Jaden Schwartz scores twice for Avalanche in win over Blackhawks

Jaden Schwartz scored twice in Colorado's 5-2 win over Chicago on Monday, November 2, adding four shots and a block in 15:26. The Avalanche winger registered two points without time on the power play in his first game with his new club.

The two-goal performance sits well above the 0.56 points and 2.0 shots a night Schwartz averaged with Seattle before the move. His underlying play grades 32 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a measure of how sustainable his scoring is.

Jaden Schwartz

Schwartz played 15:26 against the Blackhawks, slightly below the 16:01 a night he logged with the Kraken. His four shots doubled his recent average of 2.0 per game, while the two goals far exceeded his 0.25 goals a night from his time in Seattle. The winger finished plus-1 with a block and no hits.

The 32 process grade reflects limited shot volume, scoring chances and ice time compared to other forwards, signaling that Monday's production likely overstates his scoring pace going forward. With Colorado playing four more times this week, including games Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, Schwartz offers streaming appeal in the short term but his floor remains modest given the underlying numbers and his role in limited minutes.

What to do

• Stream Schwartz this week while Colorado plays four games in six days.

• Expect his scoring to settle closer to 0.56 points a night once the two-goal spike evens out.

• Monitor his ice time over the next few games to see whether his role grows beyond the 15:26 he saw Monday.
