Colorado Avalanche Acquire Goalie Kaapo Kahkonen from Winnipeg Jets

The Avalanche bolster their goaltending lineup by claiming Kahkonen off waivers after a tough season opener.

Kaapo Kahkonen, 28, was claimed by the Colorado Avalanche after being waived by the Winnipeg Jets.
Kahkonen previously played for the San Jose Sharks and New Jersey Devils, posting a 7-24-3 record last season.
The Jets signed Kahkonen to a one-year, $1 million contract before waiving him to send him to their AHL affiliate.
The Avalanche decided to claim Kahkonen following their season-opening 8-4 loss, where their goalies struggled.
Kahkonen has a career record of 49-67-15 and was originally drafted by the Minnesota Wild in 2014.
