Avalanche's Jason Polin: Sent down after Sunday's game
Rotowire
Polin was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Sunday.
Polin logged two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in 5:03 of ice time during Sunday's 1-0 win over the Blackhawks. The Avalanche are dealing with multiple injuries up front, so it wouldn't be surprising if this move is just a cap-saving measure, which could result in Polin being elevated from the minors again in the near future.

Rotowire
Polin was reassigned to AHL Colorado after Tuesday's preseason game versus the Golden Knights.
Polin was with the big club to give the team's NHL stars a rest in exhibition play. The 26-year-old winger is unlikely to get much time with the big club once the regular season starts.

Avalanche's Jason Polin: Inks one-year deal
Rotowire
Polin signed a one-year, two-way contract with Colorado on Friday, Meghan Angley of Guerilla Sports reports.
Polin was pointless in two regular-season games with the Avalanche in 2024-25. The 26-year-old had 11 goals and eight helpers across 39 AHL regular-season contests. He should spend next season shuffling between the Avalanche and AHL Colorado.

Avalanche's Jason Polin: Called up by NHL club
Rotowire
Polin was recalled from AHL Colorado on Monday.
Polin made his NHL debut last season, recording a goal, 14 hits and two PIM while averaging 7:25 of ice time over seven appearances with the Avalanche. He's spent the start of the 2024-25 campaign with the AHL club, racking up seven goals and two assists over 21 games with the Eagles. Several of the Avalanche's forwards are dealing with injuries, so Polin will rejoin the NHL club and could see some time in the lineup.

Avalanche's Jason Polin: Inks one-year deal
Rotowire
Polin signed a one-year, two-way deal with Colorado on Friday.
Polin scored one goal in seven regular-season games with the Avalanche last season and tallied 10 points in 44 appearances with AHL Colorado between the regular season and playoffs. The 25-year-old could compete for a bottom-six role in training camp but will likely spend most of the year at the AHL level.

Avalanche's Jason Polin: Lights first NHL lamp
Rotowire
Polin scored a goal on two shots, blocked one shot and delivered two hits over 7:46 of ice time in Tuesday's 7-4 win over Ottawa.
The Avalanche had to dig deep on the second of a back-to-back set and fell behind 4-2 in the second period. Colorado got scoring from all corners of the roster, including Polin's first NHL tally. The fourth-line forward's snapshot beat Mads Sogaard to the far side 66 seconds after the Senators took a 2-1 lead. In five games since being called up from AHL Colorado, Polin has a goal, six shots, 10 hits and one block while averaging 7:33 TOI. With Artturi Lehkonen (neck) on the road trip and possible to return Thursday in Boston or Saturday in Philadelphia, Polin may lose his spot in the lineup soon.

Avalanche's Jason Polin: Recalled from minors
Rotowire
Polin was recalled from AHL Colorado on Monday, Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now reports.
Polin has yet to make his NHL debut after making the jump to the professional ranks at the end of the 2022-23 campaign. The 24-year-old winger has managed just one helper in 13 minor-league contests this year and figures to serve as an emergency depth option if Miles Wood (illness) is unable to play against Boston on Monday.
