2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kelly was able to make a little more progress in his first year with the Avalanche in 2024-25, earning 19 points, 99 shots on net, 161 hits and 72 blocked shots over 80 regular-season games. He had spent the previous four years with the Senators, and while a move to Colorado's bottom six could have been troublesome, Kelly was able to make himself a steady presence in the lineup. At 26 years old, he could still find a little more offense, though that will be dependent on ice time -- he averaged a career-high 12:45 per game in 2024-25, but the Avalanche's frequent injuries created opportunities for him. He won't be a factor on the power play, but he's a reliable defensive forward with a physical edge. Read Past Outlooks

Opens scoring Monday
CColorado Avalanche
January 20, 2026
Kelly scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Monday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
ANALYSIS
Kelly has two goals and two assists over his last six games. Injuries have started to pile up among the Avalanche's forwards, affording Kelly a chance to see more ice time. He's averaging 14:15 per game in January, two minutes higher than his season average. Overall, the 26-year-old has a career-high nine goals with eight assists, 62 shots on net, 98 hits, 32 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 47 appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Kelly agreed to terms on a two-year, $1.65 million contract with Colorado after Ottawa declined to give him a qualifying offer. He produced eight goals, 18 points, 86 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and 171 hits in 80 games last season. After logging a career-high 11:42 of average ice time, Kelly's minutes will likely decrease with the Avalanche in 2024-25. The team isn't known for playing bottom-six forwards much, but he should see plenty of penalty-kill action while adding some physicality to the lineup.
Kelly was in the lineup on a nightly basis for the Senators before suffering an injury in February. He returned for one game in mid-March before being shut down the rest of the way. Kelly didn't accomplish much from a statistical standpoint even when healthy, finishing with a goal and four points along with 172 hits in 55 games. Kelly, now 24 years of age, should once again occupy a fourth-line role for the Senators this \year, but there's zero fantasy value here.

COttawa Senators
June 29, 2024
Kelly may not receive a qualifying offer from the Senators by Sunday's deadline, Steve Warne of The Hockey News reports.
ANALYSIS
If that's the case, Kelly would be an unrestricted free agent when the market opens Monday. He enjoyed a mini-breakout in 2023-24 with 18 points, 171 hits, 30 PIM and 86 shots on net over 80 contests. Wherever Kelly plays in 2024-25, he'll likely fill a bottom-six role.
