Cale Makar - Doing fine, might play ThursdayMakar (undisclosed) is feeling okay and might be able to play Thursday versus Winnipeg, according to Corey Masisak of The Denver Post on Wednesday.
ImpactThat has to come as a huge relief for the Avalanche, who haven't otherwise gotten much in the way of encouraging news on the injury front this season. Makar is a vital part of the Avalanche's blue line, and he's been one of the league's top players, providing five goals and 23 points through 13 outings in 2042-25. He registered two assists before exiting Tuesday's game due to the injury, so his season-opening point streak is still intact.

Ryan Winterton - Reassigned to minorsWinterton was demoted to AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.
ImpactWinterton's demotion comes after the 21-year-old made his season debut versus the Avalanche on Tuesday, registering three hits, one block and a minus-3 rating in 9:28 of ice time. With the team not back in action until Friday's matchup with Vegas, Winterton was joined by Cale Fleury and John Hayden in heading down to the minors -- at least for the time being.

Cale Fleury - Reassigned to AHLFleury was sent to AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.
ImpactFleury has no points, four hits and three blocks in two appearances with Seattle in 2024-25. Seattle doesn't play again until Friday's tilt versus Vegas, so it's possible the Kraken will recall him before their next game.

John Hayden - Headed back to minorsHayden was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.
ImpactHayden, along with Cale Fleury and Ryan Winterton, was returned to the minors Wednesday. The moves are likely a cap-saving measure with the Kraken not back in action until Friday's clash with the Golden Knights. Looks for Seattle to bring back one or all three players prior to puck drop Friday.
