Nielsen scored two goals in AHL Colorado's 5-3 win over Tucson on Sunday.
Nielsen had a career year with 49 points over 66 regular-season outings for the Eagles last year. The 26-year-old forward probably won't see much action with the Avalanche, but he should be a reliable minor-league scorer.

Nielsen was placed on waivers by the Avalanche on Sunday.
Nielsen had a chance to factor in for the Avs to begin the upcoming campaign, but the team elected to move forward with Georgi Merkulov and Parker Kelly to battle for an everyday depth center role. The 26-year-old Nielsen posted an assist, three shots on net and nine hits across four regular-season NHL games in 2025-26. He's likely to retain a large role with AHL Colorado after posting 49 points across 66 regular-season AHL outings last season.
