Colton scored a goal on two shots and blocked four shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Avalanche.
Colton's recent run of offense was sparked with a helper against his former team in a 6-2 win Oct. 25. He's earned three goals and two assists over his last six games, and that includes his opening tally in his return to Denver on Thursday. The 30-year-old is up to seven points, 23 shots on net, 38 hits, 14 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 16 outings while primarily filling a bottom-six role.

Colton scored an empty-net goal, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Colton has picked up four points over his last five games after his first multi-point effort of the campaign. The 30-year-old forward is up to three goals, three assists, 21 shots on net, 38 hits and a minus-1 rating across 15 appearances. Colton is a fixture in the Predators' bottom six and should be able to continue providing some secondary scoring throughout the season.

Colton scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.
Colton snapped a seven-game goal drought with the tally. He had one assist in that span. While there's a few extra minutes for forwards up for grabs when the Predators dress seven blueliners, Colton remains functionally in a fourth-line spot. He has four points, 18 shots, 36 hits, 10 blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-3 rating across 13 outings this season.

Colton scored a goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Senators.
Colton has filled a third-line role with the Predators to begin the season after he was dealt from the Avalanche in June. The 30-year-old forward has earned two points, six shots on net, 15 hits, five blocked shots, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating over five appearances. Colton has displayed decent depth offense in his career, but his primary fantasy value will come from hits, making him a roster target in banger leagues.

Colton and Isak Posch were traded to Nashville from Colorado in exchange for Magnus Chrona, a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 third-round pick.
Colton will suit up for his former Central Division rival in the 2026-27 campaign following his move to the Predators. Earlier in June, Nashville named Chris MacFarland the team's new President of Hockey Operations, who spent four years in Colorado before taking his new gig. Across 73 regular-season games in 2025-26, Colton compiled nine goals, 15 assists, 153 shots on net, 159 hits and 25 blocked shots. He'll likely slot into a middle-six role for the Predators, who were in need of forward depth after another season where they missed the playoffs. Colton's toughness could help fill the hits gap that Michael McCarron left behind after Nashville traded their former alternate captain away at the 2026 trade deadline.

Colton scored a goal in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.
Colton opened the scoring at 16:59 of the first period, but he was the only Avalanche skater to solve Carter Hart. With two goals and three assists over his last seven games, Colton has done well to keep his place in the lineup after starting the postseason as a healthy scratch. That stretch accounts for all of his offense in nine playoff outings, to go with 18 shots on net, 32 hits and an even plus-minus rating. He continues to fill a bottom-six role.
