Graves picked up two assists while adding three shots, three blocked shots, a hit and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old has been a consistent source of production in secondary categories all season, but this was Graves' first multi-point performance. He's up to eight points, all helpers, through 28 games with a more impressive 52 blocks and 44 hits, along with 56 shots on goal, 20 PIM and a plus-5 rating.

Graves posted an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Graves helped out on Mikko Rantanen's third-period tally. The assist was Graves' third in the last six games. The 25-year-old blueliner has produced only six helpers through 27 contests overall. He's added 53 shots on net, 49 blocked shots, 43 hits and a plus-3 rating this year, but the lack of scoring limits his effectiveness in fantasy.

EDGE Analysis

Graves had the secondary helper on Brandon Saad's goal in the second period. The 25-year-old Graves turned some heads with 26 points and a plus-40 rating in 69 appearances last season, but that success has vanished in 2020-21. The rearguard has only two assists, 23 shots on net, 24 blocks, 18 PIM and a minus-3 rating in 12 outings this year. He's still a sturdy defender with little doubt of his worthiness of a spot in the lineup, but he's probably not going to attract much interest in standard fantasy formats.

Head coach Jared Bednar said Graves had his "best game of the season" in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Vegas, Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Graves got off to a shaky start this season, was a healthy scratch for one game, and dropped from the second to third pair. He's turned it around of late, which has helped fill the gap while the Avalanche deal with injuries to Devon Toews (since returned), Cale Makar (upper body) and Erik Johnson (upper body). Graves has an even plus-minus with 12 shots, eight hits and 16 blocked shots over the six games since being a healthy scratch.

He was booted from the game with under two minutes left, picking up a 10-minute misconduct while arguing a hooking call. The 25-year-old blueliner, whose plus-40 led the NHL last season, has not been the same in the eyes of head coach Jared Bednar.
