Nieto tallied a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto combined with linemates Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and Matt Calvert for the goal at 6:05 of the first period. The 26-year-old left wing has three goals and six points in 12 games. That's solid depth scoring for the Avalanche, but his lack of physicality (eight hits, two PIM) limit his fantasy value to only deeper formats.

Nieto scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over Florida.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto knocked home a nifty centering feed from Pierre-Edouard Bellemare for his second goal of the season, both of which have come in the last three games. Nieto is never going to pile up the points in his bottom-six role, but he has reached the scoresheet in each of his last three games and the Avs.

Nieto tallied a goal on his only shot in Monday's 6-3 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto could have ended up with the game-winning goal, but John Carlson's potential tally for the Capitals was called back for offside. Still, Nieto has a goal and an assist in five games this year, which is acceptable production for a bottom-six forward.

Nieto has one assist with a plus-1 rating and two PIM through three games to open the 2019-20 season.

EDGE Analysis

Two seasons ago, Nieto tallied 15 goals, but that was behind a career-high 17.9 shooting percentage. Last year, his shooting percentage dropped to a career-low 4.7 percent. It should fall somewhere in the middle of those two figures this campaign, but the key for Nieto is accumulating more shots. He's averaging 1.0 shot on net per game through the first three contests of the 2019-20 campaign.

Nieto managed an assist in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Sharks in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto has a three-game point streak with two goals and a helper. He also blocked four shots Thursday. Nieto has contributed seven points in nine postseason games, earning some attention as a depth scoring winger with budget DFS appeal.

Nieto scored a goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto has provided solid depth scoring for the Avalanche with four tallies and two assists over eight postseason appearances. He's shooting 28.6 percent on 14 shots in the playoffs, well above his career rate of 8.9 percent. The productive burst can make the third-line winger useful for DFS formats.

Nieto scored his third goal of the playoffs in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Sharks. This was the first of the three to come at even strength, Ron Knabenbauer of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto isn't much of a scorer for the Avs (4-19-23 this season), but he was able to step up against his original team Sunday. "I think our line was grinding all night. We're in the offensive zone, not really getting a whole lot of looks but working down there and playing in the O-zone," Nieto said. "To get that one, where it is just sitting on the goal line and we're all battling to get there, that was nice."

Nieto registered an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win against the Flames in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto has registered two goals and two helpers in his last three games. He doesn't contribute a whole lot in other categories, with only three hits and seven shots in the series, but while the points are piling up, Nieto could be worth a look for DFS players.

Nieto scored a shorthanded goal and added a helper, two shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flames in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto has three points in the series so far, a somewhat unexpected burst of depth scoring from the California native. With the Avalanche dominating Game 3, there was plenty of offense to go around, but he may be worth a DFS look on Wednesday while he's running hot.

Nieto potted a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win against the Flames in Game 2 of their first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto hadn't scored since Dec. 6, a span of 39 games interrupted by a lower-body injury. He did have 23 points in 64 regular-season games, but without much of a physical edge to his game, he's likely safe to avoid in most fantasy formats.
