Chicago has acquired Aku Raty, Shea Weber, and Victor Soderstrom from Utah for a 2026 6th-round pick.
Raty was a fifth-round pick, 151st overall, of the Arizona Coyotes in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old has spent the entirety of the 2024-25 season in the AHL, tallying 19 points (4G / 15A) in 50 games with the Tucson Roadrunners.
The Oilers have acquired Jake Walman from the Sharks for Carl Berglund and a conditional 2026 first-round pick.
Walman made a big impact in 50 games with San Jose this season, averaging 23:11 time-on-ice and scoring 32 points (6G / 26A), earning a coveted first-round pick for the Sharks. The 29-year-old Walman likely won't see the powerplay exposure he had in San Jose now, behind Evan Bouchard on Edmonton's depth chart, but he is still poised to suit up as one of their top-four defensemen.
Line Change
Stillman will draw into the Hurricanes lineup on Thursday.
Stillman will fill in for Dmitry Orlov, who was a late scratch due to an undisclosed injury. Stillman has appeared in just two games with the Hurricanes this season.
Ekholm (illness) is out on Thursday vs. Montreal.
Ekholm played only 17:59 time-on-ice in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks, a significant decrease from the 22:36 he is averaging this season, and will miss Thursday's game against the Montreal Canadiens due to an illness. The 34-year-old Ekholm has 27 points (8G / 19A) in 60 games this season.
Line Change
Jones will make his Oilers' debut vs. Montreal on Thursday
The Oilers acquired Trent Frederic and Max Jones in a three-way trade with the Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils on Tuesday. Jones has spent most of the 2024-25 season in the AHL but is no stranger to the NHL. The 27-year-old forward has 62 points (31G / 31A) in 265 career games.
The Oilers recalled Jones from Bakersfield (AHL) on Wednesday.

Ekholm (illness) missed practice and is questionable to play on Thursday vs. Montreal.
Ekholm played only 17:59 time-on-ice in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks, a significant decrease from the 22:36 he is averaging this season, and could miss Thursday's game against the Montreal Canadiens due to an illness. The 34-year-old Ekholm has 27 points (8G / 19A) in 60 games this season.
Savoie has been loaned to the Bakersfield Condors (AHL).
Savoie spent most of Edmonton's last game playing on the second line alongside Leon Draisaitl, but he will be returning to the AHL. The 21-year-old Savoie has 37 points (13G / 24A) in 45 games with the Bakersfield Condors (AHL) this season.
Goalie Start
Andersen will start in Detroit on Tuesday.
The Hurricanes have not won consecutive games since January 30th but will attempt to correct that negative trend on Tuesday when they turn to Andersen between the pipes against the Detroit Red Wings. The 35-year-old Andersen was solid in his most recent outing, saving 28 of 30 shots (.933 SV%) in a 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. He has a 2.29 GAA and .907 SV% in 11 games this season (6-5-0). The Hurricanes enter Tuesday's contest as -203 road favorites against a Red Wings squad outscored 10-5 during a two-game losing skid (0-2-0).
The Oilers have acquired Max Jones from the Bruins in a three-way trade that also included the Devils.

Line Change
Savoie will draw back into Edmonton's lineup on Tuesday vs. Anaheim.
Jeff Skinner will likely be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks, allowing Savoie to re-enter the lineup. The 21-year-old Savoie is averaging 12:13 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) in three games with Edmonton this season.
Jarry has been recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).
Jarry has been in the AHL the last month and a half but Pittsburgh is desperate for a spark in their crease after allowing four or more goals in five of their last six games (1-3-2). The 29-year-old Jarry was serviceable during his AHL stint, posting a 2.67 GAA and .908 SV% in 12 games (6-5-1). In a corresponding move, Pittsburgh has reassigned Joel Blomqvist to the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins (AHL).
