Colorado has added to their minor league defensive depth on Sunday after they announced they had signed Christian Wolanin to a one-year, two-way contract. The 31-year-old journeyman defender joins his 7th NHL organization after spending 2025-26 with Providence (AHL), where he had seven goals and 31 points in 53 games played. He last appeared in the NHL with Vancouver in 2022-23.
Wolanin had three assists, 16 SOG, four PIMs and a +5 plus/minus through 16 games with Vancouver but will head back to Abbotsford (AHL) as the Canucks' season comes to a close. The 28-year-old returns to the minors, where he was on fire previously, with six goals, 55 points, and a +12 plus/minus in 49 games played.
Wolanin has three assists, 16 SOG, four PIMs and a +4 plus/minus through 15 games this season and has signed a two-year, two-way contract extension Thursday. The 28-year-old has 85 career NHL games played, picking up six goals and 17 assists, with a -3 plus/minus.
Wolanin appeared in 30 NHL games with the Senators back in 2019 but has only played in a combined 30 games in the three years since, posting one goal and four assists with the Senators, Kings and Sabres. He spent most of last season in the AHL, where he had 18 points (1G / 17A) in 37 games with Ontario.
Wolanin will take Andreas Athanasiou's spot on the roster after Athanasiou was moved to IR with an undisclosed injury. Wolanin has 11 assists in 24 AHL games this season.
Wolanin had played in seven straight games but will not be in the lineup on Thursday. Olli Maatta, who was activated from the COVID-19 protocol list on Monday, will replace Wolanin.
Wolanin has three assists in three games with Ontario this season. He went to Buffalo via waivers briefly but returned to the Kings in the same fashion. He was recalled to serve as the No.7 defenseman because Alex Edler was moved to IR on Sunday.
Wolanin was originally claimed off of waivers from the Kings but returns to Los Angeles and can now be sent to the AHL without having to clear again. The 26-year-old was held pointless in his only game with the Sabres.
Wolanin was a fourth-round pick of the Senators in 2015 and has scored five goals with 13 assists (18 points) in 58 career games since. Wolanin should be able to fight for playing time in Los Angeles, likely taking over Kurtis MacDermid's role as the seventh defenseman.
Wolanin played in six straight games but was seeing very limited ice time, especially in the three most recent games, where he played under 10 minutes in each game. Wolanin, who has three assists in 15 games this season, will be replaced by Braydon Coburn in the lineup but look for Mike Reilly to take over PP2 duties.
Coburn has been on the Senators' taxi squad but was called up on Thursday morning and will play for the first time since March 4th. Coburn, who has just one assist and a minus-6 rating in 11 games this season, will replace Christian Wolanin.
Erik Brannstrom is expected to miss at least one week with an undisclosed injury, so wolfing will be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Wolanin has been out with a lower-body injury since January 27th.
Wolanin played 7:35 TOI before departing Wednesday's loss in Vancouver with a lower-body injury. If Wolanin can't play in Thursday's rematch, look for Josh Brown to draw back into the lineup after sitting as a healthy scratch last night. Mike Reilly would take over on PP2.
Wolanin was held off of the scoresheet while playing 16:34 TOI in the season debut on Friday but will be replaced by Mike Reilly on Saturday.
Wolanin had four goals and eight assists (12 points) in 30 games with Ottawa last season but missed the first four and a half months of this year with a shoulder injury. He's expected to start on the third-pair with Andreas Englund but could move up as the game goes on.
