The Calgary Flames have agreed to terms with Providence forward Mark Jankowski.

The club signed him to an entry-level contract Wednesday, and the 21-year-old center will report to the AHL's Stockton Heat on an amateur tryout for the rest of the season.

Jankowski scored 15 goals and added 25 assists in his senior season with the Friars.

The Flames selected him 21st overall in 2012.

The Montreal Canadiens have placed backup goalie Ben Scrivens on waivers, the team announced Wednesday.

The move comes following the signing of college free agent Charlie Lindgren who has joined the team in Tampa.

Scrivens had been with the team on emergency basis since joining following a trade from the Edmonton Oilers on Dec. 28, according to Sportsnet's Eric Engels. He went 5-8-0 in 14 games with the Canadiens.

The 29-year-old will be assigned to the St. John's IceCaps of the American Hockey League if he isn't claimed, while the newly acquired Lindgren will burn the first year of his contract.

The Florida Panthers' offense is about to take a serious hit down the stretch.

Vincent Trocheck will miss the final six games of the regular season with an apparent ankle injury, head coach Gerard Gallant confirmed Wednesday.

The 22-year-old was spotted wearing a cast at practice Wednesday, and he's expected to wear it for 10 days, according to The Miami Herald's George Richards.

He may have suffered a non-displaced fracture of the ankle blocking a shot in the Panthers' 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night, according to the report.

The Panthers hope he'll be ready to return for the start of the playoffs in mid-April.

Trocheck is tied for the team lead with 25 goals and ranks third with 53 points. He appeared in all of the Panthers' 76 games.

The Montreal Canadiens have signed free-agent goaltender Charlie Lindgren to a two-year two-way contract, the team announced Wednesday.

"We are very happy to have reached an agreement with Charlie Lindgren. Lindgren was in our mind the best free-agent goaltender available coming out of the U.S. college level," general manager Marc Bergevin said. "He made the decision to join the Canadiens organization and will complete the season with the team. Lindgren is a top goaltender coming out of college, and becomes an excellent prospect for our organization, bringing some depth at this position."

Lindgren had an outstanding season with the St. Cloud State Huskies. He went 30-9-1 in 40 games, leading the NCAA in wins, saves, and shutouts, while also finishing third with a .925 save percentage and fourth with a 2.13 goals-against average.

The Nashville Predators say they expected Harvard standout Jimmy Vesey to sign with them before the trade deadline, but the prospect's representatives reportedly told the club the opposite.

The Predators were told of Vesey's decision a few days before the deadline, "in order for the team to conduct business unrelated to him," a league source told ESPN's Joe McDonald.

Nashville general manager David Poile and assistant GM Paul Fenton both claim that Vesey told the Predators he would sign with them prior to the deadline, and Fenton said Tuesday that the team changed its deadline plans thinking Vesey would sign there.

McDonald's league source said Wednesday that the Predators should have approached the deadline knowing Vesey wouldn't be joining them, and that if there was any miscommunication between the two sides, it was "cleared up" before Feb. 29.

Vesey's reps were surprised by Poile's insinuation Monday night that the 22-year-old "received bad advice and bad counsel," according to the report.

The Predators' 2012 third-round pick informed Nashville he would not be signing with them earlier this week, instead opting for unrestricted free agency beginning on Aug. 15.
