Suffered groin pull
Colton missed the last six games with a groin pull, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Colton was previously ruled out for the first round, so it's not immediately clear if he would have been ready to play in the second round either. During the regular season, the 28-year-old winger notched 16 goals and 13 helpers, missing the 30-point threshold for the first time since 2020-21, when he logged just 30 games as a rookie.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
Colton's first season in Colorado was a fairly successful one, as he managed to rack up 17 goals and 23 assists for a career-high 40 points. It was the third straight season in which the versatile forward was able to reach the 30-point threshold. On the power play, the New Jersey native had a fairly minimal impact, recording three goals and two assists with the man advantage, but he should keep his role with the second unit heading into the 2024-25 campaign. As such, Colton figures to be a decent depth option in fantasy with a slightly higher ceiling thanks to being a part of Colorado's high-powered offense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Target for Nashville?
Colton could be a trade target for the Predators, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.
ANALYSIS
Colton has a no-trade clause that kicks in July 1, but it's rumored the Avalanche are looking to deal the forward. The Predators could deploy Colton in a middle-six role, though his $4 million cap hit would make him Nashville's third-highest-paid forward if the Avalanche don't retain salary.
