Calvert scored a goal on four shots and posted three hits with a plus-1 rating in a 3-2 overtime loss against the Penguins on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old is proving early this season that his career highs from his first season in Colorado last season weren't a fluke. In six games, he has a goal and four points with a plus-4 rating this season. Calvert hasn't spent anytime in the penalty box yet, but he posted a career-high 58 PIM last season too, so clearly, there's a lot to like with the bottom-six wing in deeper formats. In addition to four points, he has 10 hits and 10 shots in six games.

Calvert produced an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Calvert had the lone helper on Pierre-Edouard Bellemare's game-tying goal in the second period. The winger has an assist in each of his three appearances this season, and he's at a plus-4 rating. Calvert is usually good to produce a point total in the mid-20s each season, as he has recorded between 23 and 26 points in five of the last six campaigns.

Calvert (upper body) was not listed on the Avalanche's injury report heading into Thursday's preseason matchup with Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Calvert was forced to miss the final three games of the postseason due to his upper-body problem. The winger should be capable of reaching the 20-point mark for a seventh time in 2019-20, which makes him a decent mid-range fantasy option, despite a bottom-six role.

Calvert missed Wednesday's Game 7 loss to the Sharks due to an upper-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Although Calvert was unable to rejoin the lineup prior to Colorado's elimination from the playoffs, his upper-body injury isn't believed to be overly serious, so he should be back to 100 percent well ahead of next season's training camp. The veteran forward will play an important role for the Avalanche as a penalty-killing specialist in 2019-20, but his lack of offensive upside will keep him off the radar in most fantasy formats.

Calvert (upper body) wasn't on the ice for Wednesday's morning skate, which indicates he likely won't be in the lineup for Game 7 against San Jose, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Calvert still sidelined, the Avalanche appear poised to roll with seven defensemen and 11 forwards for a second straight game Wednesday, which was clearly a recipe for success during their Game 6 win. If Colorado is able to pull off the upset over the Sharks in Game 7, Calvert will likely get an opportunity to rejoin the lineup at some point during the Western Conference finals against St. Louis.

Calvert -- who sat out Game 5 due to an upper-body injury, per Josh Dubow of The Durango Herald -- was absent from Monday's game-day skate and figures to miss Game 6 against San Jose, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calvert appears to have aggravated the same upper-body issue that held him out for Game 4. Without the winger available, the club is poised to dress Patrik Nemeth as a seventh defensemen, rather than forward Sven Andrighetto. At this point, Calvert should be considered questionable at best to return for a potential Game 7 on Wednesday.

Calvert posted an assist and two shots in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Sharks in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Calvert has four assists over his last five games, having missed Game 3 against the Sharks with an upper-boy injury. The winger is more noted for his physical play, with 18 PIM and 21 hits in eight games in the playoffs, but he can also provide some depth scoring.

Calvert will lace up the skates for Thursday's Game 4 against the Sharks, Adrian Dater of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calvert skipped Game 3 because of the upper-body issue, but it appears the bottom-six winger has avoided a major injury and will be back in the fold for the Avs on Saturday. He tallied two assists in Game 2 and owns three points this postseason, making him a potential sleeper for DFS lineups.

Calvert (upper body) is considered questionable for Thursday's Game 4 against San Jose, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calvert missed Tuesday's Game 3 due to an upper-body injury, but he was a full participant at practice Wednesday, and appears to be on track to rejoin the lineup Thursday. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Avalanche wait until pregame warmups to release official word on the veteran forward's status for Game 4.

Calvert (upper body) will return to the lineup for Thursday's Game 4 clash with San Jose, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calvert missed Game 3 due to his upper-body issue, but should slot back into a bottom-six role. The winger notched a pair of assists his last time out and will no doubt be eager to get back on the scoresheet. Sven Andrighetto figures to be the odd man out once again.
