The Jets have claimed Carl Dahlstrom off of waivers from the Blackhawks.

Dahlstrom was originally selected in the second round of the 2013 NHL Draft and has appeared in 49 NHL games over the last two seasons. The 24-year-old has spent most of his time in the AHL, where he had eight points (1G / 7A) in 22 games last year but will serve as an extra defenseman in Winnipeg this season.

Ekman-Larsson (flu) should be ready for the season opener.

Ekman-Larsson has been held off of the ice with the flu but head coach Rick Tocchet said that he’s on “the back end of it” now, which suggests that he’ll be available for the season opener on Thursday. Arizona added some quality offensive pieces this offseason, which should help boost Ekman-Larsson’s numbers this season.

The Bruins have re-signed Brandon Carlo to a two-year contract worth $5.7 million ($2.85M AAV).

The 6-foot-5, 212 lbs. defenseman has become a physical shutdown defenseman that the Bruins can rely on to eat up heavy minutes (20:55 ATOI) next to Torey Krug.
