Malgin had an assist and two shots on net over 14:36 of ice time in Saturday's 5-1 win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Malgin replaced Mikko Rantanen at the end of the first line's shift and dropped a pretty feed to an in-stride Nathan Mackinnon for Colorado's second goal. Malgin's showed offensive aptitude since joining the Avalanche and was recently moved up to second line. He has six goals and three assists over 29 games with Colorado.

Malgin scored a goal on two shots and delivered one hit over 9:19 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Malgin got the Avalanche on the board just two minutes into the game. He chased down Brad Hunt's clearing flip and sped by Juuso Valimaki before his nifty backhand shot got past Connor Ingram. He had a second goal wiped out in the second period due to a hand pass, but the fourth-line forward has provided an offensive spark of late. The tally was the third goal in his last eight shots over four games. Malgin's scored six goals on 38 shots (15.8 SH%) over 25 contests since joining Colorado.

Malgin scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Malgin has scored in back-to-back outings, and he has five goals over his last 11 contests. For the season, the 26-year-old forward is up to seven tallies, four helpers, 80 shots on net, 46 hits and a minus-3 rating through 46 games between the Avalanche and the Maple Leafs. As long as Colorado continues to carry just 12 forwards on the NHL roster, his place in the lineup should be safe.

Malgin scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Malgin was the recipient of a Cale Makar pass after the Avalanche came away with the puck in their own zone. The goal was Malgin's fourth over his last 10 games, but he's taken just 12 shots and doesn't have an assist in that span. The 26-year-old forward continues to log bottom-six minutes with the Avalanche. He's at 10 points, 77 shots, 45 hits and a minus-4 rating through 45 outings when accounting for his time with the Maple Leafs to begin the season.

Malgin had two shots on goal, one hit and two blocked shots over 14:37 of ice time in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Malgin, who's averaged 9:38 TOI since acquired by Colorado, was given prime shifts on the top line with Valeri Nichushkin (illness) unavailable. Normally a fourth-liner, Malgin has shown potential with the puck, but he was directly responsible for two Dallas scores. An off-target pass in his own end led the Stars' fifth goal, then he held the puck too long in front of his own net prior to the opponent's sixth marker.

Malgin scored a goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Malgin took a pass from Josh Manson and did the rest himself, padding the Avalanche's lead at 4:12 of the third period. Despite a very limited role on the fourth line, Malgin has scored three times in his last six contests. He's up to five tallies, nine points, 72 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-2 rating in 41 outings between the Avalanche and the Maple Leafs this season.

EDGE Analysis
Malgin found the back of the net at 2:20 of the second period to extend the Avalanche's lead to 2-0. It was his fourth goal and eighth point in 37 contests this season.

Malgin scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Malgin picked off a pass and scored at 2:03 of the third period for his first goal with the Avalanche. It was his third tally of the season, the other two coming with the Maple Leafs prior to a mid-December trade that brought him to Denver. The 26-year-old has seven points, 67 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-4 rating through 36 contests between the two teams this season, and he's mainly played in a bottom-six role with the Avalanche.

Malgin logged an assist in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Malgin missed nine games with an upper-body injury prior to his return Thursday. He was eased back into the lineup, playing on the fourth line and seeing just 8:03 of ice time. The 26-year-old was logging middle-six minutes prior to his injury, but it may be tough for him to regain that role after the Avalanche acquired Matt Nieto in a trade with the Sharks on Wednesday. Malgin is at six points, 60 shots on net, 40 hits and a minus-4 rating through 31 outings between the Avalanche and the Maple Leafs this season.
