Ross Colton News
Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (leg) looks ready to return to the lineup on Tuesday versus the Islanders, as head coach Jared Bednar considers him probable for the game. The 27-year-old has missed a pair of contests with a leg injury. Colton has had a decent debut campaign in Denver, recording 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) in 35 games while averaging just over 13 minutes of action. His return is set to push Ryan Johansen down from the second line.
Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton was handed a $5K fine for a cross-check to the face of New Jersey Devils forward Timo Meier during Tuesday's 6-3 win. Colton was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct at 10:44 of the second period for the cross-check. The incident came just moments after Colton dangerously hit Devils defenseman Luke Hughes into the end boards as it's unclear whether the 27-year-old will face further discipline for either incident. Colton scored his third goal of the season earlier in the contest, giving him four points in 11 games on the season while he has added 26 shots and 16 hits in 12:48 of average ice time in his first season with the Avalanche after parts of three seasons with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton has landed himself a four-year, $16 million extension. The 26-year-old had filed for arbitration before coming to an agreement on a new contract with the team. Colton is set to start his first season in Denver after being acquired by the Avalanche from Tampa Bay ahead of last month's draft. The former fourth-round pick has recorded 47 goals and 83 points in 190 regular-season games, while also delivering 377 hits. Colton will be the third-line center for the Avalanche next season behind Nathan MacKinnon and Ryan Johansen.
The Colorado Avalanche have acquired forward Ross Colton from the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning received the 37th pick of this year's draft in return for the pending restricted free agent. Colton himself is a former fourth-rounder who has developed into a solid NHLer during his time in Tampa. He is one of only nine Lightning players to post a 20-goal year within his first two seasons in the league, and Colton finished last season with 32 points in 81 games. The 26-year-old has totaled 47 goals and 83 points in 190 games for his entire NHL career. He won't set the world alight, but Colton should provide the Avalanche with solid third-line minutes.
