Juuso Valimaki got first dibs on filling Lamoureux's spot Friday, but the 23-year-old Kolyachonok needs to get in some action. He'd have to go through waivers to be assigned to AHL Tucson. Utah hasn't put much trust in the Belarusian defenseman so far, giving him an average of 13:05 per game over 13 contests, during which he's picked up four points and a minus-6 rating. |
