Compher scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Penguins. He also had a hit and finished plus-3 over 17:49 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
Compher's goal came when he cleaned up a loose puck after Alex Newhook was denied by Tristan Jarry. He later assisted on Josh Manson's tally. Injuries have taken out Gabriel Landeskog (knee) and Nazem Kadri (upper body), which prompted line changes that include Compher getting top-six minutes the last two games.

Compher had one shot and two blocked shots over 14:50 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Compher moved up to the second line in the Avalanche's first game without Nazem Kadri (upper body), who could miss several games. He's filled in on the second line previously this season, so there's some level of familiarity, although that line now features newcomer Artturi Lehkonen.

Compher had an assist, one shot on net and two penalty minutes in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Compher set up a Nazem Kadri tally for his third point in the last two games. He's now skating on the second line with Kadri and Andre Burakovsky, which could trigger a scoring surge for the usually third-line forward. Compher has 23 points (13 goals, 10 assists) over 54 games.

Compher scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and blocked two shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Compher's pair of points came in the first period, as he and Nazem Kadri set up each other's tallies. This was Compher's second straight game on the second line, and it appears to have sparked his offense a bit. The 26-year-old is at 22 points, 79 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in 53 contests. He's seen middle-six minutes throughout the season, but playing along Kadri should raise Compher's scoring profile.

Compher one shot on net and finished minus-2 over 17:19 of ice time in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Compher took a turn with the second line while Valeri Nichushkin continued to fill in for the injured Gabriel Landeskog (knee) on the top line. Alex Newhook and Logan O'Connor worked on the Nazem Kadri line before Compher was promoted Wednesday. When Artturi Lehkonen (immigration papers) becomes available for Friday's home game against the Flyers, more line tweaks are expected.

Compher scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Compher got a piece of a Cale Makar shot just before the second intermission to double the Avalanche's lead. In his last 13 games, Compher has scored four times on 19 shots, though he's not adding much else on the stat sheet. The 26-year-old is up to 20 points, 72 shots, 42 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 49 appearances -- a slightly better scoring pace than his 18 points in 48 contests last year.

Compher scored a goal and blocked four shots in Monday's 5-4 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
It was a solid two-way game for the 26-year-old center. Compher contributed one of the Avalanche's four goals in the third period and provided steady defense in a third-line role. The Illinois native is up to 11 goals, 19 points, 65 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 45 appearances. Three of his tallies have come in the last nine games.

Compher scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Compher tallied at 5:40 of the third period, tying the game at 2-2 as he tipped in a Jack Johnson shot. It was not a good February for Compher -- he posted two goals in 10 outings. The 26-year-old is up to 18 points in 41 contests, matching his output from 48 games last year, but he hasn't had much luck in generating offense from a third-line role.

Compher scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Sabres. He added one hit and one blocked shot over 15:15 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
Compher got on his horse and outraced, then outmuscled, Buffalo's Jacob Bryson for a puck. His shot was initially saved by Dustin Tokarski, but the rebound bounced up in air and landed behind the goalie for the Avalanche's second goal. The goal snapped a six-game point and goal drought for Compher, who's up to nine goals and 17 points through 37 matches.

Compher had two shots on net over 12:21 of ice time in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Compher continues to work hard at both ends of the ice, but it was another quiet night for the bottom-six forward. He opened the season as if he were ready to take his offensive game up a notch and become a depth scorer, but Compher has just five points in 21 games since Colorado resumed its season Jan. 2.
