As reported by Finnish <a href=\"https:\/\/yle.fi\/a\/74-20205513\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YLE<\/a>, Valtteri Puustinen, 26, is the third Finnish attacker to join Colorado Avalanche. Puustinen joins attackers Artturi Lehkonen and Joel Kiviranta.<\/p>\n<p>Last season Puustinen was a Pittsburgh Penguins player for 13 matches, and he scored 2+1 points  during that time. And when Puustinen moved to Colorado Avalanche, Pittsburgh Penguins brought on Russian defender Ilja Solovjov, 25. During this season Solovjov has played 16 NHL matches for Colorado Avalanche, and delivered 1+2 points.<\/p>\n<p>Now all we can do is hope, that the three Finnish attackers make it happen for Colorado Avalanche.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/status\/2013684231202115781?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Players move around quite a lot in the National Hockey League, or NHL, and so it has been&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":427720,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-427719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=427719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427719\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/427720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=427719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=427719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=427719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
