Avalanche's Nazem Kadri: Scores twice in comeback victory
Rotowire
Kadri scored two goals, including a power-play tally, on four shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Kadri sparked Colorado's comeback with a first-period goal before redirecting Cale Makar's shot on the power play to give the Avalanche a 3-2 lead in the second. The veteran center has scored all four of his goals this season over his last five appearances, suggesting his offensive production is beginning to improve. His involvement on Colorado's second scoring line provides useful fantasy upside, particularly if his recent finishing form continues.

Avalanche's Nazem Kadri: One of each in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Kadri scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Devils.
Kadri was shuffled down to the third-line center spot after primarily playing as a top-six winger so far this season. The move worked, as Kadri and Jaden Schwartz each had two-point efforts. For the year, Kadri is up to two goals, eight assists, 33 shots on net, eight hits, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating across 13 appearances.

Avalanche's Nazem Kadri: Buries power-play goal
Rotowire
Kadri scored a power-play goal and added two hits in Friday's 6-3 win over the Lightning.
This was Kadri's first goal of the campaign. The 36-year-old forward has maintained a top-six role so far, primarily playing on the right wing, and he's relied on playmaking for his production. He's at eight points (three on the power play), 28 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 11 appearances.

Avalanche's Nazem Kadri: Dishes two helpers in shootout loss
Rotowire
Kadri notched two assists and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Stars.
Kadri is still searching for his first goal of the season. He's supplied five assists, 20 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over seven outings while functioning primarily as a winger for the first time in his career. Kadri's increased positional versatility is a boost for his fantasy profile, but it would be good to see him cash in on some of his chances soon.

Avalanche's Nazem Kadri: Helps out twice on power play
Rotowire
Kadri recorded two power-play assists and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Kings.
Kadri helped out on goals by Brock Nelson and Nathan MacKinnon in this contest. The 35-year-old Kadri has long worked as a center, but he's opening this year as a second-line winger alongside Nelson, giving the Avalanche some flexibility in constructing their lines. If Kadri sticks on the wing, he'll gain some versatility in fantasy, which could make it more palatable to roster him. He was held to 50 points in 77 regular-season outings between Colorado and Calgary last year, his lowest total in the last five years, and further age-related regression is a risk factor moving forward.
Kadri scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
Kadri had gone three games without a goal before his first-period tally Sunday. The veteran forward is up to three goals, five assists, 35 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-1 rating over 12 playoff contests. He's been playing on the wing lately but may need to move to the middle if Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) is unavailable for Tuesday's Game 4.
Kadri scored a power-play goal on five shots and added three hits in Monday's 5-2 win over the Wild in Game 4.
Kadri tied the game at 1-1 in the second period with his tally. The 35-year-old has two goals and three assists during his five-game point streak, with four of those five points coming on the power play. He's up to six points, 24 shots, seven hits and an even plus-minus rating over eight playoff contests in a middle-six role.

Avalanche's Nazem Kadri: Pots game-winner in chaotic win
Rotowire
Kadri scored a goal on eight shots, added two hits and went minus-3 in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Wild in Game 1.
This was Kadri's first goal of the postseason, and it stood as the game-winner after giving the Avalanche a 7-5 lead in the third period. The 35-year-old still had a bit of a shaky game from the third line, as he was the only forward trio to finish in the red for plus-minus in a game that was largely contested at even strength. Kadri now has a goal, two assists, 12 shots on net, three hits and a plus-1 rating over five playoff outings this year.
Kadri logged an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Kings in Game 2.
Kadri missed the last five games of the regular season due to a broken finger. The 35-year-old center is filling a third-line role to begin the playoffs, though he could shuffle up to the top six if the Avalanche run into adversity or injury troubles. Between Calgary and Colorado in the regular season, he produced 50 points, 213 shots on net and a minus-30 rating over 77 appearances. Kadri is a veteran of seven previous postseason runs, in which he collected 19 goals and 44 points over 52 appearances, including 15 points over 16 contests when the Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 2022.

Avalanche's Nazem Kadri: Set to play in Game 1
Rotowire
Kadri (finger) is expected to play in Game 1 against the Kings on Sunday, per DNVR Avalanche.
After missing five straight games because of a broken finger, Kadri skated on the third line and worked on the top power-play unit during Saturday's practice. He finished the 2025-26 regular season with 16 goals, 50 points, 213 shots on net and 50 hits in 77 games between Colorado and Calgary.
Kadri (finger) has been ruled out of Thursday's clash with Seattle, according to Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.
Kadri will sit out his fifth straight game after he was injured in St. Louis on April 7. Kadri had four goals and five assists in 16 games with Colorado after his trade from Calgary at the deadline, where he had 41 points in 61 appearances. His status for Game 1 of the postseason this weekend is up in the air.
Kadri (finger) won't play against Calgary on Tuesday, according to Eric Francis of Sportsnet.
Kadri will miss his third straight game against Edmonton on Monday, and he won't be available to face his former Calgary teammates in the second half of Colorado's back-to-back Tuesday. Kadri sustained a broken finger in last Tuesday's 3-1 win over St. Louis. Colorado may sit him again for Thursday's regular-season finale against Seattle to get him ready for the start of the playoffs.
