Colorado claimed Ludvig off waivers from Pittsburgh on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ludvig played 33 regular-season games with the Penguins in 2023-24, picking up three goals and a pair of assists. However, he spent most of his first NHL campaign in the press box as a healthy scratch. Ludvig was likely acquired to be a depth defenseman for the Avalanche in 2024-25.
