Denver, Colo. - The Colorado Avalanche announced this morning that they have re-signed forward Parker Kelly to a four-year extension, through the 2029-30 season, at $1.7 million AAV. Kelly, 26, played in 80 games for the Avalanche in the 2025-26 season. He started off on the fourth line, but stepped in as the third-line center for a portion of the season due to injuries across the roster. In those 80 games, he collected 19 points (8g/11a). The Camrose, Alberta native dressed in all seven postseason games for Colorado, chipping in a single assist. The seven games played were the first NHL postseason games of his career.
