The Colorado Avalanche acquired forward Shawn Matthias from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday in exchange for forward Colin Smith and a 2016 fourth-round draft pick.
The 6-foot-4, 231-pound Matthias won't be with Colorado when the team plays Sunday night in Vancouver.
The 28-year-old Matthias has six goals and 11 assists in 51 games for the Maple Leafs this season. He had joined Toronto as a free agent before the season, signing a one-year, $2.3 million contract following a season with the Canucks in which he scored a career-best 18 goals.
