The Rangers have acquired Ryan Strome from the Oilers for Ryan Spooner.

Strome signed a two-year contract that carries a $3.1M AAV cap-hit. Strome has significantly better possession numbers than Spooner, posting a 53.5 CorsiFor% and +3.2 CF% rel with the Oilers this season. However, Strome has had a really difficult time producing offence, picking up just two points (1G / 1A) in 18 games this season.

Tonight he faces an Arizona team that is riding an impressive four-game winning streak while outscoring their opponents 20-to-4.

The Blues have sent Ville Husso to San Antonio (AHL).

Husso was recalled on Monday because Jake Allen was dealing with an injury, but it was not as serious as originally expected. Husso’s return to the AHL means that Allen will at least be available to backup on Thursday.
