The Colorado Avalanche signed restricted free agents Matthew Stienburg and Jason Polin on Friday to one-year contracts for the 2025-26 season, the team announced.
Stienburg was a third-round pick in the 2019 NHL draft. He made his NHL debut and played eight games for the Avs this past season before getting sent back to the Colorado Eagles after being assessed a two-game suspension on Oct. 31. Stienburg, 24, was injured shortly after being demoted and missed the rest of the AHL regular season, but returned for three Calder Cup Playoff games.
Polin was an undrafted free agent out of Western Michigan in 2023.
