Colorado Eagles News Release


WINDSOR, CO. - The Colorado Eagles, proud AHL affiliate of the Colorado Avalanche, have announced that forward Martin Kaut has been loaned to the Czech Republic men's national junior team for the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship in British Columbia. The 19 year-old has posted five goals and seven assists in 26 AHL games with the Eagles this season.

Kaut was selected by the Avalanche with the 16th overall pick at the NHL Draft in Dallas on June 22 and was signed by Colorado to a three-year, entry-level contract in July. He spent the 2017-18 campaign with HC Dynamo Pardubice in the Czech Republic's top professional league and recorded 16 points (9g, 7a) in 38 games. The Brno, Czech Republic, native split the 2016-17 campaign with Pardubice and HC Dynamo's junior team, registering one point (0g, 1a) in 26 outings with Dynamo and 16 points (4g, 12a) in 22 contests with the under-20 squad.

Kaut has represented his country in numerous international events, including the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship in Buffalo, N.Y., where he ranked fourth on the team with seven points (2g, 5a) in seven games en route to a fourth-place finish at the tournament. His five assists were tied for third on the team and second among the Czech forwards. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound right wing helped his country win gold for the first time at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament in 2016, tallying four points (1g, 3a) in five games.

At 16th overall, Kaut was the second-highest selection of a Czech-born player in franchise history (Vaclav Nedorost, 14th overall, 2000).

The Eagles return to action on Friday, December 21st when they host the Bakersfield Condors at 7:05pm MT at the Budweiser Events Center.
