The Colorado Avalanche acquired Brock Nelson in a trade deadline deal with the New York Islanders last season, and now they've worked out an arrangement to keep him with the team for a few seasons longer.
Nelson and the Avs agreed to a three-year contract extension Wednesday, which will tie the veteran forward to the organization through the 2027-28 season. Nelson was set to hit unrestricted free agency this offseason, but instead he'll stick with Colorado where he played the final 19 games of the regular season, as well as seven playoff games.
