Hunt was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hunt hasn't played in either of the Avs' first two playoff games. With the Eagles kicking off the Calder Cup playoffs against AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday, the blueliner will likely see plenty of time with the minor-league club. Don't be surprised to see Hunt recalled to the Avalanche ahead of Friday's Game 3 clash with Winnipeg, though he figures to remain an emergency depth option for the big club throughout the postseason.

Hunt scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kings.

Hunt cleared waivers April 1, but he remained with the big club as they deal with a number of injuries on the blue line. He was in the lineup Saturday and delivered a go-ahead goal in the third period. The 34-year-old has four tallies, nine points, 44 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 44 appearances in a third-pairing role this season.

Hunt notched an assist in Monday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Hunt snapped a four-game point drought when he set up defense partner Kurtis MacDermid for the opening goal. With two assists over nine outings in March, Hunt is far from a scoring threat. The 34-year-old blueliner has eight points, 42 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 42 contests overall. Hunt and MacDermid are the two defensemen most at risk of exiting the lineup when Cale Makar (lower body) returns.

Hunt had an assist and one hit over 10:12 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Off an Alex Newhook faceoff win, Hunt cleared the puck from the Colorado zone in the direction of Denis Malgin, who outraced the Coyotes to it and beat Connor Ingram for an early Colorado goal. It was Hunt's first point since a recent recall from AHL Colorado. He's filling for the injured Josh Manson (lower body) and skating on the third pair. With both Manson and Kurtis MacDermid (lower body) sidelined, Hunt should be a regular in the short term.
