The NHL schedule is completely blank this evening, thanks to the postponement of the Calgary Flames-Chicago Blackhawks game. The league does have a very heavy schedule for tomorrow evening, meaning there should still be plenty of minor league movement today to prepare. As always, we’ll keep track of the shuffling right here.
Atlantic Division
- The Boston Bruins have sent Jack Ahcan back to the AHL, though it may not be for very long. The team was missing both Connor Clifton and John Moore from practice today (along with goaltender Linus Ullmark) due to “testing issues” according to head coach Bruce Cassidy. The Bruins of course just came back from Calgary, where they played the Flames on Saturday night–just before seven members from that team entered the protocol.
Metropolitan Division
- The New Jersey Devils have recalled Marian Studenic and Kevin Bahl from the minor leagues, adding another pair of young players to the roster. Ryan Graves remains in COVID protocol, meaning Bahl is getting his first chance in the NHL this season. One of the biggest parts of the Taylor Hall trade, Bahl has two points in 19 games for the Utica Comets this year.
Central Division
Pacific Division
- The San Jose Sharks have recalled Jayden Halbgewachs from the San Jose Barracuda, giving him an NHL call-up after a hot start. The 24-year-old undrafted forward has 16 points in 19 games for the Barracuda this season. Only ever recalled to the taxi squad previously, Halbgewachs has yet to make an appearance in an NHL game.
