Valeri Nichushkin did not practice with the Avalanche on Wednesday as he was away from the team for the birth of his child.

Tufte was the 25th overall pick of the Dallas Stars in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft but was never able to become a permanent fixture in their roster, playing only 13 total games and scoring one goal. He will look to have a more regular role this season on Colorado's fourth line.

Tufte failed to pick up a point across three games with Dallas in 2022-23 but had a SOG and was a -1 plus/minus and has signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 with Colorado. The 25-year-old left-winger was a former first-round pick (25th overall) in 2016 and has one career goal in 13 games played across two NHL seasons.

Tufte played in three straight games with the Stars but was sent back to the AHL to make room to call-up Adam Scheel from the AHL. Scheel is needed to serve as Jake Oettinger's backup with Braden Holtby dealing with an injury. Jacob Peterson will replace Tufte in the Stars' bottom-6.
