The Colorado Avalanche chose last in this years draft due to finishing on top as the 2022 Stanley Cup Champions. With that very last pick of the draft they have selected a 19-year-old goaltender out of Belarus. The Avalanche took just one defenseman and one goaltender in this years draft.
Zihgalov is 6’3” and 160 pounds at just 19-years-old and will likely put on some pounds heading forward. You never really know with drafting tenders but maybe the Avalanche have another MacKenzie Weegar on their hands with this selection.
Reminder to hug your goalie!
