There has been plenty of roster movement between NHL teams and the taxi squad on a daily basis this season. Although some major names may be highlighted in separate articles, this is where you’ll find the majority of that shuffle news each day:
West Division
- Conor Timmins has appeared on the AHL transaction page, apparently sent down by the Colorado Avalanche after being moved to the taxi squad yesterday. The young defenseman has played in 17 games for the Avalanche this season but is–incredibly–still looking for his first NHL point. Timmins had 27 of them last season in just 40 games with the Colorado Eagles of the AHL.
North Division
- The Ottawa Senators have recalled Clark Bishop and Alex Formenton from the taxi squad, with the latter expected to make his season debut in the early game this evening. After scoring 27 goals and 53 points in 61 AHL games last season, Formenton hasn’t been able to create as much offense this year, scoring just four times in 12 games. The team has also recalled Olle Alsing and Jack Kopacka to the taxi squad while sending Kevin Mandolese back to the AHL.
Central Division
East Division
- The Washington Capitals have re-assigned Brian Pinho and Philippe Maillet from the taxi squad to the AHL, with the Hershey Bears playing tonight. Neither one has suited up in the AHL yet this season, instead just seeing spot duty on the NHL squad.
- The Philadelphia Flyers have swapped goaltenders, moving Alex Lyon from the taxi squad to the AHL and Felix Sandstrom from the AHL to the taxi squad. The Lehigh Valley Phantoms are in action tonight, meaning Lyon may get in some game action to stay fresh.
- The Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled Radim Zohorna from the taxi squad, moving Brandon Tanev to injured reserve to make room. Sam Miletic and Justin Almeida have been re-assigned to the taxi squad from the AHL.
