Avalanche's Trent Miner: Comes up short in first start
Rotowire
Miner turned aside 17 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Chicago.
The rookie goalie was beaten once in each period in his first career NHL start, while his offense had trouble solving Petr Mrazek in the other crease. Miner may not see any more action before returning to AHL Colorado -- the Avs don't play another back-to-back set until the final weekend of January, but Scott Wedgewood (lower body) figures to be back by then to back up Mackenzie Blackwood.

Avalanche's Trent Miner: Set to make first NHL start
Rotowire
Miner will make his first NHL start during Wednesday's road game against Chicago, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Miner made his NHL debut in mid-November and turned aside 12 of 13 shots (.923 save percentage) in relief during a loss to the Capitals. He was recalled by the Avalanche on Friday since Scott Wedgewood (lower body) was placed on injured reserve, and Miner will make his first NHL start in a favorable matchup, as the Blackhawks are scoring just 2.53 goals per game this season, which is tied for the second-worst mark in the league.

Avalanche's Trent Miner: Up from minors
Rotowire
Miner will be called up by the Avalanche on Friday, Meghan Angley of Guerilla Sports reports.
Miner has a 2.47 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 16 appearances with AHL Colorado in 2024-25. He's being recalled since Scott Wedgewood is dealing with a lower-body injury. Mackenzie Blackwood figures to get the majority of the starts during Wedgewood's absence, but Miner might play between the pipes during the Avalanche's upcoming back-to-back in Chicago on Wednesday and in Minnesota on Thursday.

Miner was summoned from AHL Colorado on Monday.
Miner will probably be Scott Wedgewood's backup in Tuesday's road game against Pittsburgh because Mackenzie Blackwood (illness) will be unavailable.

He made 12 saves on 13 shots in a relief appearance for the Avalanche on Nov. 15 against Washington during a 5-2 loss.

Avalanche's Trent Miner: Moved to AHL
Rotowire
Miner was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Saturday.
Miner made a relief appearance Friday, stopping 12 of 13 shots en route to a 5-2 loss to Washington. Alexandar Georgiev (upper body) is day-to-day, which is why Miner was with the NHL club. Colorado doesn't play again until Monday's road game against Philadelphia, so Miner might be recalled if Georgiev is unavailable for that match.
