Colorado Avalanche coach Jared Bednar has nothing but high praise for this depth blueliner who's stepped into a tough spot this season.
Colorado Avalanche Jared Bednar made his feelings known regarding depth defenseman Ilya Solovyov.
As you may recall, Solovyov was a waiver claim by the Avalanche earlier this season. The 25-year-old Russian D-man found himself on the outs in Calgary. The Flames cut him from their camp in hopes of sending Solovyov back to the AHL.
