Sabres trade Jonas Johansson to Avalanche

The Buffalo Sabres traded netminder Jonas Johansson to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for a 2021 sixth-round pick, the team announced Saturday.

Johansson, 25, has yet to record a win this season and owns an .884 save percentage and a 3.79 goals-against average over seven appearances.

The Avalanche's goaltending depth chart has been depleted this campaign, with backup Pavel Francouz on the long-term injured reserve. Hunter Miska, who was demoted to the AHL on Friday, has posted an .838 save percentage over five starts.

Philipp Grubauer has earned 17 of Colorado's 18 wins this season, and he leads all netminders in minutes played (1420:06) entering Saturday's action.

The Sabres, meanwhile, have lost 13 straight contests and sit last in the league.
