Girard notched an assist, four shots on goal, three hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Girard snapped a nine-game point drought when he helped out on Artturi Lehkonen's first-period tally. The 26-year-old Girard may get a bit more freedom to roam now that Josh Manson has been back for a couple of games since he missed 12 contests due to an upper-body injury. Girard has contributed 17 points, 51 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 35 hits and a plus-6 rating over 38 outings this season, serving as a regular in the Avalanche's top four.

Girard notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Girard has contributed four helpers over the last five games to provide steady offense in a second-pairing role. The defenseman is up to 16 points, 31 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-2 rating over 28 contests. Girard's usage is steady, including a little power-play time, and he's well on his way to doing better than he did in an 18-point regular season in 2023-24.

Girard notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Girard has enjoyed a decent November, racking up eight points over 13 contests.

Girard is up to 13 points, 24 shots on net, 24 hits, 44 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 24 contests in 2024-25.

The left-shot blueliner is skating alongside Josh Manson in the top four, and he's second among Colorado's defensemen in points behind only Cale Makar. Girard has compiled 10 points (one goal), 16 shots, 34 blocks, 15 hits and a plus-2 rating through 18 games.

Girard has been productive of late, notching four points in his last four appearances. With nine points through 16 games, he's on pace to surpass his career high of 37 points in 76 games from 2022-23.

Girard logged an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Girard helped out on Chris Wagner's first-period tally to open the scoring. The 26-year-old Girard hasn't found much consistency on offense this season -- he's gotten on the scoresheet in just four of 13 games, totaling six assists. He's added nine shots on net, 12 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. The blueliner continues to fill a top-four role, but he's a low-end option for fantasy managers.

He has five assists, three shots on goal, seven hits, 15 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over nine games this season.
