EDGE Analysis

Graves connected for his first goal of the season during the third period, sending a shot through traffic that banked off a pair of Anaheim defenders on its way to the net. Graves has actually generated his fair share of shots on goal -- he's recorded three or more in 13 of 40 games this season -- but hasn't replicated the touch that enabled him to score nine times in 2019-20.

Graves managed an assist and six shots on goal in Friday's 2-0 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Graves set up Valeri Nichushkin for the opening goal at 17:12 of the second period. The assist ended Graves' point drought at four games.

Graves had an assist, five shots on net, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Graves picked up the primary assist when he rifled a puck to the net that created a rebound for Joonas Donskoi, who had an empty swath of net at which to shoot. For Graves, it was his second point in as many games and sixth in the last eight. It seems like everyone's getting in on the scoring act for Colorado, which has 53 goals in its last 10 games. Graves is up to 11 points (all assists) through 34 games.

Graves had an assist, three shots, one hit, two blocked shots and finished at plus-2 in Monday's 5-2 win over Anaheim.

EDGE Analysis

Graves was in the middle of scramble near the net and bagged the primary helper on Tyson Jost's goal early in the second period. It was his seventh point over the last 12 games for Graves, whose offense is coming around. His defense is, too, after he started the season failing to meet the expectations of head coach Jared Bednar. The second-pair blueliner is plus-13 over the last 11 games, a stretch during which the Avalanche are 9-0-2.

Graves notched an assist, three hits and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Coyotes.

Graves has been more involved on offense lately with six helpers in his last nine outings. The 25-year-old rearguard is up to nine assists, 60 shots on net, 48 hits, 52 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 30 appearances. Graves has mostly worked in a bottom-four role, and his lack of offense makes him a risky option in standard fantasy formats.
