Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Nets lone goal in loss
MacKinnon scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Wild in Game 3.
MacKinnon has scored all five of his goals this postseason over the last four games. The center got the Avalanche on the board in the second period Saturday, but the Wild shot back just 20 seconds later on a Brock Faber tally. MacKinnon has earned 11 points, a plus-6 rating, 25 shots on net, seven hits and six PIM across seven playoff contests.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Steady in relief appearance
Blackwood stopped 12 of 13 shots in relief of Scott Wedgewood in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Wild in Game 3.
Blackwood put in a good performance over the better part of two periods. This was his first action this postseason after a regular season in which he had a 23-10-2 record with a 2.50 GAA and a .904 save percentage. Blackwood is in the playoffs for the second time in his career after he went 3-4 with a 2.71 GAA and an .892 save percentage over seven games in 2025. Wedgewood has been the better goalie so far, but it's not clear if Game 3 has caused head coach Jared Bednar to give Blackwood an extended look between the pipes.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Gets pulled in Game 3
Wedgewood stopped nine of 12 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Wild in Game 3.
Wedgewood will end up wearing the loss for this one after getting pulled early in the second period. Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 12 of 13 shots in relief. Wedgewood is now 6-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .911 save percentage over seven playoff appearances. His strong play throughout the postseason should count for something, but it's not yet clear which direction head coach Jared Bednar will go for his goalies in Monday's Game 4.

Avalanche's Tristen Nielsen: Scores two goals in AHL win
Nielsen scored twice in AHL Colorado's 6-2 win over Henderson in Game 4 on Saturday.
Nielsen was a beast in this postseason series, earning four goals and an assist over four games as the Eagles knocked out the Silver Knights. Nielsen is up to seven points, 22 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through six playoff outings. He'll get to continue playing with the Eagles as they move into the Pacific Division Finals.

Avalanche's Ilya Nabokov: Transferred to AHL team
Nabokov was assigned to AHL Colorado on Friday.
Nabokov was loaned back to Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the KHL for 2025-26 after signing his entry-level contract in May of 2025. He went 22-7-5 with a 2.74 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 38 regular-season games as well as 2-4 with a 2.53 GAA and an .892 save percentage in seven playoff outings. Nabokov looks set to be a full-time AHL option in 2026-27, though he may also get some playing time during the Eagles' playoff run this spring.

Avalanche's Jack Ahcan: Sent down to minors
Ahcan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Friday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Ahcan was left behind to suit up for AHL Colorado in the Calder Cup Playoffs thanks to the potential return of Josh Manson (upper body) from injury. The 28-year-old Ahcan logged 11 regular-season games with the Avs this year, but he has yet to feature in a postseason tilt. If the Eagles are eliminated from their playoff race, Ahcan will likely rejoin the Avalanche.

Avalanche's Josh Manson: Nearing return to action
Manson (upper body) could be available for Game 3 against Minnesota on Saturday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Jared Bednar told reporters the team was confident enough that Manson would be available that it opted to leave Jack Ahcan behind to play for AHL Colorado. If the 34-year-old Manson does suit up in Game 3, it will likely be at the expense of Nick Blankenburg, though Manson could also serve as a healthy scratch.

Avalanche's Alex Barre-Boulet: Gathers three helpers Wednesday
Barre-Boulet notched three assists in AHL Colorado's 4-0 win over Henderson in Game 3 on Wednesday.
Barre-Boulet is up to two goals and four helpers over five playoff contests. He racked up 26 goals and 44 assists across 70 regular-season outings with the Eagles. He'll continue to be a key part of the minor-league team's offense throughout the postseason.

Avalanche's Tristen Nielsen: Pots pair for Eagles
Nielsen scored twice in AHL Colorado's 4-0 win over Henderson in Game 3 on Wednesday.
Nielsen is up to three goals, two assists and a plus-4 rating over five playoff contests. The forward racked up 28 goals and 49 points over 66 regular-season outings in the AHL. He also had one assist and nine hits over four NHL games with the Avalanche in November. The 26-year-old will likely spend the length of the Eagles' playoff run with the minor-league team.

Avalanche's Trent Miner: Earns another shutout
Miner recorded a 20-save shutout in AHL Colorado's 4-0 win over Henderson in Game 3 on Wednesday.
Miner is up to three shutouts in five playoff games for the Eagles, including two in wins over Henderson. He's 4-1 this postseason and should continue to play the bulk of the games during the AHL club's playoff run.

Avalanche's Brent Burns: Grabs first point of playoffs
Burns notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Wild in Game 2.
Burns has played a bottom-four role this postseason, and he got on the scoresheet for the first time with a secondary helper on a Valeri Nichushkin empty-netter. The 41-year-old Burns has added a plus-2 rating, eight shots on net, eight hits and four blocked shots. He's exceeded 20 minutes of ice time just once in the playoffs, and his role is likely to shrink once Josh Manson (upper body) is healthy again.
