Schwartz scored two goals in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Flames.
Schwartz's pair of tallies sandwiched two goals by the Flames in the third period. The 34-year-old winger has three multi-point efforts over four games with the Avalanche, providing valuable depth scoring from the third line. He's at three goals, three assists, nine shots on net, four hits and a plus-2 rating over four appearances. If Schwartz remains consistent on offense, he'll have appeal in fantasy since he plays for a strong team.

Avalanche's Jaden Schwartz: One of each in loss
Rotowire
Schwartz scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, doled out two hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.
Schwartz has picked up a pair of multi-point efforts through three games. His opening tally Wednesday was his first goal of the year to go with three assists, seven shots on net, four hits and an even plus-minus rating. The 34-year-old Schwartz isn't exactly in the best spot for offense, serving as a third-line winger, but he's getting the job done for now alongside Fedor Svechkov and T.J. Hughes.

Avalanche's Jaden Schwartz: Adds pair of helpers
Rotowire
Schwartz logged two assists (one on the power play), two hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Kings.
Schwartz was a bit of a splash in free agency for the Avalanche, but he opened the campaign on a line with young forwards Fedor Svechkov and T.J. Hughes. There's no guarantee that's where he'll be all year, but it could limit Schwartz's production in the early going, despite his positive team debut. Schwartz also carries a significant injury risk, having missed 20-plus games in three of the last five campaigns.

Avalanche's Jaden Schwartz: Collects three points
Rotowire
Schwartz scored a goal, added two assists and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-2 preseason win over the Jets.
Schwartz is penciled into a middle-six role and a spot on the second power-play unit for the Avalanche to begin the season. The 34-year-old winger's biggest challenge will be staying healthy -- he's missed at least 11 games in four of the last five campaigns, and at least 20 games in three of those years. Schwartz can contribute around a 40-point pace if he stays in the lineup, though the move from Seattle to Colorado could also give his offense a boost.

Avalanche's Jaden Schwartz: Ready for training camp
Rotowire
General manager Joe Sakic said Sunday that the Avalanche have no health concerns heading into training camp, which indicates that Schwartz has moved past his upper-body injury and is ready to go for the 2026-27 campaign, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Schwartz missed the final two games of the 2025-26 season for the Kraken due to his injury, but he has had plenty of time to recover during the offseason. The veteran winger signed a three-year, $9.75 million contract with Colorado on the opening day of free agency in July, so he will likely play an important role in the team's middle six for the foreseeable future. As long as Schwartz isn't a fourth-line player, he should have plenty of chances to contribute to the scoresheet on one of the league's best offenses, which would make him a fine depth option in most formats for the 2026-27 season.

Avalanche's Jaden Schwartz: Agrees to terms with Colorado
Rotowire
Schwartz (upper body) signed a three-year, $9.75 million contract with the Avalanche on Wednesday, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports.
After spending the first 10 years of his career in St. Louis, Schwartz joined the Kraken for the past five seasons. He made just 50 regular-season appearances during an injury-riddled 2025-26 campaign, recording 11 goals, 15 assists, 42 blocked shots, 32 hits and eight PIM while averaging 16:08 of ice time. The 34-year-old will get a change of scenery ahead of the 2026-27 season, and he should have an opportunity to carve out a role in Colorado.

Schwartz's injury could also keep him out of Thursday's season finale versus the Avalanche. The 33-year-old winger has been limited to 26 points in 50 appearances this season, his lowest totals in both areas in the last four years. Jani Nyman is likely to play in Schwartz's absence.

Kraken's Jaden Schwartz: Collects two points in loss
Rotowire
Schwartz scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
Both of Schwartz's points came in the third period, but the Kraken weren't able to catch up to the Blackhawks. These were Schwartz's first points in three games since he returned from a skate cut to the face. The winger is up to 11 goals, 23 points, 76 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 45 appearances. It's another year impacted by injuries -- Schwartz has missed at least 15 games in four of the last six years, which has made him a challenging forward to consider in fantasy on a low-scoring team.

Schwartz (face) will be sidelined indefinitely, the Kraken announced Monday.
Schwartz has appeared in 42 games for Seattle this season, in which he has recorded 10 goals and 11 helpers, including three power-play points.

Kraken's Jaden Schwartz: Leaves game Saturday
Rotowire
Schwartz won't return to Saturday's game versus the Senators after taking a skate blade to the face.
Schwartz was cut on his face late in the first period after Nick Cousins lost his balance following a hit from Eeli Tolvanen. For now, Schwartz can be considered day-to-day, though it's not encouraging that he was ruled out for the rest of this contest. If he's out Tuesday versus the Predators, Frederick Gaudreau (illness) or Bobby McMann (immigration) would be the candidates to take Schwartz's place in the lineup.
