  • Islanders' Marc-Andre Cliche: Traded to Isles, heading to minors

    Cliche was traded to the Islanders for Taylor Beck on Monday, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports, adding that Cliche will be assigned to AHL Bridgeport.

    This was a swap of minor-league players on a busy trade deadline day. Cliche, who is 28 years old, picked up 19 points in 38 games with AHL San Antonio but hasn't appeared in an NHL game this season. He has decent vision on the ice and is known for his solid line defense, but he's well off the map in fantasy leagues considering that he only mustered 14 points in 150 games with the Avs between 2013-15.

  • Avs' Cliche Nets First Goal

    Cliche scored his first goal of the season in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Islanders.As the Avs' fourth-line center, Cliche isn't asked to produce much offensively, as his seven points in 76 games last season would attest. He doesn't pile up the hits or penalty minutes, either, making it difficult to extract fantasy value from him even in specialty leagues.

  • Avs Ink Cliche To Two-Year Extension

    Cliche signed a two-year extension with the Avalanche on Thursday.After being claimed off waivers from the Kings earlier this season, Cliche has become a useful depth forward for the Avalanche, even if his modest numbers don't suggest as much.

  • Avs' Cliche Records Assist In Loss

    Cliche recorded an assist in Tuesday's loss to the Kings.It gives Cliche his first point since Dec. 31, a drought lasting 28 games.
