The Colorado Avalanche have faced a spate of injuries recently. In the game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Colorado lost star winger Mikko Rantanen for “weeks” with an apparent shoulder injury.
So, with Rantanen out, along with other forwards Matt Calvert and Nazem Kadri, the Avalanche recalled a player from the Colorado Eagles. They recalled their first rounder (16th overall) from 2018, Martin Kaut.
In fact, Kaut is set to make his NHL debut tomorrow night against the New York Islanders. He may even start on the third line with Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and Matt Nieto.
