Girard scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Stars in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Girard scored midway through the third period to produce the final score. The 26-year-old defenseman has impressed in the postseason, earning a goal, two assists, six shots on net, seven hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over four contests. He's playing on the second pairing and has enough talent to continue to be a decent depth scorer on the blue line.

Girard notched an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Girard set up a Valeri Nichushkin tally in the first period. The helper was Girard's second assist over three playoff contests, and he's added a plus-1 rating, three shots on net, four hits and two blocked shots. The 26-year-old blueliner continues to fill a bottom-four role with power-play time. He may continue to chip in depth offense but is unlikely to be a leader in that area for the Avalanche.

Girard notched an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Girard helped out on Valeri Nichushkin's game-tying tally in the second period, which evened the score at 2-2. This was Girard's first point in two games back after he missed four contests due an undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old blueliner is at 24 points, 95 shots on net, 110 blocked shots, 62 hits and a plus-5 rating over 72 appearances. He'll moonlight on the top pairing and first power-play unit again Sunday versus the Ducks, but expect Cale Makar and Devon Toews to retake those roles in the playoffs after both blueliners were rested for the Avalanche's final road trip of the regular season.

Girard (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Thursday's clash with Vancouver, Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Girard will be back in action following a four-game stint on the shelf due to his undisclosed injury. Despite having generated just one of his 23 points this season with the man advantage, Girard is expected to link up with the No. 2 power-play unit. Still, there isn't enough offensive upside here to make Girard a viable option in most fantasy formats.

Girard (undisclosed) will not be an option versus the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Girard will miss his fourth straight game due to his undisclosed injury and is running out of time to play again in the regular season. While the blueliner has managed 23 points this year, the bulk of that scoring was at the start of the 2024-25 campaign, as he has managed just three points in his last 19 outings. With Josh Manson (upper body) also sidelined, the Avs will utilize Keaton Middleton and Erik Johnson on the third pairing.

Girard was labeled day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Vegas, Meghan Angley of Guerilla Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Girard is currently mired in a 19-game goal drought during which he has managed just three assists and 20 shots on net. Between his injury absence and the offensive slump, the 26-year-old blueliner looks poised to miss the 30-point mark for the second straight year. If Girard remains out Tuesday, Keaton Middleton should continue to feature on the third pairing.

Girard notched an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Girard snapped a three-game dry spell on offense, though he also missed two games in that span due to a lower-body injury. The 26-year-old defenseman is playing in a third-pairing role for now, but he often sees top-four minutes as a more established option than Sam Malinski or Keaton Middleton. Girard is up to 23 points, 86 shots on net, 100 blocked shots, 55 hits and a plus-7 rating through 68 outings.

Girard (lower body) will play against Detroit on Tuesday, per Conor McGahey of Altitude TV.

EDGE Analysis

Girard will return to action following a two-game absence and see time on the second power-play unit. He has contributed three goals, 22 points, 83 shots on net, 94 blocked shots and 53 hits in 66 appearances this season. Girard will replace Erik Johnson (lower body) in Tuesday's lineup.

Head coach Jared Bednar ruled out Girard (lower body) for Saturday's game versus the Canadiens, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Girard will miss his second game in a row due to the injury. The 26-year-old's absence will allow Keaton Middleton to stay in the lineup. Girard's next chance to play is Tuesday at home versus the Red Wings.

Girard isn't in the lineup Thursday versus Ottawa because of a lower-body injury, per Brennan Vogt of Mile High Hockey.

EDGE Analysis

Girard is considered day-to-day, so perhaps he'll still be an option Saturday against Montreal. The 26-year-old has three goals, 22 points, 53 hits and 94 blocks in 66 outings in 2024-25. Keaton Middleton is set to face the Senators because of Girard's absence.
