Newhook posted an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Oilers in Game 1. Newhook has struggled to maintain a regular role in the lineup, but he's played in three of the Avalanche's last four games. His assist Tuesday came on the first of J.T. Compher's two goals in the game, which tied it at 1-1 just 36 seconds after Evander Kane opened the scoring. Newhook has two helpers, two shots, three hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in his three playoff appearances. When he plays, he'll likely be limited to a third-line role, though he'll have to hold off Nicolas Aube-Kubel for playing time.

Newhook logged an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-3 win over the Blues in Game 4. Newhook entered the lineup for the first time this postseason with Andre Burakovsky (undisclosed) unavailable. It didn't take Newhook long to make an impact, as he set up Erik Johnson for the first of the Avalanche's four second-period tallies. With 33 points in 71 regular-season contests, Newhook should provide a scoring touch from a bottom-six role as long as he's in the lineup.

Newhook (rest) is in Friday's lineup against Minnesota, per the NHL's media site. Newhook will skate in the final game of the 2021-22 regular season after he got a night of rest during Thursday's loss to Nashville. The 21-year-old forward has 10 points over his last 13 appearances, including three multi-point performances during that stretch.

Newhook (rest) won't play Thursday versus the Predators, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports. Considering this is the 21-year-old's first 82-game season, it makes sense for him to receive rest with the Avalanche's playoff positioning locked in. Newhook has looked effective with 13 goals and 20 assists in 70 appearances, and he may play Friday versus the Wild in the regular-season finale.

Newhook notched a pair of assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blues. Newhook helped out on goals by Erik Johnson and Josh Manson in the second period.

In the second, Newhook was able to find the back of the net despite being hooked on the play. The 21-year-old forward has 31 points in 65 games. Newhook also has seven points through seven April contests.

Newhook notched an assist in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Kings. Given the lopsided nature of the game, Newhook ended up leading Avalanche forwards with 16:56 of ice time. The third-line set up a Nicolas-Aube Kubel tally at 10:56 of the first period, which stood as the game-winner. Newhook has earned a goal and five assists in his last six appearances, giving the Avalanche some depth to their offense.

Newhook had an assist, four shots on net, two hits and one blocked shot over 16:30 of ice time in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Penguins. Whatever illness prevented Newhook from participation at the morning skate subsided by game time. He slotted in on the second line and looked healthy when muscling past a Penguin defender for a shot that eventually led to a J.T. Compher tally. Newhook has points in three straight contests.

Newhook could still play Tuesday versus Pittsburgh despite missing morning skate with a non-COVID illness, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports. If Newhook's able to go, look for him to slot into a middle-six role against the Penguins. The 21-year-old rookie has picked up 25 points through 59 games this season.

Newhook (illness) is on the ice for warmups, suggesting he'll play Tuesday versus the Penguins, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports. Newhook should avoid missing time with the illness despite being absent for morning skate Tuesday. The 21-year-old should slot into his usual middle-six role.

Newhook scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Sharks. Newhook tallied at 1:54 of the second period to get things going on offense. It was a much-needed goal for the 21-year-old, who entered Thursday on an 18-game goal drought and 10-game skid overall. The center is up to 12 tallies, 24 points, 99 shots on net and a plus-5 rating in 58 contests overall. While he got on the scoresheet, he'll need to show a bit more before he can be trusted in redraft formats heading into the fantasy playoffs.
