's other depth forwards. The helper ended his six-game point drought. For the season, the 25-year-old has five points, 32 shots on net, 49 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 27 appearances. He has limited fantasy appeal, though he could be a fit in deep formats that reward non-scoring production.

Picks up assist in win Kelly notched an assist in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Capitals.

Impact Kelly helped out on linemate Miles Wood's game-winning goal at 3:29 of the third period. Over the last three games, Kelly has three points. The 25-year-old may be benefiting from a slightly smaller role since the Avalanche got some injured forwards back last week -- he's since shifted to the fourth-line center role after regularly playing on the third line. Kelly has four points, 27 shots on net, 40 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 20 appearances.

Two points in loss Kelly generated a goal on two shots, an assist and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Kelly opened the scoring in the contest before adding a primary helper on Nikolai Kovalenko's second-period marker. Kelly had one point this season before Friday's multi-point effort, so this performance was likely an outlier. The 25-year-old is occupying a bottom-six role and spot on the penalty kill, so he's relied upon more in the defensive zone. Kelly has notched a goal and two assists across 18 contests.

Makes huge defensive effort Kelly posted eight blocked shots, four hits and two shots on net in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.

Impact Kelly played a big role while the Kraken had an extra attacker on the ice late in the third period. The eight blocks were five more than any other Avalanche skater -- the team's six blueliners combined for 10 blocks in the contest. Kelly has filled a defensive role on the third line this season, picking up just one assist with 20 shots on net, 33 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 13 appearances.

Impact Kelly has four shots on net, four hits and a minus-1 rating through his first two games with the Avalanche.

He has yet to contribute 20 points in a single season, though he has topped the 100-hit mark in three straight years.
