Taxi Squad Shuffle: 01/03/22

January 3, 2022 at 10:01 am CDT | by Gavin Lee Leave a Comment

There is just one game on the schedule for the NHL tonight, as the Edmonton Oilers travel to New York to try and slow down the Rangers. Edmonton is in freefall after a hot start while the Rangers are continuing to ride the outstanding goaltending of Igor Shesterkin. As those teams and others prepare, we’ll keep track of all the minor league and taxi squad shuffling.

Atlantic Division

  • With Jake Muzzin expected to return for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Teemu Kivihalme has been moved off the taxi squad and back to the AHL. Muzzin’s return will likely bump Alex Biega back to the taxi after he played in Saturday’s game against the Senators.
  • The Tampa Bay Lightning have sent Alex Barre-Boulet and Maxime Lagace to the AHL, giving the Syracuse Crunch a boost as players come off the NHL’s COVID list. Andrei Vasilevskiy made his return to the Tampa Bay crease last night, and though he showed some obvious rust, there’s no need for Lagace any longer.

Metropolitan Division

  • The Carolina Hurricanes have sent Stefan Noesen and Alex Lyon to the AHL, moving them off the taxi squad for the time being. With the Hurricanes off until Friday, the pair can get in some time with the Chicago Wolves this week.
  • Pierre-Olivier Joseph has been activated from the COVID Protocol, but not back to the NHL roster. The Pittsburgh Penguins have reassigned the young defender to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, but he will be the next man up should a need arise on the NHL blue line.

Central Division

  • The Nashville Predators have recalled Matt Tennyson to the taxi squad, adding another experienced body to the traveling group. The Predators are headed on a three-game road trip that starts tomorrow night.
  • The Colorado Avalanche have recalled Mikhail Maltsev and Hunter Miska to the taxi squad, while sending Trent Miner back to the AHL. Maltsev, 23, has 17 points in 23 games for the Colorado Eagles this season but is still looking for his first point with the Avalanche.
  • With Cam Talbot suffering an injury in the Winter Classic, the Minnesota Wild have recalled Andrew Hammond to the team’s taxi squad. Calen Addison, who was recalled to replace Jonas Brodin in the game, has also been loaned back to the taxi squad.
  • Riley Tufte is getting the call, but not quite to the NHL roster. The Dallas Stars have announced that the young forward has been moved from AHL Texas to the taxi squad. The hulking forward has played in five games with Dallas this season in a fourth line role, but has also flashed some scoring ability in the minors.

Pacific Division

  • Ashton Sautner and Spencer Martin have been sent back to the AHL from the Vancouver Canucks taxi squad, given the team doesn’t play again for another week.
  • The Arizona Coyotes have reassigned Jan Jenik from the taxi squad to the AHL’s Tucson Roadrunners. Jenik has suited up for three games with the ’Yotes this season, but only for about 20 total minutes of ice time and zero points. The young forward needs some more seasoning in the minors before he can make an impact at the next level.
