The Colorado Avalanche acquired forward Brandon Duhaime from the Minnesota Wild on Thursday in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.

Duhaime won't have to wait long to see his former teammates as the clubs face off in Denver on Friday.

Duhaime, 26, has eight points (four goals, four assists) and 66 penalty minutes in 62 games this season. He is a pending unrestricted free agent coming off a one-year, $1.1 million deal.

He has totaled 35 points (19 goals, 16 assists) and 230 penalty minutes in 193 career games with Minnesota.
