Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Draws helper in season debut
Rotowire
Ivan logged an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Sharks.
This was Ivan's season debut at the NHL level. He had six points in 18 AHL appearances prior to his call-up. The Avalanche have rotated a number of forwards into and out of fourth-line spots this season, so Ivan may not stick there for a long stretch. He'll almost certainly head back to the AHL if Valeri Nichushkin (lower body) is able to return soon.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Promoted Wednesday
Rotowire
Ivan was summoned from AHL Colorado on Wednesday, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.
Ivan has two goals, six points and 14 PIM in 18 outings with AHL Colorado in 2025-26. The Avalanche have just 12 healthy forwards on their roster, even after his promotion, so Ivan will probably draw into the lineup as a member of the bottom six for Wednesday's clash against San Jose.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Sent down Saturday
Rotowire
Ivan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Saturday.
Ivan appears to have fallen short of securing an NHL roster spot to begin 2025-26. The 23-year-old could still earn a call-up later in the season if he performs well while with the Eagles.

Rotowire
Ivan was recalled from AHL Colorado on Wednesday.
Ivan has five goals and eight points in 39 appearances with the Avalanche in 2024-25. He also has a goal and an assist in two outings with AHL Colorado. The Avalanche have just 12 healthy forwards on their roster after recalling Ivan and Jere Innala, so both will probably be in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against Winnipeg.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Shipped to AHL
Rotowire
Ivan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.
Ivan could be recalled in the coming days since the Avalanche currently only have 10 healthy forwards on their roster. Valeri Nichushkin (lower body) is closing in on a return, but Colorado also sent Jere Innala down Monday, so the team will need to either recall another winger or roll with 11 forwards and seven defensemen against Winnipeg on Wednesday. Ivan has chipped in five goals and eight points over 39 appearances with the Avalanche in 2024-25.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Being evaluated
Rotowire
Ivan (upper body) didn't participate in Monday's practice because he is still being evaluated, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.
Ivan likely won't be an option for Tuesday's matchup against Winnipeg, but a timeline for his return is unclear beyond that. He has five goals, eight points and 34 shots on net across 37 appearances this season. Jonathan Drouin (upper body) will replace Ivan in Tuesday's lineup.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Called back up
Rotowire

Ivan was sent to AHL Colorado on Tuesday, but the move was apparently just a paper transaction, as he'll rejoin the NHL club ahead of Thursday's home game against Utah. Over five appearances with the Avalanche this month, he's logged two hits, a blocked shot and a plus-2 rating while averaging 9:08 of ice time.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Scores in loss to Tampa Bay
Rotowire
Ivan scored a power-play goal and took six shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Lightning.
Ivan has found the back of the net twice this season, and coincidentally, both goals have come with the man advantage. Even though he has cracked the scoresheet in three of his last five appearances, Ivan isn't expected to hold a prominent role on offense for the Avs -- even if he plays on the second line and the first power-play unit.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Nets first NHL goal
Rotowire
Ivan scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over Utah.
Ivan cashed in on his opportunity with the first power-play unit after Ross Colton (hand) left the game. The goal was Ivan's first in the NHL, to go with two assists, nine shots on net and a plus-2 rating through eight appearances. The Avalanche sent Calum Ritchie back to the OHL on Wednesday, so Ivan appears to have a bit more security in regards to staying in the lineup.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Returning from minors
Rotowire
Ivan was called up from AHL Colorado on Wednesday.
Ivan should immediately jump back into the lineup in a bottom-six role, as the Avalanche continue to play cap gymnastics with their forward group. In addition to Ivan, the team also brought back Nikolai Kovalenko and Matthew Stienburg, both of whom should also see minutes versus Boston on Wednesday.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Reassigned to AHL
Rotowire
Ivan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.
Ivan competed for a role on the Avalanche's fourth line during training camp. While he'll be sent to the minors Monday, the move appears to be procedural, and the 22-year-old is a strong candidate to rejoin the team ahead of Opening Night. Ivan hasn't yet made his NHL debut but could see a role while Artturi Lehkonen (shoulder) and Gabriel Landeskog (knee) are sidelined.

Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Competing for fourth-line role
Rotowire
Ivan scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 2-1 preseason loss to Utah.
Ivan made a good final audition for a fourth-line gig, scoring the Avalanche's lone goal in the loss. The 22-year-old forward put up 31 points in 67 regular-season contests with AHL Colorado last year. With opening rosters due Monday, Ivan might be with the Avalanche to begin the 2024-25 campaign because Artturi Lehkonen (shoulder) and Gabriel Landeskog (knee) are still recovering from injuries.
