Newhook had one blocked shot over 9:02 of ice time in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
That's a season-low TOI for Newhook, who had just three third-period shifts in a tight, fast-paced game. The 21-year-old has flashed a scoring touch at times this season, but he's not quite ready for a top-six role. Newhook has 10 goals, seven assists, 60 shots on net, 25 hits, 11 blocked shots, 10 PIM and is plus-5 through 38 games.

Newhook produced an assist and fired four shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook picked up the secondary helper on Nathan MacKinnon's tally in the second period. With MacKinnon healthy again, Newhook has returned to a third-line role, which could limit his productivity on offense. The 21-year-old center is at 17 points, 60 shots on net, a plus-5 rating and 25 hits through 37 contests this season.

Newhook had one shot on net over 12:30 of ice time in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook slid back to the third line with the return of Nathan MacKinnon. He had skated on the second line with Nazem Kadri and Andre Burakovsky as part of the lineup juggle while MacKinnon was on the mend. The 21-year-old Newfoundlander has just six points over the last 21 contests, but the prospect appears to be in the NHL to stay after being demoted to the AHL for a stretch following the Avalanche's opening night win Oct. 13.

Newhook had three shots on net and one hit over 11:45 of ice time in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook missed Colorado's previous game due to a non-COVID-19 illness. He started Thursday's game on the second line -- part of the line adjustments to make up for Nathan MacKinnon's (nose, concussion) absence, but by the end of the game he was in a bottom-six role. Newhook's highlight for the night was when he hit the crossbar on a breakaway. With MacKinnon expected back Sunday, Newhook should move back to a third-line role.

Newhook (illness) will play Thursday versus the Lightning, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook missed last Tuesday's game versus the Coyotes, but the illness was never expected to keep him out for long. He'll play alongside Nazem Kadri and Andre Burakovsky on the second line in Thursday's contest. Newhook should also factor in on the power play, where he's averaged 1:37 per game this season.

Newhook (illness) will not play Tuesday versus the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook has a goal and an assist in his last two games, but that small point streak will have to wait until after the All-Star break to continue. He's out with a non-COVID-19 illness Tuesday. Dylan Sikura will play against the Coyotes, but Newhook will likely be fine for a Feb. 10 game versus the Lightning.

Newhook produced an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook helped out on a Nazem Kadri goal in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. The 21-year-old Newhook has a goal and an assist in his last two, corresponding to his promotion to the second line. The Newfoundland native is at 10 goals, six assists, 52 shots on net and a plus-7 rating in 34 contests overall. His offense may be a little too limited for redraft formats, but he's a player to keep an eye on in dynasty as he grows into his NHL career.

Newhook scored a goal on four shots and had three hits in Friday's 6-4 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook's stick reached a pass from Nazem Kadri before Marc-Andre Fleury's could and poked the puck past the goalie for his 10th goal of the season on the evening of his 21st birthday. The rookie had a score earlier in the game that was wiped out on review, because Kadri was offside on the play. The Newfoundland native was promoted to the second line as part of line juggling that resulted from an injury to top-line center Nathan MacKinnon (nose), who will miss at least another two games. Newhook filled in at one wing for Valeri Nichushkin, who skated as a winger on top line while Mikko Rantanen slid from wing to cover MacKinnon's spot at center.

Newhook scored a power-play goal along with four shots on net, one hit and one blocked shot in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook rocketed a feed from Samuel Girard past Cayden Primeau midway through the first period to give Colorado a 1-0 lead. The tally was a carbon copy of Newhook's previous goal, when the 20-year-old one-timed a laser in last Monday's win over the Wild. It was the ninth goal of the season for Newhook, who has 14 points, 46 shots, 16 hits, 10 blocked shots and is plus-5 through 30 contests.

Newhook scored a goal on four shots to go along with one hit and two blocked shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook scored a goal-scorer's goal, when he drilled a one-timer past Kaapo Kahkonen for this eighth tally of the season. It was nearly a power-play marker, coming just four seconds after Ryan Hartman was released from the box. The score snapped a six-game goal-less drought for Newhook, who has been slumping of late with just three points over the previous 12 contests.
