The Colorado Avalanche acquired defenseman Bob Boughner from the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday for a third-round draft pick and the rights to prospect Chris Bahen.

"Bob Boughner is a solid defensive defenseman who adds depth and experience," Avalanche president and general manager Pierre Lacroix said.

In 43 games with Carolina this season, Boughner has five assists and 80 penalty minutes.

The 32-year-old Boughner, selected by Detroit in the 1989 draft, has 14 goals, 51 assists and 1,320 penalty minutes in more than 600 NHL games with Buffalo, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Calgary and Carolina.

Bahen has four assists and 38 penalty minutes with Landshut EV in Germany this season.
