Malgin signed a five-year contract with the ZSC Lions of Switzerland's National League on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Malgin accounted for 13 goals, 21 points, 112 shots on net and 68 hits over 65 games between Toronto and Colorado last season. The 26-year-old forward racked up 21 goals and 52 points in 48 contests for the ZSC Lions during the 2021-22 campaign.

Malgin will not be qualified by the Avalanche, so he'll become a free agent Saturday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Malgin filled a depth role for the Avalanche in 2022-23, racking up 17 points in 42 contests after he was acquired from the Maple Leafs. The 26-year-old could earn some interest as a bottom-six option for a number of teams on the open market.

Malgin (undisclosed) is expected to play in Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Kraken, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Malgin missed Friday's regular-season finale versus the Predators, but he's good to go for the playoff opener. The 26-year-old has often seen top-six usage this season, but he'll begin the playoffs in a third-line role alongside Lars Eller and Ben Meyers.

Malgin (undisclosed) will not play Friday against the Predators, per the NHL's media site.

EDGE Analysis

Malgin was injured Thursday against Winnipeg and there's been no update on his status. The 26-year-old logged 13 goals and 21 points through 65 games with Toronto and Colorado this season. His status for the postseason is still unclear.

Malgin (undisclosed) left Thursday's game versus the Jets, and head coach Jared Bednar didn't provide an update on the forward's status for Friday's game in Nashville, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Malgin scored a goal in the first period, but ended up playing just 9:03 of the contest. The Avalanche will have a chance to win the Central Division on Friday, so if Malgin's healthy enough to play, he'll likely be in the lineup. The 26-year-old is expected to travel with the team.

Malgin scored a pair of goals in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Malgin got a lucky bounce to open the scoring 1:28 into the second period. His third-period marker was much more skillful, as he finished off a pass from Valeri Nichushkin for what ended up being the game-winner. Prior to Saturday, Malgin had gone eight games without a goal since scoring twice against the Blackhawks on March 20. The forward has 12 tallies, 20 points, 106 shots on net, 64 hits and a plus-3 rating through 62 contests between the Avalanche and the Maple Leafs this season.

Malgin notched an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Malgin took Alex Newhook's spot in the top six and did alright with it. Malgin's helper came on a Jack Johnson tally in the first period. With just two assists over his last seven games, Malgin's not making a huge impact regardless of role. He's at 18 points, 102 shots on net, 63 hits and a plus-2 rating through 60 contests between the Avalanche and the Maple Leafs this season.

Malgin produced an assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Malgin snapped a three-game point drought with the helper. He's seen less than 10 minutes of ice time in each of the last two contests -- the Avalanche's better health up front has reduced his role. The 26-year-old has 10 goals, seven assists, 98 shots on net, 56 hits and a plus-1 rating through 57 outings overall.

Malgin failed to generate a shot over 8:47 of ice time in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Malgin recently skated on the top line but was dropped to the third unit Sunday with Evan Rodrigues returning from injury. Malgin has 12 points (eight goals) over 33 games with Colorado.

Malgin had three shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots over 15:33 of ice time in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Malgin took regular shifts on the top line, replacing Evan Rodrigues (concussion). He took over for Rodrigues in third period of Monday's win over the Blackhawks, scoring a goal and assisting on another. Colorado head coach Jared Bednar liked what he saw and kept Malgin with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen. His stint with Colorado began as a fourth-liner, but Malgin's showed offensive instincts and slowly worked his way into a top-six role. He has seven points (five goals) over the last 10 contests.
