Colorado Avalanche Acquire Goaltender Scott Wedgewood from Nashville Predators in Goalie Swap

In a significant move to bolster their goaltending depth, the Colorado Avalanche have acquired Scott Wedgewood from the Nashville Predators. The trade, announced on November 30, 2024, involves Wedgewood heading to Colorado in exchange for goaltender Justus Annunen and a 2025 sixth-round draft pick.

Wedgewood, 32, had recently signed a two-year contract with the Nashville Predators on July 1, 2024. During the 2024-25 season, he appeared in five games and made four starts for the Predators, posting a record of 1-2-1.

The addition of Wedgewood is expected to provide the Avalanche with experienced goaltending support, while the Predators gain a younger netminder in Justus Annunen along with a future draft pick.
