ROSS COLTON NEWS

Two helpers in Thursday's in Colton notched two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Senators.

Impact It's the fourth multi-point performance for Colton in the last 10 games, although he has only one helper in the other six contests combined over that stretch. The middle-six winger's spot on the Avs' second power-play unit helps boost his fantasy value in deeper formats, where he also contributes with his physical play -- Colton has 15 goals, 27 points, 112 shots on net and 135 hits through 53 appearances this season.

Two apples keep doctor away Colton put up two assists Saturday in a 7-4 win over Toronto.

Impact He also delivered three hits. Colton's growth this season has been hurt by injuries, and some might argue that recent trades by the team may have hampered his fantasy potential. We think otherwise. Colton is now slotted onto the third line where he truly belongs, and the Avs' acquisition of Charlie Coyle for its 3C is exactly the kind of move that adds both responsibility and danger to the third line. The Avs will attack in waves, and the third line of Colton, Coyle and Joel Kiviranta will reap the benefits because opponents will be keying on the top two lines. The trio had one goal and three assists Saturday.

Breaks out with three-point effort Colton scored twice on five shots, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Impact Colton has four points over his last two games, including a power-play empty-netter to close out Friday's win. Prior to this burst of offense, he had gone 14 contests without a point. That makes it tough to trust Colton in fantasy, though his physicality partially makes up for the times when his offense is quiet. He's at 15 goals, five assists, six power-play points, 96 shots on net, 104 hits and a a minus-6 rating through 44 appearances this season.
