Ross Colton Healthy for Start of Season

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (groin) is back to 100 percent for the start of the season. Per Brennan Vogt of Hockey Mountain High, Colton took part in an informal skate on Monday. A pulled groin ended Colton's regular season early in the spring, and he featured in only one playoff game. The 28-year-old also missed time due to a broken foot, scoring 29 points (13 goals, 16 assists) in 61 games with 125 shots and delivering 145 hits. This season, Colton will probably be limited to a third-line role as long as the Avalanche stay healthy, but he could see some power-play time.

Ross Colton To Remain Out For Game 7

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (lower body) skated on Saturday morning but will not join the lineup for Game 7 against the Dallas Stars. Colton wore a red non-contact jersey during the morning skate. The 28-year-old missed the final four regular-season games and has not played against the Stars since the series opener. Colton averaged close to 0.5 points per game during the regular season, finishing with 16 goals and 13 assists in 61 games. If Colorado wins on Saturday and advances to the second round, Colton will be in contention for a third-line spot when he is ready to return.

Ross Colton Remains Out On Monday

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (lower body) will not play in Game 5 against the Dallas Stars on Monday night. This will mark Colton's fourth consecutive absence after he sustained a lower-body injury in the series opener. Luckily for the Avalanche, they have Gabriel Landeskog back in the lineup. He is set to continue in a second-line role and on the top power-play unit in Monday's game. Landeskog has registered two points (one goal, one assist) and eight hits in two games since joining the fun in Game 3.

Ross Colton Unavailable Saturday

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (lower body) will remain out of the lineup on Saturday against the Dallas Stars. The 28-year-old suffered a lower-body injury in the series opener and will miss a third consecutive game. Initially, the team replaced Colton with Miles Wood in the lineup, but Gabriel Landeskog has since entered the frame. The Avalanche captain ended a 1,032-day absence in Game 3 and will remain in the lineup on Saturday, moving up to the second line. Jonathan Drouin, who has registered two power-play assists in the series, will drop to the third line.

Ross Colton Uncertain For Game 2

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (lower body) is questionable for Monday's Game 2 against the Dallas Stars. He logged only 7:04 of ice time in Saturday's Game 1, missing most of the third period due to a lower-body injury. Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar told reporters Monday morning that Colton is feeling "not great." He didn't rule him out for the contest, but also wouldn't confirm whether Colton would be ready to play. Colton's spot in the lineup could be filled by Gabriel Landeskog (knee), who was activated from Long-Term Injured Reserve on Monday. Miles Wood and Jimmy Vesey are also options to replace Colton.

Ross Colton Tallies Three Points In Victory

Colorado Avalanche left wing Ross Colton tallied three points during their victory over the Minnesota Wild on Friday evening. In the second frame, Colton tallied his first point, with the secondary assist on Jack Drury's goal. Later in this period, Colton would find the back of the net for the first time. In the third, Colton would tally his second goal of the game on the power-play. This outing extended his point streak to two games. However, prior to this two-game stretch, the 28-year-old was riding a 14-game scoreless drought. During this stretch, Colton tallied just 22 shots on goal with a -6 rating. He added 38 hits and nine blocked shots over this span. Through 44 games, Colton has found the back of the net 15 times and 104 hits. He remains an option for deeper formats given that he does not see consistent playing time in the Colorado bottom six.

Ross Colton Rejoins Avalanche Lineup Saturday

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (foot) is expected to return to the lineup on Saturday versus Detroit. He has been activated from Injured Reserve ahead of the game. A broken foot has kept him sidelined since the end of October. Before suffering the injury, Colton showcased impressive form, scoring eight goals and nine points in 10 games. He'll rejoin the lineup as a member of the second line, linking up with Casey Mittelstadt and Valeri Nichushkin. Colton should also see action with the second power-play unit. He's had five points (four goals, one assist) with the man advantage this season.

