Kadri converted two of his four shots in just under 16 minutes against Chicago, logging slightly less ice time than his 18:50 average per game. He remains on Colorado's first power-play unit, ranking fifth among all Avalanche skaters in power-play time at 2:58 a night.

The center's workload and role remain stable for an Avalanche team with four games this week on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. He scored two goals on four shots in 15:51 of ice time against Chicago. Managers rostering Kadri should keep him active in lineups given his consistent deployment and quality of play.

What to do

• His strong underlying play and first-unit power-play role support his recent scoring pace.

• The 87 process grade suggests his production will remain steady over the coming weeks.
