Gabriel Landeskog - W - Avalanche

Gabriel Landeskog scored and added two helpers in Colorado's 3-1 win over Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

He was named the first star of the game and definitely deserved it. The Avalanche captain has been on a heck of streak lately with seven goals in his last 10 games. He has 12 total points over that stretch. After a slow start to the season, he has 17 goals and 43 points in 64 games this year. Jarome Iginla and Nathan MacKinnon added the other goals for Colorado.

Daniel Briere - C - Avalanche

Daniel Briere will be listed as a healthy scratch once again Wednesday night against Pittsburgh.

He has played in just one game since February 12th and is unfortunately running out of time to make an impact on the young Avalanche team this season. He has played in 48 games this season, registering eight goals and 11 points with a minus six rating and 18 penalty minutes. The former 30-plus goal scorer is no longer an impactful fantasy player. Joey Hishon will make his regular season debut in place of Briere.

Joey Hishon - C - Avalanche

Joey Hishon will make his regular season debut Wednesday night against Pittsburgh.

Hishon has never appeared in a regular season NHL game but did play in three playoff games last season, picking up one assist. In the morning skates, he was on a line with Marc-Andre Cliche and Cody McLeod. The 23-year-old, former 17th overall pick won’t like carry any fantasy value this season but he does have upside for the upcoming years. Daniel Briere will be a healthy scratch.

Jordan Caron - W - Avalanche

Jordan Caron skated alongside Matt Duchene and Jarome Iginla at practice on Tuesday.

He didn't record a point in 11 games for Boston this season, but Colorado appears to be giving him a good opportunity to succeed right off the bat. "It hasn't always been the way I wanted it to be in Boston, so I'm excited for a new start and to prove people wrong and show what I can do in the NHL," Caron said.
