Compher logged an assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 in Monday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Compher set up the second of Mikko Rantanen's two tallies in the game. In February, Compher has filled the second-line center role well with two goals and nine assists through 10 contests. The 27-year-old now has 41 points, 115 shots on net, 68 blocks and a plus-7 rating through 58 outings overall in what's easily been the best year of his career.

Compher scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, went plus-3 and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Compher has multiple points in each of his last three outings, picking up two goals and six assists with a plus-7 rating in that span. The 27-year-old has benefited from a small change to the Avalanche's top six, which has seen him partnered with Mikko Rantanen on the second line. Compher has a career-best 40 points (12 goals, 28 helpers), with 111 shots on net, 64 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 56 contests overall.

Compher scored a goal and assisted on three others in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over Edmonton. He added five shots on net and three blocked shots over 19:14 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
Compher's second-period tally initiated Colorado's comeback from a 3-0 deficit. He also had a hand in the final three goals -- two in regulation and on Mikko Rantanen's OT-winner. Compher, a second-line center, has six points over the last two games and is averaging nearly a point per game since late December, registering 22 points over 24 contests. That's been a big help for a team whose secondary scoring has been lax.

Compher collected two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old had a hand in the Avs' first and last goals of the afternoon. Compher's top-six role and spot on the second power-play unit has led to five multi-point performances in the last 16 games, but only three goals and 12 points in total over that stretch as his production remains erratic. Even so, he's already put together a career-best season with 34 points (10 goals, 24 helpers) in 54 contests.

Compher had two assists, three shots on goal and three blocked shots over 21:23 of ice time in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Compher, from behind the net, found Matt Nieto in tight quarters for Colorado's second goal then helped on Nathan MacKinnon's empty-netter. The first assist established a new career high in helpers, and the developing forward now has 22 on the campaign. Compher's 32 points overall leaves him just one short of the career high he set last season over 70 games.

Compher scored a goal on four shots and blocked one shot over 19:45 of ice time in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Compher was in the right spot to pounce on a rebound of a Samuel Girard shot for Colorado's second goal of the first period. The goal, Compher's 10th, snapped a five-game stretch without a tally, but he's been productive offensively while the Avalanche navigate injuries up front. He has 14 points over the last 17 games and is just three shy of the career-best 33 he had over 70 games last season. He appears to be settled in on the second line and is averaging a career-high 20:16 TOI.

Compher notched a power-play assist in Friday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Compher has gotten on the scoresheet in three straight games, logging a goal and four helpers in that span. He set up a Valeri Nichushkin tally early in the second period Friday. Compher is fast approaching his career-high 33 points from last season -- he's at nine goals and 20 helpers through 44 contests in 2022-23. The 27-year-old has added 84 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and nine power-play points while filling a top-six role regularly for the first time in his career.

Compher recorded two assists in a 4-1 win against Calgary on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Compher provided the primary assist on each of Mikko Rantanen's two goals. Compher has nine goals and 28 points in 43 contests in 2022-23. He was held off the scoresheet for five of six games from Jan. 2-14, but the 27-year-old's turned a corner with a goal and four points in his last two contests.

Compher scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Monday's 6-3 win over Detroit. He also had two shots on goal and one hit over 17:03 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
Compher was the secondary assistant on a Cale Makar goal, then potted his fourth power-play tally on a feed from Evan Rodrigues. With Valeri Nichushkin returning from an ankle injury, he joined Compher on the second line along with Mikko Rantanen. That pair of offensive forwards, plus a presence on the power play, could lift Compher's offense while the Avalanche navigate around Gabriel Landeskog's knee injury. The 27-year-old center has 26 points (nine goals, 17 assists) through 42 games, seven points shy of the career-high 33 he had in 70 contests last year, when he was primarily on the third line.

Compher scored a goal on five shots, dished an assist, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Compher ended a three-game point drought. Prior to that skid, he'd gotten on the scoresheet in four straight outings, so he's been a bit streaky lately. For the season, the 27-year-old center is up to eight goals, 16 assists, 77 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 39 contests. With Mikko Rantanen on his wing, Compher may have a bit more fantasy appeal in the short term.
