The Avalanche traded forward prospect Shane Bowers to the Boston Bruins in exchange for goalie Keith Kincaid, the team announced Saturday.

The trade comes while Avalanche backup goalie Pavel Francouz is out with a lower-body injury. On Feb. 17, coach Jared Bednar estimated Francouz would miss three weeks. It is the netminder’s second multi-week injury of this season. The Avs have alternated backup goalies recently without Francouz in the lineup. After Jonas Johansson accompanied the team Friday in Winnipeg, he was reassigned to the AHL Colorado Eagles on Saturday, while prospect Justus Annunen was called back up to the NHL roster for the next game vs. Calgary. Annunen has started two NHL games, including a 4-1 win at St. Louis this February.
Kincaid will report to the Eagles. The first time Francouz was hurt this season, the Avalanche didn’t use Annunen or Johansson; starter Alexandar Georgiev played 12 consecutive games, offering a glimpse into the organization’s faith in its goalie depth. Whether or not Francouz’s current injury turns out to be more severe, Kincaid is an experienced depth addition to provide a sense of security before the playoffs.
Bowers, selected No. 28 overall by Ottawa in 2017, came to Colorado as part of the Matt Duchene trade. He was the last first-round pick from the 2017 draft class to appear in an NHL game.
