Tierney was just sent down on Saturday, but with the Sharks trading multiple roster players today, the have recalled Tierney to be in the lineup tonight vs. the Habs. Tierney has one goals and six assists in 24 games with San Jose.
Sheppard had a lot of travel to do after being traded from San Jose. Look for him to make his Rangers debut on Wednesday in Detroit.
Fast missed nearly one month with a knee injury that he suffered on February 7th. He will return on the Rangers fourth line tonight vs. the Predators. Fast has nine points (3G / 6A) in 37 games this season.
Talbot allowed three goals on 33 shots in the Rangers 4-2 loss to the Flyers on Saturday night. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Talbot, who went 8-2-2 with a 2.80 GAA and .906 SV% in February. Tonight it looks like he will face a Nashville team who are first in the NHL, but have surprisingly lost four of six.
The Flames kept very quiet on Giordano’s injury leading up to the deadline, likely to protect their potential deals. Giordano even took warmups on Friday, but obviously didn’t play. The Flames and Gio explored all options to see if they could put surgery off, but ultimately the Flames medical staff elected the best course of action for Giordano was for him to undergo surgery. He is expected to rehab for the next 4-5 months.
The Maple Leafs had plenty of cap-room to take on Brewer’s $3.75M cap-hit. The Leafs wanted to move Holzer for a draft-pick, rather than lose him in free agency for nothing this offseason. Brewer has just one goal and five assists in 26 games between the Lightning and Ducks this season.
Holzer, 26, is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. He has plenty of size at 6-foot-3, 205 lbs and bring a physical brand of hockey, but provides little in the way of offence. Holzer had six assists in 34 games with the Maple Leafs.
After being acquired from the Coyotes last night, he will make his Rangers debut tonight vs. the Predators. He is expected to start his Rangers career with Kevin Klein, but head coach Alain Vigneault is expected to mix those two up with Marc Staal and Dan Boyle until he finds a combination that works. Yandle has 41 points (4G / 37A) and a league-worst minus-32 rating in 63 games with the Coyotes.
Lindstrom, 31, returned to the NHL this season after spending the last five seasons overseas. With the Blues at full health, Lindstrom has been a healthy scratch since February 6th. Overall he has three goals and three assists in 34 games this season.
Clark, 24, has one assist in seven games with Anaheim this season. He is expected to report to Lake Erie (AHL), having posted just six points (1G / 5A) in 45 games with Norfolk.
Sgarbossa, 22, will report to Norfolk (AHL). He has 23 points (4G / 19A) in 40 games with Lake Erie. In nine career NHL games Sgarbossa has registered one assist.
Bellemare, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, will now make $712,500 per season through the 2016-17 season. The 29-year-old has eight points (4G / 4A) in 62 games with the Flyers.
Louis, 27, is an undrafted defenseman who had three assists in 34 games with Portland (AHL) prior to being traded. He will report to Bridgeport (AHL).
Leggio, 30, you might remember as the goalie who dislodged the net on a breakaway in the AHL earlier this season, is heading back to the Portland Pirates (AHL). He has gone 7-13-0 with a 3.93 GAA and .861 SV% with Bridgeport (AHL) this season.
Caron, 23, is set to become a restricted free agent in the offseason. He is a former first round pick, 25th overall in 2009, but has only tallied 28 points (12G / 16A) in 134 career NHL games with the Bruins. He has shown some scoring prowess at the AHL level this season, but hasn’t been able to translate that to the big leagues.
Talbot, 31, is a hard-working bottom-6 forward who will kill penalties. He lacks speed, so he should fit right in with the Bruins, but has loads of playoff experience. He has 15 points (5G / 10A) in 63 games this season.
Karlsson, 22, was a second round-pick (53red overall) in the 2011 NHL draft. He has registered 24 points (8G / 16A) in 37 games with Norfolk (AHL) this season—He has three points (2G / 1A) in 18 games with the Ducks. He will report to Springfield (AHL).
Bourque, who just cleared waivers, will report to Springfield. He was part of the trade to make the money work, but he is having a terrible season. Bourque has 10 points (2G / 8A) in 43 games between the Canadiens and Ducks.
Wisniewski, who reportedly suffered a foot injury last night, must have received a good prognosis on that front. The 31-year-old has a ton of offence, bringing a bomb to the Ducks power-play. He joins Cam Fowler, Sami Vatanen, Hampus Lindholm and Francois Beauchemin on the Ducks blue line—all of which have offensive capabilities.
Mitchell, 30, is from Montreal and in an interview with TSN, he sounded elated to be heading home. He is a strong skater, forechecker and penalty killer, who adds more depth to the Habs forward ranks. He had six goals and seven assists (13 points) in 51 games with the Sabres.
