Newhook registered an assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Kings. Newhook collected a secondary helper on a Cale Makar tally in the second period. The 20-year-old Newhook earned his first NHL point in just his second appearance. He centered the third line Friday with Nathan MacKinnon's (lower body) absence forcing Tyson Jost into a top-line role. Newhook's arrival is too late to help many season-long fantasy managers, but he could be a budget option for points in DFS and playoff pools if he sticks in the lineup.

Colorado head coach Jared Bednar said he hasn't determined what Newhook's role will be when takes the ice for the Avalanche, Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now reports. The coach wasn't sure if Newhook will line up at center or wing, but Bednar did confirm he'll play on both special-team units. The Avs added Newhook to the taxi squad ahead of a five-game road trip that began Monday night in San Jose. He was held out of Monday's game, because the coaching staff wanted to go over more video and review team systems. The next opportunity to play comes Wednesday against San Jose.
