Tallies game-winner Kolyachonok scored the game-winning goal and fired two shots on net in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.

Impact With Robert Bortuzzo (lower body) facing a significant absence, Kolyachonok may finally get a look in Utah's lineup. He played just 9:47 in Thursday's contest, but his tally at 8:05 of the second period stood as the game-winner. He's played in just three of the last 18 games, and that's been exclusively in a limited third-pairing role. For the season, he's at a career-high five points with seven shots on net, nine hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 14 appearances.

Impact While that's not an encouraging workload for the young defenseman, Kolyachonok could be called upon soon to fill in for Maveric Lamoureux (upper body), who is out 4-6 weeks.
