Nieto has one goal, two assists, a plus-2 rating and 14 shots on net in the last 10 games.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old has cooled off a little since the middle of December, but that's probably to be expected after his blazing start. Nieto sits just nine points shy of a career high with half a season to go. His shooting percentage is a tad higher than his norm, but he's on pace to reach 100 shots on net for the first time since 2014-15, and that's more directly tied to his success. He has six goals and 18 points with a plus-10 rating in 42 games this season.

Nieto put up two assists in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Nieto is on a career pace and by a wide margin. His 18 points have him tracking toward at 38-point season if he continues this pace. Still, Nieto's fantasy value is limited -- all but two of those 18 points have come at even strength. Nice night, though.

Nieto scored a shorthanded goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 7-3 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Nieto restored the lead for the Avalanche at 14:28 of the first period, while Joonas Donskoi served a holding minor. It's the sixth goal of the season for Nieto, who has 16 points, a plus-9 rating and 52 shots through 37 contests.

Nieto has one goal and six points with a plus-6 rating in the last 12 games.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old isn't getting many pucks to the net or goals, but he's picking up assists regularly and contributing in plus/minus. Nieto only has one goal in his last 19 contests, but because he scored four times in the first month of the season, his shooting percentage is still higher than normal. He has five goals and 15 points with a plus-6 rating and 10.9 shooting percentage in 35 games this season.

Nieto recorded an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Nieto provided the secondary assist on Valeri Nichushkin's second-period goal. Nieto is up to 14 points in 30 appearances this season. He's managed a goal and four assists in his last seven outings, so there's signs that the 27-year-old may be heating up.

Nieto picked up an assist in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Nieto dished the primary helper on Nazem Kadri's second tally of the game, which gave the Avalanche a lead they'd never relinquish. Nieto has points in three straight games, and the winger has compiled five goals and seven assists in 26 appearances this year.

Nieto scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
With Andre Burakovsky in the locker room during the third period due to an upper-body injury, Nieto made the most of his time on the first line, converting on a Nathan MacKinnon pass. Nieto's goal snapped a six-game point drought for the winger. He's at five goals and 10 points in 24 games this season.

Nieto hasn't posted a point and has registered a minus-4 rating in the last six games.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old experienced a decent first month with four goals, nine points and a plus-4 rating in 17 games to open the season. Since then, though, Nieto has gone silent and has posted a plus-rating only once. However, there's still encouraging signs, as Nieto has five shots on net in the last three contests, and his four goals does already match what he tallied in 2018-19.

Nieto collected an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Nieto's helper came on the first of two goals scored by Cale Makar in the contest. Nieto has three points in his last two games and nine points through 17 appearances overall this season. The California native managed 23 points (four goals, 19 helpers) in 64 outings last year, but he's picked up the pace a bit in 2019-20, which might earn him some interest in deeper fantasy formats. However, his shooting percentage is at 14.2, compared to a career rate of 9.2 percent -- be wary that his current success seems a bit unsustainable.

Nieto scored a short-handed goal and added an assist in Thursday's 9-4 win over Nashville. He had two shots on goal.
EDGE Analysis
Nieto swatted a J.T. Compher pass out of mid-air to finish off a 2-on-1 and extend Colorado's lead to 6-3 eight minutes into the second period. It was Nieto's fourth goal of the year and his first shorty since last December. Nieto's four goals this season already match his output in 64 games all of last season and puts him on a pace to threaten his career-high 15 goals he scored in 2017-18.
