| Date | News | Advice |
|---|---|---|
| Dec. 6, 2025 | Nielsen was loaned to AHL Colorado on Saturday. - Nielsen was a healthy scratch in two straight games at the NHL level, including Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers. He has 10 goals and 15 points in 18 minor-league appearances this season. | None |
| Dec. 5, 2025 | Nielsen was recalled from AHL Colorado on Friday. - Nielsen will be available for this weekend's back-to-back on the road versus the Rangers and the Flyers. The 25-year-old has one assist, three shots on goal and nine hits over four NHL appearances so far this year. | None |
| Nov. 23, 2025 | Nielsen was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Sunday. - Nielsen recorded his first career NHL point in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Blackhawks. The 25-year-old had the lone helper on Cale Makar's ninth goal of the season at the 18:21 mark of the second period. Considering the Avalanche currently have four injured forwards on the roster, Nielsen will probably be summoned from the minors again ahead of Wednesday's home game versus the Sharks. | None |
| Nov. 20, 2025 | Nielsen was recalled from AHL Colorado on Thursday. - Nielsen made his NHL debut in early November, and he'll rejoin the Avalanche after spending the past few weeks in the minors. Across 16 appearances with the Eagles this year, he's recorded nine goals, five assists, 12 PIM and a plus-6 rating. | None |
| Nov. 8, 2025 | Nielsen scored two goals in AHL Colorado's 3-2 shootout win over Abbotsford on Saturday. - This was Nielsen's first multi-goal game of the season, and it came against his former team. He's earned eight goals and 12 points through 14 appearances, a performance that earned him his NHL debut Nov. 4 as the Avalanche faced the Lightning. If he continues to play well with the Eagles, he could be a candidate for another call-up. | None |
| Nov. 4, 2025 | Nielsen was reassigned to AHL Colorado following Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Lightning. - Nielsen made his NHL debut Tuesday, logging four hits in 5:25 of ice time. Gavin Brindley is dealing with a concussion, but the Avalanche are off until Saturday's game in Edmonton. That could give Brindley enough time to heal, and if not, Nielsen will be able to get into the requisite one game with the minor-league team before a potential recall would be necessary. | None |
| Nov. 3, 2025 | Nielsen was recalled from AHL Colorado on Monday. - Nielsen has yet to make his NHL debut, but the 25-year-old could draw into the lineup Tuesday versus the Lightning if Gavin Brindley (concussion) is unavailable. Nielsen has been a steady contributor with the Eagles in 2025-26 -- he's accounted for five goals, nine points and a plus-4 rating over 11 outings. The British Columbia native had just 28 points across 67 regular-season games with AHL Abbotsford last year, so his offense is trending in the right direction. | None |
| Oct. 27, 2025 | Nielsen signed a two-year contract with Colorado on Monday. - Nielsen has three goals and four assists in seven outings with AHL Colorado this season. His new deal with the Avalanche runs through the 2026-27 campaign. Nielsen attended NHL training camp with Colorado after signing an AHL contract with the Eagles in the summer. | None |
| Oct. 4, 2025 | Nielsen was recalled from AHL Colorado on Saturday, according to Brennan Vogt of Hockey Mountain High. - Nielsen played in the Vancouver system last season, posting 15 goals and 28 points in 67 regular-season contests for AHL Abbotsford. He will likely be sent back to AHL Colorado soon, as the Avalanche recalled him to fill out their roster for the preseason finale against Dallas. | None |
| June 30, 2025 | Nielsen will become an unrestricted free agent Tuesday after Vancouver decided not to give him a qualifying offer. - Nielsen has yet to make his NHL debut after joining the club out of juniors back in 2021-22. The 25-year-old center put up decent numbers with AHL Abbotsford this past year -- 15 goals and 13 assists in 67 regular-season contests -- so he could certainly find a two-way deal somewhere in the NHL ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. | None |
