Kovalenko is expected to link up with the Avalanche either on their current road trip or when the team returns home, per Brennan Vogt of The-Rink.com.
ANALYSIS
Kovalenko was solid during his time in the KHL this year, recording 11 goals and 24 assists in 42 games played. The 24-year-old will look to possibly make his NHL debut this weekend or later next week. He could slot into a bottom-six role due to Zach Parise's absence -- Parise is currently dealing with a lower-body injury.
