Tatar appeared to be headed for a healthy scratch Tuesday, per Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now, but he was active when Valeri Nichushkin (illness) was unable to play.

Advice: Tatar stayed on ice after Tuesday's morning skate, which is typically an indication that a player would not be active for a game. He got a stay from being scratched and had one shot over 11:13 as a fourth-line forward. Colorado called up 2021 first-round draft pick Oskar Olausson for Tuesday's game, and he could be a permanent replacement for Tatar, if the Avalanche decide to cut the cord on the 32-year-old veteran. Tatar has yet to score on 14 shots and has eight assists through 23 games. Rotowire.com Today, 3:42 am

Advice: Hoglander tied the game at 5-5 with his third-period tally, sweeping in a rebound off a J.T. Miller shot. The goal was Hoglander's first in five contests. The 22-year-old winger will continue to be streaky as long as he's confined to a fourth-line role at even strength. He's at eight goals, three assists, 32 shots on net, 17 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 23 appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:47 pm

He's up to 10 goals, 23 assists, 87 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 18 appearances in a top-six role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:55 pm
