CASTLE PINES — New Avalanche forward Joonas Donskoi continues to settle into the Denver area. On Monday, he golfed for the first time in Colorado.
When asked if he was hitting the ball straight at The Ridge during the Avs’ annual charity golf tournament, Donskoi replied, “Uh, no.”
Donskoi, 27, is calling Colorado home after living in San Jose the last four years as a member of the Sharks. He joined the NHL squad in 2015 after playing his first six professional seasons for SM-liiga in his native Finland.
