The Colorado Avalanche claimed defenseman Mike Reilly from the Carolina Hurricanes after he was placed on waivers yesterday. The timing was quite fortuitous for the Avalanche as that was the same day they learned Cale Makar would miss at least two weeks with an injury.
Adding Reilly to the back end gives the Avs some additional stability with a veteran defender who has 468 games played across a 12-year career that sees Reilly heading to his eighth franchise in the Avalanche.
Reilly had gotten into just eight games for the Canes this year, registering two assists in that time while averaging 12:26 of ice time after appearing in 42 games for Carolina last season, in which he registered nine points (1G, 8A).
As always, let’s dig into the fancy stuff to see under the hood of Reilly and what kind of player the Avs are getting here.
