With Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) sidelined, Miner was given a rare glimpse of NHL action on Saturday and made the most of his opportunity, saving all 29 shots he faced for his first career shutout in a 4-0 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. In limited action, the 24-year-old Miner has a 1.81 GAA and .925 SV% in five career NHL appearances (1-1-2). The Avalanche enter the action on Monday as sizable -227 home favorites against a surging Toronto Maple Leafs team that has points in nine straight games (7-0-2).

Ivan made his NHL debut last season and scored eight points (5G / 3A) in 40 games with the Avalanche, but has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL. The 23-year-old Czech forward has eight points (2G / 6A) in 30 games with the Eagles (AHL) this season.

Toews briefly exited Saturday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes because of an upper-body injury, but returned to the game late in the third period. However, he did not play on Sunday and has been sidelined since, with a return in two weeks being the "best case" scenario. The 31-year-old Toews is averaging 22:20 time-on-ice and has 13 points (1G / 2A) in 40 games this season.

Landeskog collided with the opposing goal post in Sunday's game against the Florida Panthers and needed assistance being helped off the ice. The Avalanche faithful breathed a sigh of relief when the team revealed the injury was to his upper-body, not his knees, which had previously sidelined him for nearly three seasons. The 33-year-old Landeskog has 22 points (7G / 15A) in 41 games this season and has started to show signs of his old self, with 15 points (5G / 10A) in his last 19 games.

Blackwood has not played since New Year's Eve due to a lower-body injury and is still week-to-week. Trent Miner was recalled from the Eagles (AHL) in Blackwood's absence, but Scott Wedgewood has played every game since and should continue to have a heavy workload until Blackwood returns from injury.

After a remarkable 31-2-7 start to the season, the Avalanche, for the first time, have gone two games without a point (0-2-0), and hope for a strong performance from Wedgewood to help end their mini-slump. The 33-year-old Wedgewood has been excellent all season, but has shown signs of being human over the past two weeks, allowing three or more goals in four of five games (2-2-0), posting a .876 SV%. He has a 2.20 GAA and .917 SV% in 27 games this season (18-3-4). The Avalanche enter Tuesday's contest as sizable -257 home favorites against an Ottawa Senators team that has lost five of their last seven games (2-4-1).

Wedgewood played well in Colorado's most recent game, saving 23 of 25 shots (.920 SV%), but the team did not offer ample goal support as they fell 2-1 to the Florida Panthers for just their third regulation loss of the season. The 33-year-old Wedgewood already has a career-high 18 wins this season, along with a 2.17 GAA and .918 SV%. The Avalanche enter the action on Tuesday as slight -108 road favorites against a Tampa Bay Lightning team on a seven-game winning streak.
