Necas has been outstanding in his first full season with Colorado, but could miss his first game due to illness. The 27-year-old forward had a career-high 83 points (27G / 56A) in 79 games last season and is pacing to shatter those totals in 2025-26, with 39 points (14G / 25A) in 29 games, a 110-point pace in 82 games.
Colorado has signed Martin Necas to an eight-year extension worth $11.5 million AAV ($92M total).
Necas was acquired by Colorado in a surprising mid-season trade in 2024-25, sending Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes. The 26-year-old Necas has gelled seamlessly with his new team, playing almost exclusively alongside Nathan MacKinnon, scoring 41 points (18G / 23A) in 41 games since joining the team last January.
Necas (undisclosed) will return vs. Vancouver on Thursday.
Necas has not played since April 2nd but will draw back into the lineup on Thursday against the Vancouver Canucks.

Necas (undisclosed) will remain out on Saturday vs. St. Louis but is only considered day-to-day.

Line Change
Necas will make his Avalanche debut on Saturday afternoon.
The Avalanche have acquired Martin Necas from the Hurricanes in a three-way trade that included the Blackhawks.
Necas had an impeccable start to the season, scoring 14 goals with 30 assists (44 points) in his first 30 games. However, he's cooled off considerably in his last 19 games, scoring just twice with nine assists (11 points). Necas should see a significant uptick in minutes in Colorado, where he could land on a line with Nathan MacKinnon.
The Hurricanes have re-signed Martin Necas to a two-year deal worth $6.5M AAV.
Necas was an RFA whose name was at the top of the trade rumours all offseason, but he signs a two-year deal to stay in Carolina through the 2026 season. The 25-year-old winger saw his production take a step back last season, as he went from 71 points (28G / 43A) in 2023 to 53 points (24G / 29A) in 2024. With Jake Guentzel and Teuvo Teravainen not returning to Carolina this summer, it opens up plenty of ice-time and opportunity for Necas to take advantage of in 2025.

Necas (upper-body) is not on the ice for warmups for Friday's game in Washington.
