Brown was acquired by the Capitals in the Martin Erat deal on Tuesday. He had 14 goals and 21 assists (35 points) in 51 games with Portland (AHL) but had no points in six games with Phoenix. Philipp Grubauer has been sent back to Hershey (AHL) as a corresponding move.
With Justin Faulk (upper-body) getting placed on injured reserve, the Hurricanes had room to recall Murphy. Murphy had 18 points (1G / 17A) in 16 games with the Checkers since being assigned to Charlotte on January 24. He leads Charlotte defensemen in assists, and was on an 11-game assist streak at the time of his recall.
Faulk was injured in the first period of Sunday's loss to the Ducks. Expect him to miss at least Friday and Saturday's games and then be re-evaluated after that. The Hurricanes have recalled Ryan Murphy from Charlotte (AHL).
Halmo was recently sent down, but was quickly recalled after the Islanders traded Thomas Vanek this afternoon. Halmo had two shots while averaging 9:49 TOI in two games last week.
Donovan has one goal and six assists in 36 games with the Islanders this season. He deserved to be recalled after playing very well in the AHL. Donovan had 21 points (7G / 14A) in 27 games on the Sound Tigers blueline.
Namestnikov was a minus-1 with four shots while averaging 9:28 TOI in four games with the Lightning during call-up. Getting Steven Stamkos back and shipping Martin St. Louis out, the Lightning send Namestnikov (a centre) down to recall a winger (Richard Panik) up.
Panik has 11 points (2G / 9A) in 39 games with the Lightning this season. While with Syracuse he had three goals and eight assists (11 points) in 13 games. With Panik coming up, Vladislav Namestnikov is going down to Syracuse.
Hanowski had one goal in five games with the Flames last season, but this is his first recall of 2013-14. He has 12 goals and 15 assists (27 points) in 51 games with Abbotsford.
Reinhart, 22, has no points in four games with the Flames this season, but will get another shot tonight against the Senators. He has registered 17 goals and 28 assists (45 points) in 51 games with Abbotsford.
Knight, 23, has 14 goals and 23 assists (37 points) in 57 games in his first season with Abbotsford. Tonight he will make his NHL debut against the Flames.
Perreault will miss his second straight game on Wednesday, but he has skated lately and is not believed to be too far away from returning to the line-up.
Mueller had one shot in 9:17 TOI in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jackets. His return to the AHL means that Rich Peverley will be back in the Stars lineup on Thursday.
Smith has one assists in 14 games with the Flames this season, but with Abbotsford he has registered four goals and six assists in 15 games.
Parker, 22, is a 5-foot-10, 195 lbs. winger who has one assist in 11 games with Rochester (AHL) this season. While with the Colorado Eagles (ECHL) he had 11 goals and 13 assists (24 points) in 27 games.
Following being traded by the Blue Jackets to the Kings, Gaborik jumped on a play to meet his new teammates in Winnipeg. Gaborik is a speedy winger who has battled injuries throughout the season, but is an elite NHL goal-scorer when healthy. He has just 18 goals and 23 assists (41 points) in 69 games dating back to last season, but in 2011-12 he had 41 goals (76 points) in 82 games with the Rangers. He will step into the Kings' top-6 and help their 27th ranked offence. The Kings have no problem playing defence, but Gabo should see time on Anze Kopitar's line, a duo that should be pretty dynamic.
Corvo's time with Ottawa was up and instead of sending him to Binghamton they have loaned him to the St. Louis Blues' AHL affiliate (Chicago) because Corvo is from nearby Oak Park, Illinois.
Phaneuf has one goal and one assist with a plus-5 rating in his last seven games. He has totalled 24 points (6G / 18A) and leads the Leafs in plus/minus at plus-20 through 61 games.
Hanzal missed Tuesday's contest against the Canucks after being injured on Sunday vs. the Blues. Monitor Hanzal's status following the Coyotes morning skate on Thursday.
Eriksson missed Tuesday's game but is set to return on Thursday. He is dealing with a minor injury in his heel. Eriksson has six goals and 16 assists (22 points) in 40 games this season. Eriksson had been healthy his entire career, but has struggled to stay at 100% this season.
McQuaid has not played since January 19 and he has missed a total of 31 games with injuries this season. His inability to stay healthy and losing Dennis Seidenberg for the season forced the Bruins to claim Corey Potter off of waivers and send a third-round pick to the Flyers for Andrej Meszaros.
