DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Avalanche have swapped goaltenders with San Jose, sending a struggling Alexandar Georgiev to the Sharks for Mackenzie Blackwood.
As part of the deal, the Avalanche also acquired forward Givani Smith along with San Jose's fifth-round pick in 2027. The Sharks received forward Nikolai Kovalenko and two draft picks — a fifth-round selection in 2025 and a second-round pick in 2026.
Colorado will retain 14% of Georgiev's contract, which amounts to approximately $476,000. He was in the last season of a $10.2 million, three-year deal.
