Avalanche Recall T.J. Tynan

The Avalanche have added some depth up front for this afternoon’s game against Columbus.  The team announced (Twitter link) that forward T.J. Tynan has been recalled from AHL Colorado.

It’s the first recall of the season for the 33-year-old.  Tynan has spent the full 2025-26 campaign with the Eagles and his output can be viewed a couple of ways.  Through 30 games, Tynan has scored just once which is hardly ideal for one of a team’s top veterans.  On the other hand, he sits third in the AHL in assists with 25, keeping him within striking distance of the point-per-game mark.  He has just missed that threshold the last two years but reached or surpassed it in the previous five.

Despite the consistent production in the minors, it hasn’t yielded too many NHL opportunities for Tynan.  He has played in just 30 NHL games over his career, nine of which came last season when the Avs churned through the majority of their farm team in an effort to find some pieces to stick on the fourth line.  Although he has been a point producer in the AHL, that hasn’t been the case at the top level as he has been limited to just two assists in those 30 outings while averaging 8:21 per game of ice time.

With Tynan’s recall, Colorado’s roster is now at the maximum of 23 players.
