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
- The St. Louis Blues have assigned Mitch Reinke to the taxi squad, sending Dakota Joshua to the AHL’s Utica Comets in the process. Reinke has recorded 12 points in 18 games for Utica this season but hasn’t seen NHL ice since 2018.
- The Anaheim Ducks have sent Kodie Curran to the AHL and replaced him on the taxi squad with Trevor Carrick. Neither one has played an NHL game this season, which is somewhat surprising given Curran’s success in the SHL the last two years.
- The San Jose Sharks have sent Ivan Chekhovich and Alexander True back to the AHL where they have spent most of this season. True, a 23-year-old undrafted forward, has 20 points in 27 games for the San Jose Barracuda. Joel Kellman and Fredrik Handemark were also sent down, per CapFriendly, with True being recalled later in the day back to the taxi squad. Greg Pateryn, Joachim Blichfeld, and Alexander Barabanov were also all sent back to the taxi squad.
- The Colorado Avalanche have returned Kiefer Sherwood and Miikka Salomaki to the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. Sherwood has two assists in eight games with the Avs while Salomaki, a veteran of 167 career NHL games, has yet to suit up with Colorado this season.
North Division
- The Winnipeg Jets have returned Dominic Toninato to the AHL, where he has two goals in two games this season. The 27-year-old played 46 games for the Panthers last season but has yet to play in the NHL this year.
Central Division
- The time has come for Joe Veleno, who the Detroit Red Wings recalled from the taxi squad today. Veleno is expected to make his NHL debut after spending this season in Sweden playing for Malmo in the SHL. The Red Wings have also done their daily goalie swap, recalling Kaden Fulcher to the taxi squad and sending Kevin Boyle back to the AHL. They have also added Hayden Verbeek to the taxi squad.
- The Carolina Hurricanes have returned Joakim Ryan to the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. Ryan has played in the last three games while on an emergency loan, being shifted back to the taxi squad on non-gamedays.
- The Florida Panthers have recalled Grigori Denisenko and Aleksi Heponiemi from the taxi squad to the active roster, and both will be in tonight against the Predators.
- The Dallas Stars are giving Ty Dellandrea a chance to get some game action in, sending him to the minors. He has played just once since April 9th, hardly an ideal situation for one of their better prospects. The 20-year-old has five points in 26 NHL games this season.
- The Tampa Bay Lightning have brought up Callan Foote from the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. Foote, a 2017 first-rounder, has averaged 13:00 per game in 34 games this season.
East Division
- The Boston Bruins have recalled Trent Frederic from the taxi squad while sending Jeremy Swayman back to the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. Frederic has played in 36 games so far this season while Swayman has impressed in limited action, posting a .946 SV% in seven starts and should get another chance soon.
- The Buffalo Sabres have brought up Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen from the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. He’s expected to make his second career NHL start tonight.
- The New Jersey Devils have promoted Nolan Foote and Connor Carrick from the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. Foote made his NHL debut earlier this month and has a point in each of the two games he played while Carrick has been held off the scoresheet in five games. In corresponding moves, Colton White was assigned to the taxi squad while Fabian Zetterlund was recalled to the taxi squad.
- The Philadelphia Flyers are giving Yegor Zamula his NHL debut night, recalling him from the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. The 21-year-old has five assists in 17 games with Lehigh Valley of the AHL this season. Andy Andreoff was also brought up from the taxi squad.
