What happened: The Colorado Avalanche signed defenseman Domenick Fensore to a one-year contract. The move adds another option to the organization’s blue-line depth for 2026-27.

Why it matters: Fensore gives Colorado a developing defenseman with recent NHL experience and strong AHL production. He can compete for a roster spot while providing organizational depth.

By the numbers: Fensore recorded 35 points on 10 goals and 25 assists in 60 AHL games during 2025-26. He also made one NHL appearance.

What to watch: Fensore’s role will become clearer during training camp and the preseason.
