Tyler Seguin returned to the Dallas Stars lineup on Wednesday night with his team hosting Arizona. Seguin had missed 11 games with a lower-body injury, an injury that resulted in Logan Stankoven getting recalled. This was the first time Dallas has something resembling their postseason lineup all healthy and in place (with a couple minor [...]
Wayne Simmonds is set to retire as a Philadelphia Flyer as it was announced he will sign a one-day contract with the team to officially end his NHL career. At his peak in the 2010s, Simmonds was one of the premiere power forwards in the league who would upon for 25-30 goals, 50-60 points, and [...]
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. There were a number of candidates to take the role but Yegor Chinakhov ended up on that line. Part of that may be the injury suffered by Justin Danforth, [...]
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 [...]
A recent surge in scoring from Jack Roslovic started seeing his name featured more prominently in trade rumours (and the fact that he’s an unrestricted free agent didn't hurt). The forward has just 23 points in 40 games this season for Columbus, but had 13 points and 44 shots on goal in 12 games since [...]
Montreal has been using three goalies for the season and with Sam Montembeault signing an extension, one of Jake Allen or Cayden Primeau seemed destined to eventually get traded. 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: [...]
Nashville continues to add some depth pieces as they traded for Anthony Beauvillier yesterday (that breakdown can be viewed here), added Jaret Anderson-Dolan through waivers, and have now acquired Jason Zucker from Arizona. Zucker had signed a one-year deal in the offseason to try and keep his value afloat and he’s now heading to Nashville [...]
With Cole Perfetti’s declining usage in Winnipeg of late, leading to a recent healthy scratch, combined with Gabriel Vilardi’s lingering injury issues, Winnipeg going out to get a scoring winger made a lot of sense as the Trade Deadline neared. They acquired Sean Monahan from Montreal over a month ago to help at centre, and [...]
After being sent to the AHL following his return from the Player Assistance Program, it seemed very likely that Evgeny Kuznetsov’s tenure in Washington had come to an end. He did report to the AHL, but the Carolina Hurricanes have kept adding to their roster by acquiring Kuznetsov from Washington. That follows their trade for [...]
