report: “Trent Miner closes a blockbuster trade to sign Kentucky safety.”
The Avalanche selected Miner with pick number two (seventh overall) in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. On May 27, 2021, the 23-year-old goalie inked a three-year NHL entry-level contract with Colorado.
The native of Brandon, Manitoba participated in 29 games in the American Hockey League and ECHL in 2023–24. Miner was 9-6-1 with a.930 save percentage, 2.10 goals against average, and one shutout in 18 games for the Colorado Eagles (AHL). In terms of goalie statistics, he led the club. Colorado finished the regular season with a record of 40-25-5-2. The Abbotsford Canucks defeated them in three games (2-1) in the AHL first round.
Miner has played in 30 AHL games overall, going 13-12-2 with a.920 save percentage and 2.32 goals against average.
Miner played in 11 games for the ECHL, going 6-5-0 with a 2.75 goals-against average and a.917 save percentage. He was a standout with the Vancouver Giants in the Western Hockey League before turning pro, playing 24-5-1 in his best season (2018–19) with a.924 save percentage and a 1.98 goals-against average.
Miner has been in and out of the AHL and ECHL since he signed his first professional contract. But he’s improved with every season. The six-foot-one, 185-pound goalie surpassed that figure last year alone, despite appearing in just 12 AHL games over the course of three seasons.
In a Game 6 loss to the Dallas Stars in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Friday, the Avalanche’s season came to an end. Colorado defeated the Winnipeg Jets in five games in the opening round by winning four consecutive.
when is the case every summer, the Avs will have a lot of decisions to make and holes in their lineup to fill. But how will their chart look and where are the holes when the offseason gets underway?
Dallas (AP) – The top-seeded Dallas Stars advanced to the Western Conference Final by defeating the previous two Stanley Cup winners, including two players with 100 points or more.
Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are two of the four Oilers who are leading scorers in these playoffs. The two were the only other duo of 100-point scorers in the NHL during the regular season. After starting the regular season 5-12-1, they went 45-14-5 the rest of the way to have the best record in the league since late November.
Pete DeBoer, the coach of the Stars, stated, “I think people probably would have predicted Edmonton would be in the conference final.” “Since November, they´ve been an elite team in just about every category.”
Dallas, which hosts Game 1 on Thursday night, has also been playing well. The Stars and Oilers have not faced each other in the playoffs since April 2003, the month before the birth of Wyatt Johnston, the team’s leading goal scorer, during their sixth postseason encounter in seven years.
The Stars received a few more days off following a double-overtime Game 6 victory over 2022 champion Colorado, which featured league MVP finalists Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantnen, following their seven-game first round victory over reigning champion Vegas.
The Stars have advanced to the third round for the past two seasons. After losing to the eventual Cup champion in its previous trip, Edmonton defeated Vancouver in a seven-game second-round series to go to the West final for the second time in three years.
