Colorado and Montreal swapped goalies Wednesday with Jose Theodore heading to the Avalanche in exchange for David Aebischer.
The trade marks the second time a high-profile goaltender left Montreal for Denver, following Patrick Roy's historic move to the mile-high city during the 1995-96 season.
Theodore, 29, has a 3.46 goals-against average and an .881 save percentage this season. Aebischer, 28, has a 2.98 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage.
Theodore was 17-15-5 for Montreal this season after winning a career-best 33 games in 2003-04.
Aebischer, who had a miserable month of December before turning his - and Colorado's - season around in January, is 25-14-2 this season.
