17 Tyson Jost C

Jost scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Jost's tally was the only Avalanche goal scored by a bottom-six forward in the blowout. He snapped a personal five-game dry spell with the tally. Jost is up to nine points and 47 shots on goal in 23 contests in 2019-20.

Jost (upper body) will suit up Saturday against the Maple Leafs, Rick Sadowski of NHL.com reports.

Jost returns following a three-game absence and will skate on the Avalanche's fourth line. The depth winger has appeared in 19 games this season, where Jost has collected four goals and four assists for eight points.

Jost (upper body) practiced in a non-contact jersey Thursday, Jessi Pierce of The Athletic reports.

Jost is clearly making progress in his recovery, but he'll need to be cleared for contact before making his return to game action. Once he's given the green light, the 21-year-old should return to a middle-six role and a spot on one of Colorado's power-play units.

Jost (upper body) is unlikely to suit up against Calgary on Tuesday, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.

While Jost hasn't been officially ruled out, he should probably be considered a long shot at best. With Matt Calvert (upper body) also unavailable, the Avs will need to either promote a forward from AHL Colorado or dress seven defensemen. Once cleared to play, Jost should remain in a top-six role, though the eventual returns of Gabriel Landeskog (lower body) and Mikko Rantanen (lower body) will push Jost down the depth chart.

Jost (upper body) won't suit up for Saturday's matchup against the Canucks, Marc Moser of Altitude Sports 950 reports.

Jost will miss his first game of the season. The 2016 first-round pick spends most of his time in the bottom six, and he's developed a solid offensive tough with eight points through 19 contests. Jost will aim to shake this issue by Tuesday's game against the Flames, and Jayson Megna figures to slot in on the fourth line for the time being.

Jost recorded two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Jost had the secondary assist on Samuel Girard's first-period tally on the man advantage. The center then had the primary helper as Cale Makar put the Avalanche ahead late in the second. After a run of seven straight scoreless outings, Jost has three assists in his last two games. For the year, the 21-year-old is up to eight points, 35 shots on goal and eight PIM in 17 appearances.

Jost posted three shots on net and two hits in a 2-1 loss to the Stars on Friday.

Other than his hat trick on Oct. 19, Jost hasn't produced much offense. However, it's not for a lack of trying. Since his hat trick, Jost has averaged 2.2 shots per game. The youngster has four goals and five points with six PIM in 13 games this season.

Jost scored three times in a 6-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday.

It was the young man's first NHL hattie. He did it in 10:58 of ice time. Jost is the epitome of a guy who's currently better on the ice than he is in the fantasy arena, at least right now. That's not to say his time won't come. But the Avs' depth up front will keep Jost in the bottom six and that limits his fantasy value.

Jost produced an assist in Monday's 6-3 win over the Capitals.

Jost had the lone helper on a third-period Matt Nieto tally that extended the Avalanche's lead to 5-2. The center has points in consecutive games after being held off the scoresheet for the first three contests.

Jost scored a goal on his lone shot in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Coyotes.

Jost's third-period tally made it 2-0 for the Avalanche, but the Coyotes wouldn't go quietly. The third-line center had been held off the scoresheet in the first three games of the season. He had 26 points in 70 contests last year. Jost will need to pick up the offense a bit, as he's only won three of 19 faceoffs so far -- while not typically a fantasy-relevant stat, a poor performance at the dot could see him shuffled down the lineup.

Jost will join up with Team Canada at the 2019 IIHF World Championship, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

While Jost will miss the opening game of the tournament versus Finland on Friday, he should be available for the remainder of the competition. In addition to holding open two spots, Team Canada is also looking to bolster its roster following the loss of John Tavares (oblique). The 20-year-old Jost set career highs in assists (15), points (26) and shots (114) in 70 games this season. The Alberta native will push for a more consistent top-six role next year and should challenge for the 30-point mark.

Jost scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks in Game 7.

Jost scored in three consecutive games, accounting for nearly half of the Avalanche's seven tallies in that span. He ends the postseason with four points in 12 games.

Jost scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win against the Sharks in Game 6.

Jost has scored in consecutive games, but only has three points in 11 games in the playoffs. He is seeing second-line minutes, which is likely responsible for his recent improvements on offense.

Jost scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks in Game 5.

Jost's goal came on an odd bounce in front of Sharks goalie Martin Jones, which was the only puck to beat the netminder in the contest. Jost has only managed two points in 10 postseason games during this run, making the 21-year-old an unreliable fantasy option.

Jost picked up an assist in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks for Game 1 of the conference semifinals.

Jost was held without a point in five games during the first round, but he was able to contribute to the offense with the helper on Gabriel Bourque's opening goal 2:10 into the game. Jost only has two assists in 12 career playoff appearances, but he's capable of heating up on short notice.

Jost dished an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

The helper gave Jost 23 points (10 goals, 13 assists) in 65 games, one more point than he had through as many appearances last season. Jost also has 108 shots on goal, but with only 44 hits and 31 blocked shots, he isn't likely to move the needle in most fantasy formats.

Jost scored his ninth goal of the season in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers on Monday.

Jost has done well in recent games, recording three goals and two assists in his last five outings. He had five shots on goal and two hits in Monday's contest. Jost is at 20 points in 51 games this season, giving him a good chance to exceed his career-high 22 from last year, but there are more productive options than this third-liner for fantasy purposes.

Jost scored a goal and two assists while posting a plus-3 rating in a 7-1 victory against the Jets on Wednesday.

His first assist came in the second period, but then Jost picked up another goal and an assist with the game already in hand during the third period. Regardless, Jost will take the points. He came into the night with just two goals, five points and a minus-6 rating in his 25 previous games. Overall, he has eight goals and 19 points in 48 games this season, which now puts him well ahead of his points per game average from 2017-18.

Jost recorded only one shot against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday, despite having logged 3:08 of ice time with the man advantage.

Jost was back in the lineup following a stint in the minors as well as an undisclosed injury. The 20-year-old needs seven more points to match his total from his rookie campaign and avoid a sophomore slump. The center's hold on a roster spot has been tenuous at best, so there is still a chance he could play some more games in the minors this season.

Jost (undisclosed) will suit up in Tuesday's home game against Toronto, Marc Moser of Altitude Sports 950 reports.

Jost was recently called up Monday, and will get a chance right away when the Avs take on the Leafs. It's unclear which line Jost will play on, but head coach Jared Bednar confirmed the 20-year-old will play center. The North Dakota product has just 15 points in 43 games this season, so it may be smart to take a cautious approach from a fantasy perspective with the centerman.
