Avalanche's Sam Malinski: Agrees to one-year contract

Malinski signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract with Colorado on Monday, per PuckPedia.

Malinski generated five goals, 15 points, 115 shots on net, 107 blocked shots and 57 hits across 76 games during the 2024-25 regular season. He could enter the 2025-26 campaign on Colorado's third pairing but proved capable of handling top-four minutes last campaign when injuries piled up.
