Three-point effort in loss Girard scored a goal and added two assists in a 7-3 loss to the Stars on Saturday.
Impact His goal came late in the first when his slapper deflected off the stick of the Stars' Tyler Seguin and past Jake Oettinger. Girard hasn't been able to replicate his offensive success from 2020-21 (32 points in 48 games), but he is on a pace that would see him best his career high of 34, set in 2019-20.

Helps on two goals Girard had two assists, two shots on goal, one hit and two blocked shots over 24:52 of ice time in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over the Oilers.
Impact Girard registered a second straight two-assist game and did a good job shadowing Connor McDavid in a game that Colorado's defense was not very good. The defenseman has picked up the scoring pace, recording two goals and 14 assists over the last 19 contests. He may need to continue in the same vein if the injured Cale Makar (upper body) is forced to miss more games.

Two helpers in win Girard picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
Impact Even with Cale Makar (concussion) and Bowen Byram both back in the lineup, Girard has stayed productive in recent weeks. The 24-year-old has recorded a goal and nine points over the last nine games, but he's never scored more than 34 points over a full season. Given his role on the Avs' blue line, Girard isn't likely to keep this hot streak going much longer.

Supplies assist to win Girard had an assist and one hit over 23:49 of ice time in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
Impact Like other defenseman on the roster, Girard is taking on more TOI with Cale Makar (head) out of action, including a regular gig on the top pair with Devon Toews. Girard, who averages a shade under 21 minutes per night, is averaging 24:11 TOI over the four games without Makar. He's also stepped up his offensive game of late, posting seven points (one goal, six assists) over the last eight.

Logs assist in win Girard had a short-handed assist, two shots on goal, two hits and three blocked shots over 25:34 of ice time in Saturday's 5-3 win over Florida.
Impact Girard's clearing attempt got past Carter Verhaeghe into the neutral zone, where Andrew Cogliano led a 2-on-1 break that resulted in a Logan O'Connor tally to open the scoring. It was the fifth time in the last six games that Girard has hit the scoresheet. The Avalanche may need more of this from Girard if Cale Makar's head injury lingers.
FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Helps on lone goal Girard had an assist, three shots on goal, one hit and one blocked shot over 22:34 of ice time in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to Pittsburgh.
Impact Girard welcomed back partner Bowen Byram from a lower-body injury, and the two defenders assisted on Nathan MacKinnon's second period goal. The helper extended Girard's point streak to four games (one goal, four assists).
