Jack Quinn returned to the Buffalo lineup on Wednesday night after missing two months due to a lower-body surgery.

Detroit welcomed Jake Walman back to practice on Monday after he missed three games due to a lower-body injury.

Dylan Larkin was back in the lineup on Thursday night for Detroit as the Red Wings had a big home matchup against the New York Islanders.

By |2024-03-14T07:15:20-04:00March 14th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

There was a lot of good injury news from Wednesday so let’s start with Calgary Flames forward Connor Zary. He was on the ice for an optional practice on Wednesday and given the team’s changes/injuries elsewhere, they need him. It still doesn’t mean an imminent return, but certainly trending in the right direction. * It [...]

With Jack Roslovic traded to New York before the deadline, there was an open spot on Columbus’s top line next to Boone Jenner and Johnny Gaudreau.

In his second season after signing a long-term extension with San Jose, it came out that Tomas Hertl was looking to be moved elsewhere. It sure seemed as if it would be a trade that could happen in the summer, especially with Hertl’s recent injury, but Vegas did not want to wait and went out [...]

That happened a couple of hours before the trade deadline as Allen was sent to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a conditional third-round pick: [...]
