Avalanche acquire Mikkel Boedker from Coyotes

The Colorado Avalanche acquired forward Mikkel Boedker from the Arizona Coyotes on Monday in exchange for forwards Alex Tanguay and Conner Bleackley and defenceman Kyle Wood.

In a separate deal the Avalanche acquired defenceman Eric Gelinas from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2017 draft.

Tanguay was a member of Colorado's 2001 Stanley Cup championship team and was in his second stint with the Avalanche.

Tanguay is a veteran of 1,070 career NHL games and has 850 points (279 goals, 571 assists). The 36-year-old has just 22 points (four goals, 18 assists) in 52 games this season in the third campaign since his return to the franchise.
