The Jets have signed Laurent Brossoit to a one-year, $650K deal.
The Panthers have signed Frank Vatrano to a one-year deal worth $925K.
Vatrano split his 2018 season between the Bruins and Panthers. The 23-year-old had eight points (5G / 3A) in 16 games with Florida, finishing the year with 10 points (7G / 3A) in 41 games. Vatrano seemed to have found a nice home in Florida and should be a bottom-6 winger with them to start 2019.
Vatrano (undisclosed) will not play on Saturday.
Vatrano is dinged up so he will come out of the lineup this afternoon. This is a tough break for Vatrano, who will miss an opportunity to face his former team in Boston. The injury is believed to be minor so look for him to be back in on Monday.
The Oilers have recalled Laurent Brossoit from Bakersfield (AHL) to backup on Sunday.
Al Montoya is not available to backup Cam Talbot vs. the Ducks on Sunday, so Brossoit comes up to handle that duty.

The Blues have reassigned Ville Husso to San Antonio (AHL).
Husso was recalled to backup Jake Allen on Monday and he could be recalled again to do the same on Thursday, but that is all dependant on Carter Hutton’s health.
The Blues have recalled Ville Husson from San Antonio (AHL).
Husso was Jake Allen’s backup on Saturday but went down to get a start with San Antonio, where he posted a 21-save shutout on Sunday, and he returns to backup Allen tonight in Anaheim. Husso’s recall means that Carter Hutton still is not ready to go.
Vatrano (lower-body) is expected to make his Panthers debut on Saturday.
Vatrano has been sidelined since February 6th with a lower-body injury, but it looks like he’ll play tonight vs. the Rangers. Vatrano appeared to have a bright future in Boston but was passed on the depth chart by players like Jake DeBrusk and Danton Heinen. He will make his Panthers debut with 20 goals and 11 assists (31 points) in 108 career NHL games.
The Bruins have traded Vatrano to the Panthers in exchange for a 2018 third-round draft pick.
The Oilers have re-assigned Brossoit to Bakersfield (AHL).
Vatrano left Tuesday’s game with a lower-body injury; doubtful to play on Wednesday.
Vatrano recorded one shot in 4:53 TOI before leaving last night’s game in Detroit. Vatrano is listed as doubtful with a lower-body injury, but there was a good chance he came out anyways with Brad Marchand returning from a five-game suspension.
