Ross Colton - Won't play during opening round Colton (lower body) is not expected back during Colorado's first-round series against Dallas, Meghan Angley of Guerrilla Sports reports Tuesday.
Impact Colton has already been shelved for eight of the Avs' last nine games and now will miss two more -- assuming the series goes a full seven games. Even once cleared to play, Colton will likely be relegated to a bottom-six role, especially following the return of Gabriel Landeskog from a long-term knee injury.

Artturi Lehkonen - Tallies in Game 5 loss Lehkonen scored a goal, added four hits and added two PIM in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Stars in Game 5.
Impact Lehkonen has earned two goals, one assist, 13 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating over five playoff contests. He's still in a top-line role for now, but with the Avalanche facing elimination Thursday in Game 6, it wouldn't be surprising if head coach Jared Bednar bumped Gabriel Landeskog up to Lehkonen's top-line spot. Lehkonen is still a lock for top-six minutes and can add physicality with his scoring even if his usage is reduced slightly.

Martin Necas - Two helpers against Dallas Necas pocketed two assists Monday in the Avalanche's 6-2 loss to the Stars in Game 5 of their first-round series.
Impact The 26-year-old winger helped set up tallies by Artturi Lehkonen and Nathan MacKinnon midway through the second period, but the Avs' offense was otherwise quiet. Necas has had a sluggish start to the postseason, managing just three assists in five games while attempting only six shots on net, and he made need to find another gear Thursday if the Avs are going to avoid elimination in Game 6.

Nathan MacKinnon - Two points in Monday's loss MacKinnon produced a goal and an assist Monday in the Avalanche's 6-2 loss to the Stars in Game 5 of their first-round series.
Impact The 29-year-old superstar sparked a brief rally in the second period after his team had fallen behind 3-0, but it was all the offense the Avs could muster. MacKinnon has had a dazzling start to the series, racking up five goals and seven points in five games, but his playoff run could come to an early end with Colorado facing elimination in Game 6 on Thursday.

Scott Wedgewood - Needed in relief Monday Wedgewood stopped all eight shots he faced in the third period Monday after replacing Mackenzie Blackwood during the Avalanche's 6-2 loss to the Stars in Game 5 of their first-roun...
Impact The 32-year-old netminder was sharp in his first game action in over two weeks, but the hole Colorado found itself in heading into the final frame was too deep to climb out of. Blackwood had been playing well prior to Monday's collapse, so Wedgewood will likely be back on the bench for Game 6 on Thursday as the Avs try to force a Game 7.

Mackenzie Blackwood - Gets hook in Game 5 Blackwood gave up five goals on 18 shots Monday before being replaced by Scott Wedgewood to begin the third period of the Avalanche's 6-2 loss to the Stars in Game 5 of their first...
Impact After shutting out Dallas in Game 4, the 28-year-old netminder crashed back to earth in Game 5, starting with a Wyatt Johnston tally just nine seconds into the game that banked in off Blackwood on a shot from below the red line -- setting a new Stars franchise record for the quickest goal to begin a playoff contest in the process. Despite the stumble, Blackwood sports a 2.38 GAA and .909 save percentage through five outings this postseason, and he'll likely be back between the pipes for Game 6 on Thursday as the Avs look to avoid elimination.
