Former San Jose Sharks goalie Kaapo Kahkonen has been acquired by the Colorado Avalanche after being waived by the Winnipeg Jets, where he did not play.
Avalanche's starting goalie, Alexandar Georgiev, had a disappointing debut against the Vegas Golden Knights, leading to the team's decision to bring in Kahkonen for added experience.
With Justus Annunen as the backup, the Avalanche are looking to Kahkonen to bolster their goaltending situation following Georgiev's struggles.
It remains to be seen how Kahkonen will fit into the Avalanche's lineup and what role he will ultimately play with the team.
