Dries was promoted to Colorado's active roster Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Dries has only drawn into one game with the Avalanche this season, dishing out four hits in 8:20 of ice time Feb. 2 against the Wild. At this point it isn't clear if he'll be in the lineup for Sunday's game versus Vegas.

Dries has been reassigned to Colorado's taxi squad, per CBS.

EDGE Analysis

Dries will shift to the taxi squad for now, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him back on the active roster ahead of Saturday's game against St. Louis.

Dries was called up from the taxi squad and will make his season debut Tuesday against the Wild, Scott MacDonald of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Avalanche reached down for a center after it was announced Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) is week to week. Both MacKinnon and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare (knee) were deemed week-to-week, so Dries could be around for another week or more. He's serving as the center on the fourth line.

Colorado recalled Dries to its taxi squad Friday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dries will be on hand as a depth option during the Avalanche's upcoming two-game series against Minnesota. The 26-year-old American went scoreless in five appearances with the big club last season.

Dries cleared waivers Saturday, Mike Chambers of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

After clearing waivers, Dries becomes a candidate for Colorado's taxi squad. The 26-year-old center scored 21 goals with 14 assists over 50 games for AHL Colorado in 2019-20.

Colorado waived Dries on Friday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Assuming he clears waivers, Dries will be a candidate for a spot on the Avalanche's taxi squad. The 26-year-old forward totaled 21 goals and 35 points in 50 AHL games last campaign.

Dries signed a one-year contract with the Avalanche on Friday, Adrian Dater of ColoradoHockeyNow.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dries led AHL Colorado with 21 goals last season and ended up playing six games, including one playoff game, with the big club. The 26-year-old will return to the team and vie for a full-time NHL role, and he'll need a strong training camp to secure that job. More likely than not, he'll spend time at both levels next season.

The Avalanche assigned Dries to AHL Colorado on Tuesday, Adrian Dater of ColoradoHockeyNow.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dries' demotion suggests that at least one of Colorado's injured forwards should be ready to return Wednesday against the Rangers. The 25-year-old American went scoreless in two appearances while averaging a mere 5:16 of ice time per contest during his brief stay with the big club.

The Avalanche recalled Dries from AHL Colorado on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Avalanche only had 11 healthy forwards on their roster prior to Dries' promotion, so he'll likely slot into a bottom-six role for Friday's clash with the Canucks. The 25-year-old American has gone scoreless while averaging 7:55 of ice time in three appearances with the big club this campaign.

Dries practiced with the Avalanche on Tuesday, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dries was temporarily sent to the minors Sunday in order to make him eligible for the AHL playoffs, but it's not surprising to see him right back with the big club. The 25-year-old American is expected to skate on Colorado's fourth line against Buffalo on Wednesday.
