Trevor van Riemsdyk News

The Hurricanes have acquired Trevor van Riemsdyk and a 7th round pick from the Golden Knights for a 2nd round pick.

After being selected in the expansion draft yesterday, it was rumoured that van Riemsdyk could be on the move before Friday’s draft and Carolina is where he ends up. The 25-year right shot defenseman was limited to 58 games in 2016-17, but set a career-high with 16 points (5G / 11A). TVR is just scratching the surface offensively and should be a key member of an already talented Hurricanes’ blueline.

Davidson will be back in the Canadiens' lineup on Tuesday.

Davidson has been out of the lineup for the last two games, but will replace Nathan Beaulieu in the lineup tonight vs. the Blackhawks. Davidson had two shots and a minus-1 rating in his Canadiens debut last Tuesday and has just one assist in 29 games this season.

van Riemsdyk left Friday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return; doubtful for Saturday.

van Riemsdyk was set to face-off against his brother James tonight vs. the Maple Leafs, but he was spotted wearing a sling this morning after leaving last night’s game. Sporting a sling usually suggests a fairly serious injury and it will almost certainly keep him out of tonight’s contest.
