| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Matt Duchene  ActiveThe Colorado Avalanche will host the Detroit Red Wings in the third outdoor game and the second under the 2016 Coors Light Stadium Series banner. The contest will take place on Feb. 26, 2016. In Coors Field, the Avalanche have a logical venue for an outdoor game. Jan 24 |
| 2 | Nathan MacKinnon ActiveNathan MacKinnon scored and assisted in the Avalanche’s 3-2 shootout loss to the Lightning on Saturday night. The Avalanche were seven seconds away from leaving without a point until MacKinnon scored in the third period. He has nine goals and 27 points this season, certainly a bit under expectations. He makes for a good buy-low player in fantasy leagues. Ryan O’Reilly got the other goal. Jan 17 |
| 3 | Daniel Briere ActiveDaniel Briere is not in the lineup for the Avs in Wednesday's tilt with Boston. Briere hasn't recorded a point in six straight games and has just 11 in 40 games for Colorado this season. The 37 year-old is definitely showing his age will likely see his ice-time cut if he continues to be unproductive. Jan 21 |
| 4 | John Mitchell ActiveJohn Mitchell registered two assists in Colorado's 2-0 win over Chicago on Tuesday. He was also credited with four hits and three blocks. Mitchell didn't have a point in his previous five games. He has recorded 11 points in 26 games this campaign. Jan 7 |
| 5 | Marc-Andre Cliche ActiveMarc-Andre Cliche, Zach Redmond and Reto Berra are all healthy scratches in Thursday's game against Florida. None of the three players plays a particularly large role for the Avalanche. Cliche, Redmond and Berra don't show up on the fantasy radar. Jan 15 |
| LW | 1 | Ryan O'Reilly ActiveColorado executive vice president and GM Joe Sakic shrugged off trade rumors involving Ryan O'Reilly. "I know there are rumors out there. I saw them the last couple of days, but I can tell you that all the rumors come from Toronto, they don't come from us," Sakic said. "What we are going to do is see where our team is down the stretch. He's a core guy. We have him under contract for another year. Those decisions don't have to be made right now. And Ryan, he had a tough start along with our other guys, but he's been much better in the last few weeks as well, and we're happy with the direction him and those other guys are going right now." The Avalanche still feel they can push for the playoffs and their position in the standings could influence the decision of what to do with O'Reilly. Jan 23 |
| 2 | Gabriel Landeskog ActiveGabriel Landeskog scored a goal in Colorado’s 4-3 loss to Columbus. The goal ends a personal 14-game goalless drought for the Avs’ captain. The game was tied at three heading into the third period when Blue Jackets’ defenseman David Savard scored with just over a minute remaining. The loss ends Colorado’s two-game winning streak. Jarome Iginla and Cody McLeod also scored for Colorado. Jan 4 |
| 3 | Jamie McGinn  I.L.Jamie McGinn will likely miss the rest of the season after undergoing successful back surgery. "It went really well," coach Patrick Roy said. "But I would not be surprised if he's out for the season. We're certainly not going to push him on it." McGinn suffered a back injury against New Jersey on Nov. 15 and he hasn't played since then. Dec 11 |
| 4 | Cody McLeod ActiveCody McLeod took a shot off his foot in practice Monday, but he managed to play on Tuesday. He was viewed as questionable to play because of some swelling. McLeod had a shot a minor penalty for hi-sticking during his 8:24 of ice time versus Chicago. Jan 7 |
| RW | 1 | Jarome Iginla ActiveJarome Iginla passed Mike Bossy for 20th place in NHL all-time scoring with his goal in the Avs' 3-2 SO win over Boston on Wednesday night. The goal was the 577th of his career and 14th of the season as he now holds sole possession of 20th place all-time, just three goals behind Mark Recchi at 577. Ryan O'Relly scored with less than two minutes left to send the game into OT before the Avalanche eventually got the extra point in the shootout. Jan 22 |
| 2 | Alex Tanguay ActiveAlex Tanguay leads the Avalanche in scoring with 31 points in 45 games. He is tied with fellow veteran forward Jarome Iginla for the club lead in goals as well. Matt Duchene has 13 markers as well, but Colorado hasn't received the kind of production from him and their other young guns that they were expecting this season. Jan 21 |
| 3 | Jesse Winchester I.L.Jesse Winchester (concussion) has been shut down by the Avalanche. He is still experiencing vision and sickness problems as a result of a concussion he suffered in the preseason. Winchester has been fine when he skates at Colorado's practice facility, but he has issues in other surroundings. He will stick to off-ice workouts for now. Jan 1 |
| 4 | Patrick Bordeleau  SidelinedPatrick Bordeleau will be out for eight-to-10 weeks with a knee injury. He made his season debut on Saturday following off-season back surgery and now he's back on the sidelines due to a fractured knee cap. Dec 23 |
| 5 | Dennis Everberg ActiveDennis Everberg has been called up by Colorado. In 19 games with the Avalanche, he has one goal and four points. The 23-year-old doesn't have any fantasy value. Jan 15 |
