Avalanche's Ilya Solovyov: Cleared to practice

Solovyov has resolved his visa issues and has been cleared to practice Friday, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

Solovyov was claimed off waivers from Calgary a week ago and has finally arrived in Colorado. The 25-year-old had one assist in five regular-season games with the Flames in 2024-25. He is expected to be a depth defenseman at this time as the Avalanche are set with their top-six blueliners.
