Colorado Avalanche forward Joel Kiviranta will be sidelined indefinitely with a lower-body injury, the team announced on Saturday.
Kiviranta signed a one-year, $1.25 million contract Aug. 8 on the heels on a career season. He recorded personal-best totals in goals (16), assists (seven), points (23) and rating (plus-15) in 79 games in 2024-25.
Kiviranta, 29, has been held off the scoresheet in each of his first five games this season. He logged 10:29 of ice time in Colorado’s 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday.
Kiviranta has totaled 60 points (35 goals, 25 assists) in 303 career games with the Dallas Stars (2019-23) and Avalanche.