| 6 | Borna Rendulic SidelinedBorna Rendulic sustained a broken leg on Thursday. He is out indefinitely. Rendulic has one goal and one assist in 11 games with the Avalanche in 2014-15. Jan 16 |
| D | 1 | Tyson Barrie ActiveTyson Barrie notched a goal and an assist as the Avs took care of the Panthers 4-2 on Thursday night. Barrie scored his fourth of the year to open the scoring and then added an assist in the third period on the game winning goal. Barrie has 28 points in 45 games so far this season. Jan 16 |
| 2 | Erik Johnson ActiveColorado Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson has been ruled out for Sunday's NHL All-Star game with a lower-body injury. The 26-year-old has 12 goals and 23 points in 47 games so far this season. This is probably good news for fantasy owners, as Johnson can use the weekend to rest and recharge to bolster his attempt to match the terrific first half he's had to the season. No replacement has been named yet, but you can bet P.K. Subban will be a trending topic. Jan 22 |
| 3 | Jan Hejda ActiveColorado wants to reduce the number of shots their goalies face. The top pairing of Jan Hejda and Erik Johnson usually faces off against the best the opposition has to offer. "Definitely we have to do better," Hejda said. " ... We're definitely trying to block shots and all that stuff, and at least I feel like a good amount of these shots are from the outside from the board and easy shots for a goalie. Hopefully we are helping them a little bit. We're definitely talking about trying to have better positions against the players so they cannot shoot that much, but I feel this is not something we can fix overnight. We're trying and we're trying to get better." Johnson leads the team with 98 blocks and Hejda ranks second with 79. Hejda is also second on the club with 105 hits. Jan 15 |
| 4 | Nick Holden ActiveNick Holden is expected to play his fifth consecutive game at Chicago Tuesday. He had been a healthy scratch for the previous four contests and is trying to reclaim the form he displayed during the 2013-14 campaign. "Last year, it was an unbelievable year," Holden said Monday. "The start of the year, it hasn't gone as planned. You have to keep working hard and do what you can do." In 54 games this year, he generated 10 goals and 25 points. Jan 6 |
| 5 | Brad Stuart ActiveBrad Stuart will play in his 1000th career NHL game on Thursday night in Pittsburgh. "It’s a nice accomplishment, something that you don’t really think about when you come into the league," Stuart said. "You’re just trying to stay in the league and establish yourself, and then as I got closer and closer I realized how it’s a pretty good milestone for someone to play that many games. It’s a lot games, but I’ve had a lot of fun and made a lot of good memories." The Avalanche will honor Stuart on December 23rd at the Pepsi Center. Dec 18 |
| 6 | Nate Guenin ActiveNate Guenin will draw back into the lineup on Thursday night. He has been a healthy scratch for the past four contests. Guenin will replace Zach Redmond when the Avalanche host the Islanders. He doesn't have a point in four appearances this campaign, but he has posted 10 blocks. Oct 30 |
| 7 | Ryan Wilson I.L.Ryan Wilson will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. Wilson was limited to just three games in 2014-15. He was originally sidelined for a suspected head injury and when he tried to return on Oct. 21, he sustained his current shoulder problem. His three-year, $6.75 million contract is set to expire this summer and he might have a tough time getting another one-way deal after playing in just 43 contests over the life of that deal. Nov 18 |
| 8 | Zach Redmond ActiveZach Redmond will remain a healthy scratch Monday against the St. Louis Blues. Even with all the injuries to the Avalanche players, Redmond can't seem to find his way into the lineup. Monday will mark the tenth straight game he will be a healthy scratch and even though he has four goals and six assists in 25 games this season, he still has no fantasy value if he can't get on the ice for games. Jan 19 |
| G | 1 | Semyon Varlamov ActiveSemyon Varlamov made 22 saves in Colorado's 3-2 SO win over Boston on Wednesday night. Varlamov wasn't overly busy in this game but made some key saves to keep his team in the game as they were playing from behind for most of the night. The win was his 12th of the season and he heads the All-Star break on a positive note. He carries a respectable 2.66 GAA and .921 save percentage into what fantasy owners hope will be a good second half into the playoffs. Jan 22 |
| 2 | Calvin Pickard ActiveCalvin Pickard is staying upbeat despite spending the last three games on the bench. Pickard is serving as Semyon Varlamov's understudy while Reto Berra spends some time in the minors on a conditioning stint. "I haven't played in a week, which in the big scheme of things isn't a whole lot of time," Pickard said. "But I get very quality practice time with the guys here and Francois (Allaire, the team's goaltending coach) is in town and I'm out there working with him." There's a fair chance he'll be in the NHL competing for playing time with Varlamov on a regular basis next season. If that happens, going a week without playing won't be unusual for him. Jan 21 |
