Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Four-game goal streak

His goal came at the 14:20 mark of the third period when he tipped in a lofted backhand shot from Samuel Girard in the high slot. Kiviranta isn't really known for his offense, but he's on a four-game, four-goal streak, which brings him up to 15 goals (six assists) in 66 appearances this season. This run is lightning in the proverbial bottle for Kiviranta, but you can't ignore the heat. He may help you in the next couple of games if you're streaming.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Nets empty-netter Monday
Kiviranta scored an empty-netter in Monday's 3-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Kiviranta has found the back of the net in each of the Avalanche's last three games, but perhaps what's even more impressive is the fact that he's found the twine with each of his last three shots on goal. The 28-year-old winger has 14 goals and 20 total points in 65 contests this season, but he's trending in the right direction of late after cracking the scoresheet in four of his last five outings.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Goal in each of last two games
Kiviranta scored a goal in a 7-4 victory over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Kiviranta drove the net at top speed late in the second, and Ross Colton's centering pass went off his skate and between Anthony Stolarz's pads. He has a goal in each of his last two games, but he had just one in the 26 outings before that. It's a nice run for Kiviranta, but that doesn't mean he's fantasy worthy.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Sets tone with early shortie
Kiviranta scored a shorthanded goal and added two PIM in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.
Kiviranta ended a nine-game goal drought with the tally at 4:19 of the first period. In that stretch, he added just one assist. The 28-year-old winger continues to fill a bottom-six role as a physical presence and penalty killer. Kiviranta is up to 12 goals, 18 points, 65 shots on net, 90 hits and a plus-9 rating through 63 appearances this season.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Avoids scoreless month
Kiviranta logged an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
Kiviranta had been held off the scoresheet for the first seven games of February before helping out on a Ross Colton tally in the second period. The 28-year-old Kiviranta is now at 17 points, 64 shots on net, 87 hits and a plus-8 rating through 61 appearances. He's already produced a career year and just needs to play in 10 more games to set a career high in that area as well. That said, he's also shooting 17.2 percent, so some regression was to be expected following his relatively strong first half of the campaign. Kiviranta is more of a physical depth forward and rarely needs to be considered in fantasy.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Finds twine in win
Kiviranta scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 5-0 win over the Blues.
Kiviranta snapped a 16-game goal drought, which began Dec. 27 after he had a hat trick versus the Kraken on Dec. 22. The 28-year-old winger is not one to score consistently, so it's no surprise there was a long gap between goals. He's at 11 goals, 16 points, 60 shots on net, 79 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-5 rating across 53 appearances in what's already a career year for the Finn.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Manages assist in loss
Kiviranta notched an assist, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.
Kiviranta has three helpers over 10 games since the holiday break. The 28-year-old had five goals across three contests leading into the break, and that uptick in production has earned him a larger role in the Avalanche's middle six as the team deals with some injuries at forward. Kiviranta is at 15 points, 54 shots on net, 73 hits and a plus-5 rating through 46 games this season. As long as he's on the second line, he's worth consideration in fantasy formats that reward his physical play.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Adds helper Thursday
Kiviranta notched an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Wild.
Kiviranta picked up his first point over five outings in January when he set up Parker Kelly's third-period tally. Expectations are higher for Kiviranta after his six-goal, eight-point December (13 contests). The 28-year-old has a total of 14 points, 54 shots on net, 67 hits and a plus-8 rating over 43 games this season, playing on the third pairing without a spot on the power play.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Helps out on empty-netter
Kiviranta logged an assist and four hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets.
Kiviranta earned his first assist since Dec. 8 versus the Devils. While he hasn't been playmaking lately, he has five goals over the last five games. The 28-year-old winger is up to 10 goals, three assists, 49 shots on net, 60 hits and a plus-8 rating through 38 appearances. He has primarily served in a third-line role this season, and while he's already earned a career year, his offense is likely to be limited.

Kiviranta recorded a natural hat trick and fired five shots on net in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
Kiviranta had the last three goals of the game, two of which were empty-netters. The winger has scored five times over the last three contests, giving him career highs with 10 goals and 12 points in just 36 outings this season. He's added 46 shots on net, 54 hits and a plus-7 rating. Kiviranta typically doesn't have a lot of scoring upside, but he's worth a look in deep formats as long as he's wielding a hot stick.

Kiviranta scored twice on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Kiviranta had produced just three points over his prior 22 appearances. The physical winger is at seven goals -- one shy of his career high -- while adding two assists, 40 shots on net, 54 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-4 rating in a bottom-six role over 34 outings this season.

Kiviranta recorded an assist in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Devils.
Kiviranta has a goal and an assist over four games in December after posting only one point in November.

Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Chips in with assist
Kiviranta notched an assist, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Kiviranta snapped a seven-game drought when he assisted on a Mikko Rantanen tally in the second period. The 28-year-old Kiviranta continues to fill a second-line role, though his time in that spot could be nearing a close. The Avalanche's cavalry is coming, with Jonathan Drouin (upper body), Miles Wood (upper body) and Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) all possible to return by the end of this week. Kiviranta has five points, 21 shots on net, 28 hits and eight PIM across 16 appearances, and he should be able to hold onto a bottom-six role once the team is healthier at forward.
