Calvert (undisclosed) will not suit up for Monday's Game 5 tilt with the Stars, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calvert has been absent for five consecutive games now and it's unclear when he'll be able to return if the Avalanche can keep their season alive Monday. He tallied three points in eight games since the NHL returned to play prior to his injury.

Calvert (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's Game 4 versus the Stars, Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver reports.

Calvert (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup for Game 3 versus Dallas on Wednesday, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.

Calvert (undisclosed) won't be in action versus the Stars in Monday's Game 2 tilt but is still considered day-to-day, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
In the five-game series against Arizona, Calvert garnered one goal, two assists and 12 shots while averaging 14:20 of ice time. The previously injury Vladislav Namestnikov slotted into Calvert's spot in the lineup in Game 1 and should continue to do so in Monday's matchup.

Calvert (undisclosed) was deemed "unfit to play" in Game 1 versus the Stars on Saturday, Adrian Dater of ColoradoHockeyNow.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is surprising since Calvert took line rushes during warmups. His absence will open the door for Vladislav Namestnikov to return to the lineup.

Calvert scored a goal and an assist Monday during the Avalanche's 7-1 win over the Coyotes in Game 4 of their first-round series.
EDGE Analysis
He set up Matt Nieto for the game's opening goal midway through the first period, then added one of his own early in the third as the Avs poured on the offense. Calvert went four games without a point to begin the postseason, not a surprising performance for a fourth-line player, but he now has a goal and three points in the last three contests.

Calvert (lower body) was close to returning when the NHL halted play in mid-March, so he should be 100 percent healthy once Colorado's training camp gets underway in July, Ryan Clark of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calvert was given a multi-week recovery timetable when he suffered his lower-body injury in mid-February, but he's had nearly four months to recover at this point, so it's hardly surprising that he's expected to be ready for the Avalanche's pre-postseason training camp. The 30-year-old winger has picked up 12 goals and 25 points while skating in a bottom-six role through 50 games this campaign.

Calvert (lower body) will be sidelined at least "a couple weeks," according to coach Jared Bednar, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to getting hurt, Calvert was stuck in a 10-game goal drought during which he managed just one helper. With the winger sidelined, Matt Nieto will jump up to the third line while T.J. Tynan slots back into the lineup after two games in the press box.

Calvert (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL's official media site.
EDGE Analysis
This move opens up a roster spot for the team to call up forward depth, and Calvert will miss the next three games. The severity of Calvert's injury isn't clear, but he won't be eligible to return until Saturday's road matchup versus the Kings. The 30-year-old Calvert has accrued 25 points (12 goals, 13 assists) through 50 games. T.J. Tynan is expected to enter the bottom six in his place Monday versus the Lightning.

Calvert suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday's game against the Kings, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Clark, there is no timetable for Calvert's return. Calvert skated 12:47 with two shots on goal and a hit in the contest. T.J. Tynan could enter the lineup if Calvert can't play Monday versus the Lightning -- the Avalanche may also call up a forward for depth.
