Alex Newhook

Newhook had an assist over 6:34 of ice time in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 5. Newhook, who was active for the first two games of the series before being made a healthy scratch for Games 3 and 4, provided a lift from the fourth line with his second point of the postseason. After sustained pressure in the Vegas end, Newhook controlled the puck in the corner and moved up the boards, patiently waiting for Joonas Donskoi to get into a prime scoring slot, and he delivered the pass that led to Colorado's second goal and a 2-0 lead. The series moves to Las Vegas for Game 6 on Thursday with the Avalanche facing elimination.

Newhook had one shot and one hit over 9:14 of ice time in Colorado's 7-1 victory over Vegas in Game 1 on Sunday. There had been drama regarding Newhook's status after he skated outside the top four lines at Saturday's practice, but the 20-year-old was activated for the series opener. He skated on the right wing of the fourth line with Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and Sampo Ranta. Game 2 is Wednesday in Denver.

From high above rinkside here at Ball Arena: the most newsy thing that I can derive from Avs practice today is the fact that Sampo Ranta skated on a line with two guys who will play Game 1 against either Vegas or Minnesota Sunday night, and that Alex Newhook skated with two guys who almost certainly won’t play Sunday night.

Newhook practiced Saturday with forwards that will most likely not play in Game 1 of the series-opener against the Golden Knights on Sunday, Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now reports. Newhook lined up with the suspended Nazem Kadri and depth forward Kiefer Sherwood, while Sampo Ranta skated with Pierre-Edouard Bellemare...

Newhook (lower body) will not return to Sunday's Game 4 tilt with the Blues. Newhook was on the ice for just 1:28 before leaving the game during the first period. The 20-year-old winger scored his first career goal in the Game 3 victory. He'll be questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 if the Blues avoid elimination Sunday.

The Avs extend their series lead to 3 – 0 off of a dominant depth performance including a game-winning goal from Alex Newhook. With sights set on the grand prize, the magic number is now 13.

Alex Newhook has been a point-per-game forward his entire hockey career. Give him another game or two with the Avalanche, and he just might be that at the NHL level, too.

Now playing for his fourth team since last fall, Newhook has a combined 34 points in 20 games for Boston College, Canada’s World Junior Championship team, the AHL’s Colorado Eagles and the Avalanche.
