2025 Fantasy Outlook
After spending all of the previous three years in the minors, Middleton got another chance at the NHL level when injuries piled high for the Avalanche's defense group. Middleton was limited to two assists, but he added 69 hits, 37 blocked shots, 28 PIM and 44 shots on net over 41 regular-season appearances. However, he didn't play in the postseason. Middleton will have a chance to win a job as a depth defenseman this year and likely slots in as the seventh blueliner on Colorado's NHL roster. He may not play regularly if the Avalanche are able to stay healthy on the blue line. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year contract extension with the Avalanche in January of 2025.
Reassigned to AHL
Middleton was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Middleton recorded two hits in 8:55 of ice time in Colorado's 5-0 win over Detroit on Saturday, and his reassignment comes after the conclusion of that game. That brings the Avalanche down to five healthy defensemen on the active roster, so unless Devon Toews (upper body) is ready to return for Monday's rematch against the Red Wings, the Avalanche will probably need to recall a blueliner before that game.
