The Wild have signed Jordan Greenway to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Greenway, 21, was a second round pick (No.50 overall) in 2015 and is set to join the Wild after finishing up his junior year at Boston University. Greenway is an absolute monster, standing in at 6-foot-5, 230 lbs. and is coming off of a year in which he scored 13 goals with 22 assists (35 points) in 36 games. He could jump right into the Minnesota lineup and could be an important addition for them in the postseason.
The Bruins signed Ryan Donato to a two-year entry-level contract and he will likely make his NHL debut on Monday.
Donato, 21, just wrapped up his third year at Harvard University where he collected 26 goals and 17 assists (43 points) in just 29 games. The Bruins are really banged up, so Donato could be thrust into a key role right from the get-go. The Boston native was a second round pick (No. 56 overall) in 2014.

Line Change
Cole will make his Blue Jackets debut on Monday.
The Blue Jackets have acquired Ian Cole from the Senators for Nick Moutrey and a 2020 3rd Round Pick.
Cole was acquired in the Derick Brassard trade but was always expected to be flipped before the trade deadline. The 29-year-old can help on the offensive end and should slot in as a third-pairing defenseman with Columbus. He had 13 points (3G / 10A) in 47 games with the Penguins before his first trade.
The Penguins have traded Cole, G Filip Gustavsson and a 2018 first-round draft pick to the Senators in exchange for Derick Brassard,

The Avalanche recalled Dominic Toninato from San Antonio (AHL) on Tuesday.

Pouliot will come out of the Canucks lineup on Tuesday.
Pouliot has played well since joining the Canucks but has been held pointless with a minus-4 rating in his last seven games, so he will take a seat with Alex Biega drawing back in.
Weber (foot) isn't expected to play until after the All-Star break.
Ellis (knee) will make his season debut on Tuesday.
Ellis missed the first 38 games of the season after undergoing offseason knee surgery, but will play his first game of the season tonight in Vegas. Ellis, who is expected to skate on a pairing with Roman Josi, is coming off of the best season of his career, in which he registered 16 goals and 22 assists (38 points) in 71 games. Ellis is one of the better offensive-defensemen in the NHL and makes the Predators that much more dangerous, especially on the power-play.
