| 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 collected two assists in Colorado's 3-0 win over Nashville on Friday night. Max Talbot and Gabriel Landeskog were the beneficiaries of MacKinnon's offensive prowess as they scored off his efforts to bookend the game. Talbot simply cleaned up MacKinnon's rebound to make it 1-0 late in the first period, and Landeskog supported MacKinnon's attack to put home the empty-net dagger. The talented sophomore now has 20 assists and 29 points through 50 games this season. Jan 31 |
| 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.Coach Patrick Roy confirmed that Jamie McGinn (back) won't return this season. McGinn underwent back surgery in November and it was expected that he wouldn't play again this campaign. Now, we know for certain. McGinn posted four goals and six points in 19 games prior to having the procedure. Jan 28 |
| 4 | Cody McLeod ActiveCody McLeod was an assist away from registering a Gordie Howe hat trick Tuesday night. He scored a goal and dropped the gloves with Nashville's Paul Gaustad in the first period of a 4-3 overtime loss. It was his first goal since Jan. 4 and he came close to getting another one in the match. McLeod ranks second in the league with 98 penalty minutes in 49 games and he leads the NHL with 10 majors. Jan 28 |
| RW | 1 | Jarome Iginla ActiveWith his goal Friday night Jarome Iginla not only reached the 1200 point-mark for his NHL career tying him with Dino Ciccarelli for 46th spot all-time, he is within one goal of Mark Recchi for 19th on the all-time list. Iginla now has 576 goals, one behind Recchi's 577. He also leads the Avs' in goal scoring with 16 this season. At 37 years of age, Iginla does not seem to be slowing much. Jan 31 |
| 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 I.L.Patrick 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. He was sent down to the minors during the All-Star break. Everberg has one goal and four assists in 23 matches this season for the Avalanche. Jan 26 |
| 6 | Borna Rendulic I.L.Borna 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 I.L.Erik Johnson will be out of action for three-to-eight weeks with a knee injury. He had a knee scope performed on Monday. Johnson missed the All-Star Game due to the ailment. He has posted a career high of 12 goals in 47 games this season and he has 23 points. Jan 26 |
| 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 scored for the fourth time this season to give Colorado a point in the standings on Tuesday night. He tied the game with just 35 seconds remaining to force overtime against Nashville. The Predators won the game in the extra session on a goal by Craig Smith. Holden has 11 points and a minus-16 rating in 45 matches this season. Jan 28 |
| 5 | Stefan Elliott ActiveStefan Elliott will be a healthy scratch on Friday night against the Nasvhille Predators. Through 58 career NHL games since 2011-12, including just one game this season, the 24 year old Elliott has accumulated just six goals and 18 points with Colorado. That is not enough to suggest that he has much of any fantasy value for you at all. Jan 30 |
| 6 | 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 |
| 7 | 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 |
| 8 | 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 |
| 9 | Zach Redmond ActiveZach Redmond will play in his second stratight game on Tuesday night against Nashville. After sitting out for nearly a month, Redmond is all Coach Roy has left at his disposal now with Erik Johnson out. For what it's worth, he's slated to skate with Jan Hejda on the first unit. Redmond has 10 points through 26 games so far this season. Jan 27 |
| G | 1 | Semyon Varlamov ActiveWith his shutout against the Predators Friday night, Semyon Varlamov tied David Aebischer for second on the all-time Avalanche shutout list. Of course Patrick Roy is first with 37 followed by Varlamov and Aebischer at 17. Given that Varlamov has only been in Denver for what amounts to two and a half seasons, that is a nice accomplishment. Jan 31 |
| 2 | Reto Berra ActiveReto Berra has been brought up from the minors by Colorado. He hasn't appeared in an NHL game since Dec. 5, but he played in five games with Lake Erie of the AHL during his reassignment. Berra posted a 3-1-1 record with a 2.57 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage with the Monsters. He also scored a goal. Jan 26 |
