Newhook had an assist over 6:34 of ice time in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 5 of their playoff series.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook, who was active for the first two games of the series before being made a healthy scratch for Games 3 and 4, provided a lift from the fourth line with his second point of the postseason. After sustained pressure in the Vegas end, Newhook controlled the puck in the corner and moved up the boards, patiently waiting for Joonas Donskoi to get into a prime scoring slot, and he delivered the pass that led to Colorado's second goal and a 2-0 lead. The series moves to Las Vegas for Game 6 on Thursday with the Avalanche facing elimination.

Newhook had one shot and one hit over 9:14 of ice time in Colorado's 7-1 victory over Vegas in Game 1 on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

There had been drama regarding Newhook's status after he skated outside the top four lines at Saturday's practice, but the 20-year-old was activated for the series opener. He skated on the right wing of the fourth line with Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and Sampo Ranta. Game 2 is Wednesday in Denver.

Newhook practiced Saturday with forwards that will most likely not play in Game 1 of the series-opener against the Golden Knights on Sunday, Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook lined up with the suspended Nazem Kadri and depth forward Kiefer Sherwood, while Sampo Ranta skated with Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and Carl Soderberg. That suggests Ranta could be active Sunday when the two teams square off, but head coach Jared Bednar is not tipping his hand. Newhook, who missed a couple of games with a lower-body injury, appeared to skate at full strength Saturday.

Newhook (lower body) is expected to be available for Game 1 of Colorado's next series, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The date and opponent of the series opener are yet to be determined, as the Golden Knights lead the Wild 3-2 in their first-round series. Whichever team wins that series will visit Colorado for Game 1, and Newhook -- who left Game 4 against the Blues in the first period -- is expected to be in the Avalanche lineup for that game.

Newhook (lower body) will not return to Sunday's Game 4 tilt with the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook was on the ice for just 1:28 before leaving the game during the first period. The 20-year-old winger scored his first career goal in the Game 3 victory. He'll be questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 if the Blues avoid elimination Sunday.

Newhook scored a goal in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blues in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook tallied at 12:37 of the second period, and his first NHL goal counted as Friday's game-winner. The 20-year-old had three assists in six regular-season outings. While he's played in all three playoff games, Newhook has seen very sheltered usage on the fourth line thus far -- he's not likely to receive many chances to contribute.

Newhook had one shot and one hit over 7:07 of ice time in Colorado's 4-1 win over St. Louis in Game 1 of their playoff series Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook was moved to the fourth line for the series opener, after the prospect lined up in a middle-six role during the regular season and averaged 13:41 of ice time. He may be out of place on the fourth line, a role that's better suited for Carl Soderberg.

Newhook produced a pair of assists and two hits in Monday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook helped out on the game-tying goal by Andre Burakovsky and the game-winner from J.T. Compher. The 20-year-old Newhook is up to three assists, three shots on net, three hits and a plus-4 rating through four games.

Newhook registered an assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook collected a secondary helper on a Cale Makar tally in the second period. The 20-year-old Newhook earned his first NHL point in just his second appearance. He centered the third line Friday with Nathan MacKinnon's (lower body) absence forcing Tyson Jost into a top-line role. Newhook's arrival is too late to help many season-long fantasy managers, but he could be a budget option for points in DFS and playoff pools if he sticks in the lineup.

Newhook had one shot on net over 13:20 of ice time, including 1:13 on the power play, in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook, making his NHL debut, centered the second line and won four of nine faceoffs. The rookie bumped Nazem Kadri to wing, but Kadri also took draws, winning five of eight. Head coach Jared Bednar offered the laconic response of "very good" when asked to evaluate Newhook's performance, per Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now.
