This Avalanche goalie is rumored to be heading overseas this summer.
The Colorado Avalanche lost one of their goalies on Friday, as Pavel Francouz officially announced his retirement from professional hockey. This was expected, as GM Chris MacFarland said last month that Francouz's injuries would likely force him to retire.
Now, the Avalanche are expected to be losing another one of their goaltenders in the near future. According to Championat's Pavel Panyshev, Ivan Prosvetov will sign a three-year deal with CSKA Moscow of the KHL this summer. Prosvetov will be a Group 6 unrestricted free agent this offseason.
Ivan ProsvetovProsvetov, 25, was placed on waivers by the Avalanche in early February and has not made another appearance for the NHL squad since. His final regular-season game with the Avalanche came on Jan. 6 against the Florida Panthers, where he allowed four goals on 13 shots.
After being claimed off waivers by the Avalanche from the Arizona Coyotes at the start of this season, Prosvetov posted a 4-3-1 record, a 3.16 GAA, and a .895 SV% in 11 appearances.
