The Arizona Coyotes announced Sunday that the team has dealt forwards Brendan Perlini and Dylan Strome to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for center Nick Schmaltz.

The moves sees the Coyotes part with their top picks in the 2014 and 2015 entry drafts in Perlini and Strome, respectively.

Perlini was in his third season with the Coyotes. Through 22 games this year, he's tallied two goals and four assists.

Arizona drafted Strome third overall in 2015, behind Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel, and one spot ahead of Mitch Marner, who went to the Toronto Maple Leafs. In 20 appearances this season, Strome has recorded three goals and three assists.

Schmaltz comes to the Coyotes after collecting 11 points in 23 games this season, good for fifth in team scoring with the Blackhawks. He finished last campaign with 52 points in 78 games.

The move marks the latest deal between the Coyotes and Blackhawks following recent trades involving Vinnie Hinostroza, Richard Panik, and Niklas Hjalmarsson, among others.

Christopher Haley of Winnipeg just became Patrik Laine's biggest fan.

The Nashville Predators placed forward Kyle Turris on injured reserve Sunday.

In response to the injury, the club has recalled forward Rocco Grimaldi from the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League.

Turris suffered an undisclosed injury in Friday's 6-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues after he was hit into the boards by Brayden Schenn in the first period.

The designation means the 29-year-old will miss at least the next three games against the Anaheim Ducks, Colorado Avalanche, and Arizona Coyotes.

Turris has had a solid start to the 2018-19 campaign, posting five goals and 16 points in 23 games.

Patrik Laine's five-goal outburst versus the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night will go down in the annals of NHL history, and the superstar's efforts were not lost on Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice.

"To be honest with you, I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner," Maurice told reporters following the 8-4 win. "I think I said that once and I (try to) keep it to myself, but on the nights that he's scored his three, he's had his chances to get so much more.

"Some of those goals you just gotta sit back and smile if you're standing on the right bench."

Laine's legendary performance marked his third hat-trick of November and launched him into first place in the league's goal-scoring race with 19 through 22 games. He's the first player since Johan Franzen in 2011 to record five goals in a single game, and now sits at 99 for his young career, putting him on the precipice of becoming the seventh player in NHL history to hit the century mark before turning 21, per NHL Public Relations.

Despite stealing the show with a career night, Laine insists nothing extraordinary was going through his mind in the process.

"Just try to score and try not to celly so hard," he said.
