Compher scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win against the Flames in Game 2 of their first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

After a career year with 32 points in 66 outings in the regular season, Compher got on the board in the playoffs. The tally snapped an eight-game drought for the winger.

Compher rang a shot off the post and in for a goal during Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win against the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was Compher's 15th on the season as he inches closer to the first 20-goal campaign of his NHL career. A huge bump in shooting percentage -- up to 16.1% this year from 9.9 last year -- is driving the 23-year-old's breakout season.

Compher scored two goals -- one on the power play, the other the game-winner -- and added an assist in Friday's 5-3 victory over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

The three points were a season high for Compher, and he established new career highs in goals (14) and power-play points (eight) in the process. He's piled up four goals and seven points in the last eight games, and with the third-year forward carving out a regular spot with the man advantage for the Avalanche, Compher could have surprising fantasy value down the stretch.

Compher deposited his 12th goal of the season while shorthanded in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Winger Matt Nieto broke up a play while penalty killing in the second period, springing Compher, who tucked the puck behind Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck's left skate. Compher has three points in his last four games, bringing his totals to 12 goals and 23 points in 41 games for the year. Six of his goals have come on special teams (three on the power play, three shorthanded).

Compher is goalless in his previous 12 outings, despite averaging 5:15 of ice time with the man advantage over that stretch.

EDGE Analysis

Compher -- who has tallied four helpers during his goal drought -- continues to eat up big minutes (19:34 per game) despite not being able to find the back of the net. If the 23-year-old can't find his scoring touch soon, coach Jared Bednar may be forced to consider making a chance on both the power play and the second line.

Compher (head) is no longer listed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site. As a result, look for the American skater to draw into Friday night's road game against the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a long time coming for Compher, as he missed 16 straight games with a head injury. The third-year pivot started the season with three goals and an assist -- including a pair of power-play points -- over five contests, so he'll be a sneaky play in DFS contests upon his return.

Compher (head) will not travel to Western Canada for a pair of games against the Flames and Canucks, with the trip culminating in Vancouver on Friday, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Compher remains on injured reserve and there's no timeline for his return. At this point, the soonest that he can return is Nov. 7 against the Predators.

Compher (head) is still on injured reserve, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Compher has yet to return to practice with his teammates, so at this point there's no telling when he might be cleared to return to game action. The Avalanche will hope to have him back sooner rather than later, as he enjoyed a hot start to the season before suffering his injury, notching three goals and four points in five games.

Compher (head) is listed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

Since Compher's placement on injured reserve is retroactive to Oct. 13 (his last in-game appearance), the third-year pivot will not have to wait the standard seven days in order to be eligible for his return. However since it's a head injury that Compher's dealing with, it would be surprising if he returns anytime soon.

Compher will miss an undetermined amount of time due to a head injury, Adrian Dater of BSN Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Compher has gotten off to a hot start for the Avs this season, posting four points -- three goals and one assist -- through five contests, so his absence is one of significant note. More information regarding his status will likely surface when a timeline is established, but there's no clear return date in sight at this point.
