Avalanche claim former goaltender off waivers from Arizona

Johansson, 27, was placed on waivers on September 30th by the Avalanche after signing a one-year deal with them during the summer. He was then claimed by the Arizona Coyotes the next day.

Because there were no other claims placed on Johansson today, he is eligible to be assigned to the Avalanche's AHL affiliate, the Colorado Eagles.

The Galve (Sweden) native split time last season between Colorado and the Florida Panthers. In nine games with the Avs, he had a record of 3-2-1 with a 3.73 GAA and an .885 save percentage, while in two appearances with the Panthers, he went 0-2-0 with a 7.74 GAA and a .766 save percentage.
