Former Boston Bruins Player Involved In Massive Transaction

The return of forward Chris Wagner to the Colorado Avalanche marks a significant milestone in his recovery journey from an Achilles tear earlier this season.

Limited to just 11 AHL appearances due to the injury, Wagner showcased promise with seven points. His call-up to the NHL roster comes as a relief for the team amidst concerns over Logan O'Connor's availability for Sunday's game against the Arizona Coyotes.


O'Connor is grappling with a lower-body injury, prompting caution from head coach Jared Bednar to avoid exacerbating his condition.


Wagner, known for his role as a dependable bottom-six center, brings experience from his 360 NHL games, notably his career-best season with the Boston Bruins in 2018-19.