Ross Colton Out For 6-8 Weeks With A Broken Foot

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (foot) will be out for 6-8 weeks. He broke his foot while blocking a shot in Monday's 5-2 loss to Chicago. In Colton, the Avalanche will lose their top goal-scorer. Colton has lit the lamp eight times in 10 games this season, adding one assist. Nikolai Kovalenko will replace Colton on the top line in Wednesday's matchup against Tampa Bay. The Russian winger has been limited to four points (one goal, three assists) in 10 appearances. But his productivity has improved in recent outings -- Kovalenko has tallied one goal and two assists in the past three games -- and the move to the first line will be a big boost to his fantasy value.

Ross Colton To Miss Time With A Lower-Body Injury

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (lower body) is expected to be out for a while. Colton appeared to have injured his leg while blocking a shot in Monday's matchup against Chicago. After the game, the 28-year-old was seen in a walking boot, and Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar said that Colton will miss "some time." Colton has been on fire to start the season, scoring a team-high eight goals and totaling nine points in 10 games. He has been utilized on the top line and on the first power-play unit. Nikolai Kovalenko might now get another look next to Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen.

Ross Colton Available On Sunday

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (hand) will play in Sunday's matchup against Ottawa. He made an early exit on Thursday versus Utah due to a hand injury, but luckily for the Avalanche, Colton won't be forced to sit out any games. The 28-year-old has been on a roll with seven goals and eight points in eight games. Colton is tied for the league lead with four power-play goals. He's in a good spot to keep his goal-scoring form going on Sunday, as the Senators have so far killed off only 75 percent of their penalties. They also allow 3.57 goals per game, the sixth most in the league.

Ross Colton Suffers Apparent Hand Injury Thursday

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (upper body) did not finish Thursday's 5-1 victory over Utah. He exited the contest after getting slashed on the hand. Colton, who has been in impressive form early in the season, opened the scoring with a power-play goal on Thursday. It's his fourth power-play goal of the year already, and Colton has tallied seven markers in total -- only Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov has been more prolific with eight goals. In eight outings, Colton has also picked up one assist. The Avalanche are expected to provide more info on Colton's injury on Friday. The team heads out for the next game on Sunday night versus Ottawa.

Ross Colton Produces Another Two-Goal Effort

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton had a second consecutive multi-goal night on Sunday against San Jose, scoring the first two goals in a 4-1 win. He opened the scoring with a power-play marker. Colton is benefiting from skating on the top line and the first power play unit. He heads into the new week on a three-game goal streak. Having scored six times across the campaign, Colton is tied for the second-most goals in the league. He's also had one assist in six games with 22 shots on goal during a hot start. The 28-year-old will be out to set a new career high with a four-game goal streak when Colorado faces Seattle on Tuesday night.

Ross Colton Pots Two Goals In Friday's Win

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton netted two goals to help the team secure its first victory of the season on Friday, beating Anaheim 4-3 in overtime. Colton doubled his goal tally for the year in the third period, netting his first marker on the power play. He finished with five shots in total and had one hit across 21:54 of action. Injuries have helped Colton to move up the lineup quickly, and he was part of the first line in Friday's game. The 28-year-old has scored in back-to-back games while collecting all of his five points this season in the past four games. There should be plenty more to come for Colton if he sticks with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen.

Ross Colton Considered Probable Tuesday

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.

Ross Colton Slapped With $5K Fine For Cross-Check

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.

Ross Colton Signs Four-Year Deal With Avalanche

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.

Ross Colton Traded To Avalanche

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.

Ross Colton Ready For Action Again

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Ross Colton (upper body) will be back from a one-game absence Friday versus St. Louis. The 28-year-old has managed to have a decent season in limited playing time, collecting nine points in 18 outings despite averaging only 11:27 of ice time. He has found it tough to crack the top six, but Colton has been a regular on the power play and it's helped him to generate some momentum offensively. In that sense, he returns in a great matchup, because the Blues have the third-worst penalty kill in the league.
