With the injury to Vladislav Kamenev, the Avalanche have recalled Dominic Toninato to fill the void.
Drafted in the 5th round in 2012 by the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toninato never signed with the Leafs and instead decided to take his talents to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado over the off-season.
Toninato is more known for his defensive capabilities as a center rather than a scoring threat. He was awarded NCAA best defensive forward in his senior year at Minnesota-Duluth last year. However, in his 4 years at the collegiate level, he accumulated 91 points in 151 games.
