After a terrific start to the AHL season with the Colorado Eagles, recording eight points (6G / 2A) in six games, Tufte has been recalled by the Avalanche. Tufte has only played 13 games in his NHL career, all with the Dallas Stars, in which he has recorded one point (1G / 0A). He is expected to make his Avalanche debut on Wednesday playing on a line with Ryan Johansen and Valeri Nichushkin.

After a terrific start to the AHL season with the Colorado Eagles, recording eight points (6G / 2A) in six games, Tufte has been recalled by the Avalanche. Tufte has only played 13 games in his NHL career, all with the Dallas Stars, in which he has recorded one point (1G / 0A).

Tufte signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Avalanche in the offseason but has failed to appear in either of their opening season wins which has lead to him being reassigned to the Colorado Eagles (AHL) Monday. The 25-year-old returns to the AHL, where he had 19 goals, 15 assists, 90 PIMs, and a +23 plus/minus in 63 games with the Texas Stars (AHL) in 2022-23.

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. He should provide a solid depth piece for Colorado after posting 19 goals and 35 points in 63 games with Texas (AHL) in 2021-22 as well.

Tufte had 19 goals, 16 assists, 90 PIMs and a +23 plus/minus through 63 games with Texas (AHL) during the regular season and has been recalled by Dallas on Wednesday as they deal with some injuries. The 25-year-old played in three NHL games in 2022-23, failing to pick up a point and going a -1 plus/minus. He will likely be an extra forward while we wait for more news on Joe Pavelski (undisclosed).

Tufte earned his first promotion of 2022-23 to the Dallas Stars Monday after putting up seven goals and 16 points with 39 PIMs and a +10 plus/minus through 21 games this season with Texas (AHL). Tufte was a first-round pick (25th overall) in 2016 and has scored one goal and four PIMs across ten previous career NHL games prior to his call-up Monday.

Tufte was the No.25 overall pick in 2016 and made his NHL debut during the 2022 season, scoring one goal in 10 games. During his time in the AHL, he registered 10 goals and 10 assists (20 points) in 54 games. Tufte should be in the mixd for a bottom-6 role in Dallas to start the 2022-23 season.

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.

Both Tufte and Thomas Harley were recalled from the AHL and travelled to St. Louis but it's unclear if either will play on Friday. Tufte failed to record a point in his first two career NHL games earlier in the season.

Tufte was a first-round pick (No.25 overall) in 2016 and is expected to make his NHL debut vs. the Flyers on Saturday. The 6-foot-6, 220 lbs. winger has scored five goals with two assists (seven points) in 10 AHL games this season.
