Signing
The Coyotes signed Jamie McBain to a one-year, two-way contract.
McBain, 28, was the Kings seventh defenseman for the majority of last year, collecting nine points (2G / 7A) in 44 games. McBain is an offensive defenseman, but usually doesn’t play enough time on the power-play to be fantasy relevant. McBain signs in Arizona with 110 career points (30G / 80A) in 345 NHL games.
Injury
McBain (personal) will not play on Monday.
McBain will not play on Monday because he and his wife had their first baby on Monday afternoon. With McBain out, the Kings have recalled Derek Forbort to replace him.
Line Change
McBain in; McNabb out.
McBain has been a healthy scratch in every games since January 8th vs. the Rangers. He has collected seven points (2G / 5A) in 16 games this season. Look for him to be paired with Robyn Regehr and pick up some power-play time on the second unit.
Tryout
Jamie McBain is with the Kings on a professional tryout; could be signed soon.
The Kings had to play with only five defensemen on Saturday because Robyn Regehr is out with an injury and they do not have enough cap room to recall a defenseman from the AHL. If they sign McBain to a league minimum deal ($550,000) they will have enough cap-room to put him on the roster.
Line Change
Jamie McBain in; Henrik Tallinder out.
McBain will make his Sabres debut tonight. He had one goal and seven assists (8 points) in 40 games with the Hurricanes last season.
Injury
McBain may be out couple of weeks Muller says.
McBain has an unspecified injury but will be out for a couple of weeks with whatever it is that is ailing him. He will join Joni Pitkanen and Tim Gleason as Hurricane defenceman that are currently recovering from injury. Former first round pick Ryan Murphy has been recalled from the OHL to help in the 'Canes blueline.
Line Change
Canes working on PP now Staal is centering Nash and Skinner on the first unit. McBain and Faulk on the points.
Sounds like McBain moves up to the top PP unit. Six of his 18 points have come with the man advantage.
Line Change
Jamie McBain talking with Dave Lewis. He's the last on the ice other than Boucher and Barrasso.
Sounds as though McBain will be a healthy scratch again. The sophomore will have played in only 21 of the team's 27 games.

Line Change
Joslin in the lineup and McBain out today, Maurice says.
McBain produced three points and a minus-5 rating over his 10 games this season.
Line Change
McBain with Pitkanen again.
McBain finished his first game as a minus-2 but added some offense by taking three shots on net. While the team finds their game it might be a good idea to bench most Canes.
Line Change
McBain in early today. Sure sign he's in the lineup.
McBain draws in for his first game of the season. Last season he scored seven goals and 30 points over 76 games. Look for him to be at full strength following a two-game benching.
Line Change
Maurice indicated there would be no lineup changes for the Bruins, but left the door slightly ajar. Jamie McBain, Derek Joslin and Ryan Murphy were the only defensemen who skated today and appear to again be set as healthy scratches for the Bruins, but Maurice said the coaches would "go through the video" and make a final decision tomorrow.
McBain could be scratched for the third consecutive game. Last season he scored seven goals and 30 points, primarily quarterbacking the top PP unit. If he continues getting scratched, he could eventually be trade bait.
