Taxi Squad Shuffle: 12/31/21

December 31, 2021 at 12:34 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose Leave a Comment

The final day of 2021 originally featured seven games on the schedule today but that has been trimmed down to four due to some postponements.  Nevertheless, it should once again be a busy day on the transaction and taxi squad fronts and we’ll keep track of those moves here.

Atlantic Division

  • The Senators announced (Twitter link) that forwards Clark Bishop and Logan Shaw have been added to the taxi squad. Those moves are likely linked to the placement of Joshua Norris and Tyler Ennis in COVID protocol earlier today.
  • The Bruins have recalled John Moore to the taxi squad, per the AHL’s transactions log. The veteran has played in just four games with Boston this season while chipping in with six points in ten games with Providence.
  • The Maple Leafs announced (Twitter link) that they’ve returned defenseman Chad Krys from the taxi squad to AHL Toronto. The 23-year-old was acquired from Chicago three weeks ago and has played in ten AHL contests between the two teams this season.
  • The Panthers have recalled defenseman Matt Kiersted to the taxi squad, per the AHL’s transactions log.  The 23-year-old has a dozen points in 23 games with AHL Charlotte this season plus two points in five NHL contests with Florida.  Later in the day, they announced (Twitter link) that defenseman Chase Priskie was also recalled to the taxi squad while goaltender Spencer Knight was sent back to the taxi squad.

Metropolitan Division

  • The Penguins announced the recalls of wingers Anthony Angello and Radim Zohorna to the taxi squad. Both players had NHL time with Pittsburgh last season (19 games for Angello, nine for Zohorna) but both have played exclusively with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season.
  • The Capitals announced (Twitter link) that they’ve recalled defenseman Lucas Johansen from the taxi squad while sending Alexander Alexeyev to the taxi squad.  Johansen, a 2016 first-rounder, has yet to make his NHL debut but may get that opportunity now with this promotion.
  • The Hurricanes have assigned defenseman Jalen Chatfield to the taxi squad, per a team release.  The 25-year-old has an assist in seven games this season while averaging a little under 17 minutes per game.
  • The Blue Jackets announced the recall of defenseman Scott Harrington from AHL Cleveland.  He takes the place of forward Justin Danforth on the roster as the rookie will miss six weeks with a sprained MCL.  Harrington has an assist in six games with Columbus this season while Danforth has two goals and two assists in 13 contests.

Central Division

  • With the World Juniors ending earlier than expected, the Jets are taking advantage of it, announcing (Twitter link) the recall of winger Cole Perfetti to the taxi squad. The 19-year-old had six points in two games for Canada while picking up 15 in 17 contests with AHL Manitoba.
  • The Nashville Predators have recalled Mathieu Olivier from the taxi squad while sending Matt Luff and Michael McCarron back in their place. The moves come ahead of tomorrow’s afternoon match against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Pacific Division

  • The Sharks have recalled defenseman Jaycob Megna, per the AHL’s transactions log. The 29-year-old has played in six games with San Jose this season and will be needed as depth with Mario Ferraro currently in COVID protocol.
  • The Kings announced (Twitter link) that they’ve sent winger Vladimir Tkachev and defenseman Jacob Moverare back to AHL Ontario. Both players were recalled yesterday but didn’t play for Los Angeles in their win over Vancouver.
  • After Dustin Wolf served as the backup for the Flames last night, the team announced (Twitter link) that the goaltender has been sent back to AHL Abbotsford. That suggests that backup Daniel Vladar will be cleared to return for Sunday’s game against Chicago.
  • The Ducks announced (Twitter link) that winger Bryce Kindopp has been sent back to AHL San Diego.  He had been brought up on an emergency recall on Wednesday after putting up 10 points in 22 games with the Gulls.  Taking his place on Anaheim’s roster is Sam Steel who was activated from COVID protocol.
  • The Golden Knights have sent defenseman Daniil Miromanov and center Jake Leschyshyn back to Henderson of the AHL, per their team Twitter account. Miromanov has played in four games with Vegas this season, picking up an assist while Leschyshyn has a goal and three assists in 19 NHL games.

This post will be updated throughout the day.
