Newhook scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook tallied at 1:54 of the second period to get things going on offense. It was a much-needed goal for the 21-year-old, who entered Thursday on an 18-game goal drought and 10-game skid overall. The center is up to 12 tallies, 24 points, 99 shots on net and a plus-5 rating in 58 contests overall. While he got on the scoresheet, he'll need to show a bit more before he can be trusted in redraft formats heading into the fantasy playoffs.

Newhook had four shots on net over 12:40 of ice time in Friday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook had been skating on the second line the last few games but was dropped to the third line for Friday's contest. He had a few good looks among those four shots, which tied for the team high. Logan O'Connor moved up from the third line to replace Newhook, who has not registered a point over the last five games.

Newhook had one shot on goal and one hit over 18:54 of ice time in Sunday's 3-0 win over Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook had a season-high ice time Sunday, stemming from the lineup juggling necessitated by Gabriel Landeskog's knee injury. Valeri Nichushkin took Landeskog's spot on the top line, and Newhook moved up to the second line in Nichushkin's former position. Colorado's captain could miss the rest of the regular season, so there will be opportunities for Newhook as a top-six forward over the next several weeks.

Newhook registered an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 5-4 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook helped out on a J.T. Compher goal in the third period. The 21-year-old Newhook has assists in each of the last two games and five helpers in eight contests since he last scored a goal. The forward is up to 23 points, 81 shots, 29 hits and a plus-8 rating in 47 outings. If Andre Burakovsky (undisclosed) misses time, Newhook could be an option to fill in on one of the Avalanche's top two lines.

Newhook notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook set up Andre Burakovsky's goal in the first period. The return of Valeri Nichushkin (upper body) meant that Newhook returned to his usual third-line role. The 21-year-old center has racked up four assists in his last six games, but he's gone seventh contests since his last four. The Newfoundland native has 22 points, 79 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 46 outings.

Newhook had four shots on net, three hits and finished plus-1 over 17:16 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook was promoted to second line as a replacement for the injured Valeri Nichushkin (upper body), joining Gabriel Landeskog and Nazem Kadri. The rookie has been used as a tweener middle-six forward, typically skating as a top-six forward when others are injured. Newhook has one goal and four assists over the last eight contests and 21 points overall through 44 games this season.

Newhook logged an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook set up an Andre Burakovsky goal in the first period just after an Avalanche power play expired. The 21-year-old Newhook has collected a goal and four helpers in his last seven outings, though he hasn't notched a power-play point since Jan. 22. The young center is at 21 points, 71 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 43 appearances in his first full campaign.

Newhook provided a pair of assists, four shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook posted his first multi-point effort since Dec. 4. He helped out on goals by Tyson Jost and Valeri Nichushkin in the contest. Newhook has done alright with a goal and three helpers in seven games in February. The 21-year-old remains in a middle-six role, and he's up to 20 points, 67 shots and a plus-6 rating through 41 contests. That makes him more of a depth scorer in redraft formats, though he's still someone to hold onto in dynasty.

Newhook scored a goal on three shots and had one blocked shot over 13:21 of ice time in Saturday's 5-3 win over Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook got a break when the officials swallowed their whistles on a potential interference call against Colorado's Jack Johnson. The Avalanche went on an odd-man rush following the away-from-the-puck hit, and Newhook buried a gorgeous pass from Mikko Rantanen. It was Newhook's first goal since Jan. 28 and his 11th of the season. One game after a season low in ice time (9:02), the rookie forward opened on the fourth line and bounced between the bottom two lines all game.
