The Columbus Blue Jackets and Vegas Golden Knights play this season for the second and final time.

The Chicago Blackhawks were busy sellers leading up to the March 7 NHL trade deadline.

Joel Armia was out for the game against the Seattle Kraken. That hurt, but it happens and there’s no timetable for his return. Patrik Laine was the player who was back in the lineup and that was a positive but all of these changes to the lineup are tough on a team.

Minten made his Providence debut against the Marlies on Wednesday night in Toronto.

The Columbus Blue Jackets welcome the Vegas Golden Knights into Nationwide Arena on Thursday. The Blue Jackets won their only meeting of the season in Vegas back on Jan. 30 in OT

The Iowa Wild have signed forward Connor MacEachern to a professional try-out, it was announced Wednesday.

The Montreal Canadiens got some reinforcements to take on the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday night, as Patrik Laine was back in the lineup. Unfortunately, Joel Armia had to pull out because of an injury sustained in Tuesday’s game. As a result, Martin St-Louis had to shuffle his cards a bit. Laine took Michael Pezzetta’s spot with Christian Dvorak and Josh Anderson, while Pezzetta joined Jake Evans and Emil Heineman.

The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired Conor Timmins and Connor Dewar from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Mar. 7.

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins had their hands full on Wednesday night, as the Atlantic Division-leading Hershey Bears were in town. Naturally, the game went to a five-round shootout, and the Penguins emerged with a 5-4 victory.

Not only did the Calgary Flames lose to the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 in a shootout, but they lost their captain Mikael Backlund to an upper body injury in the first period.
