His tally came 1:47 into the game to give the Sharks a quick 1-0 lead.

Sturm had four shots on net, three hits and won 11 of 15 faceoff draws in Friday's 6-3 win over the Flyers. - Sturm still seeks his first point in an Avalanche uniform, but he's brought some much needed acumen at the faceoff dot.

Sturm had two shots on goal and one hit over 15:07 of ice time in Friday's 5-3 win over the Sharks. - Sturm made his Avalanche debut after being acquired from the Wild earlier in the week.

Sturm was acquired by the Avalanche on Tuesday from the Wild in a swap for Tyson Jost. - By bringing in Sturm, the Avs have given themselves some additional cap space before Monday's trade deadline should they want to be aggressive in trying to replace the injured Gabriel Landeskog (knee).

Sturm scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks. - Sturm tallied at 12:02 of the third period, chasing Marc-Andre Fleury from the contest. The 26-year-old Sturm had missed the last two games in the COVID-19 protocols.

Sturm posted an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 7-3 win over the Ducks. - Sturm earned the secondary helper on Kevin Fiala's first-period tally.

Sturm posted an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Islanders. - Sturm helped out on a Ryan Hartman goal in the third period.

Head coach Dean Evason has relied on a balance among his top three lines, though Sturm has just four points in 11 contests. The German has added 22 shots on net, a plus-2 rating and six hits, so he hasn't really done enough to get on the fantasy radar. |
