Mironov's call-up to the NHL serves as Colorado's 11th recall from San Antonio this season. The 6-foot-3, 194-pound defenseman registered six points (1g/5a) in 14 games with the Rampage and recorded three points (1g/2a) in nine games with the Avalanche earlier this season.

The 2015 fourth-round draft pick made his NHL debut on Oct. 5 against the New York Rangers.

Compher, Tyson Jost, Vladislav Kamenev, Mikko Rantanen, Anton Lindholm, and Nikita Zadorov in Colorado.

Vannelli, 22, joins the Rampage after opening the 2017-18 campaign with the Oilers, registering 14 points (4g/10a) in 30 contests. The 6-foot-2, 165-pound defenseman combined for 19 points (1g/18a) in 46 games between the Missouri Mavericks (ECHL) and Atlanta Gladiators (ECHL) during the 2016-17 season. Originally drafted in the second round of the 2013 NHL Draft (47th overall), Vannelli began his professional career with the Chicago Wolves during the 2015-16 season, collecting one assist in seven appearances.
