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 recalled Klim Kostin to the active roster and expect the young forward to make his season debut this evening. The team has also assigned Dakota Joshua to the taxi squad, while moving Nathan Walker to the AHL’s Utica Comets. According to the AHL transaction page, Joel Hofer has also been recalled to the taxi squad.
- The Los Angeles Kings have sent Quinton Byfield to the AHL, where the Ontario Reign still have meaningful games to play this season. The Reign, along with the rest of the AHL’s Pacific Division, will begin a postseason tournament in a week’s time.
North Division
- After activating Frederik Andersen, the Toronto Maple Leafs have returned Joseph Woll to the AHL from the taxi squad. Woll, arguably the team’s top (signed) goaltending prospect, has continued to struggle at the minor league level, posting an .889 save percentage in 12 appearances this season.
- The Montreal Canadiens have recalled both Jesse Ylonen and Xavier Ouellet ahead of their game tonight against the Edmonton Oilers. Now that the Canadiens are locked into the fourth playoff spot in the North, they will rest several regulars including Josh Anderson, Tyler Toffoli, Eric Staal, Joel Edmundson, Jeff Petry, and Jake Allen.
- The Edmonton Oilers have also made a recall, bringing up Kyle Turris from the taxi squad for today’s game. Turris has played just 26 games this season and just one since April 8.
- The Ottawa Senators have recalled Logan Brown and Parker Kelly from the taxi squad. J.C. Beaudin and Lassi Thompson will replace them on the taxi squad, recalled from the Belleville Senators.
