Matt Calvert calls it a career after 11 seasons with Avs, Blue Jackets
The Colorado Avalanche just lost forward Joonas Donskoi to the Seattle Kraken during Wednesday's expansion draft and now it appears as though another Avs forward is on his way out as well.
Per the Avs' official Twitter account, the announcement was made that 31-year-old Matt Calvert has decided to hang up the skates and call it a career after 566 career regular season NHL games.
Calvert had been with the Avalanche since signing in Colorado during the offseason in 2018-19 as an unrestricted free agent.
Prior to his time in Colorado, Calvert spent 8 seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets - the team who drafted him in the 5th round, 127th overall back in 2008.
All the best to Matt and his family in the next chapter of their lives.
