What’s going on with Nikita Zadorov and the Avalanche this season?

New York Times  

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Morning skate at SAP Center has ended, and players are heading back to the team hotel in hopes of getting lunch, finding time for a pregame nap or both. This same routine happened Friday in Vancouver after fourth-year Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said Kevin Connauton, who was called up from the AHL Colorado Eagles, would replace Zadorov in the lineup. Natural Stat Trick shows Zadorov was on the ice for 17 high-danger goals and 165 high-danger scoring chances in five-on-five play over 70 games during the 2018-19 season. Graves was around for 26 games last season while also playing for the Eagles but was on the ice for five high-danger goals and 57 high-danger scoring chances. His first full NHL season has seen the Avalanche give up 18 high-danger goals and 165 high-danger scoring chances.
