Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Erik Johnson is heading back to the Colorado Avalanche, where he spent 13 of his 17 NHL seasons, and where he won a Stanley Cup in 2022.

The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today that the organization has acquired defenseman Erik Johnson from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for forward Givani Smith.

The Colorado Avalanche has traded for 10 players since late November, but only one had his own bed waiting for him.
