The Colorado Avalanche traded defenseman Ilya Solovyov to the Pittsburgh Penguins for forward Valtteri Puustinen and a 2026 seventh-round pick. Solovyov, who struggled for playing time in Colorado, had one goal and three points in seven games since January. Puustinen, a consistent AHL scorer, had a promising NHL stint with five goals and 20 points in 52 games for the Penguins. This trade is not expected to significantly impact either team’s current roster dynamics.
