It’s another full slate of action in the NHL today as 18 teams will do battle. That includes Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins as they welcome in their cross-state rivals from Philadelphia. Crosby is sitting on 499 goals for his career and it wouldn’t be much of a surprise to see him hit the 500-goal mark against the Flyers. In 78 career games against Philadelphia, the future Hall of Famer has 49 goals, most against any opponent. As those teams and others prepare for action, we’ll keep track of all the minor league shuffling.
Atlantic Division

Central Division
- The Winnipeg Jets have sent Johnathan Kovacevic to the minor leagues, now that Neal Pionk has waited long enough to rejoin his teammates in Canada. Kovacevic has played four games this season for the Jets, his first taste of NHL action after being a third-round selection in 2017. Still looking for his first point at that level, he’ll have to wait for another chance to suit up down the road.
- There’s some shift on the goalie front for the Chicago Blackhawks. NBC Sports Chicago’s Charlie Roumeliotis reports the team recalled goalie Cale Morris from the Rockford IceHogs today, sending goalie Arvid Soderblom and defenseman Jakub Galvas back to the minors. With Rockford playing at home tonight, the organization wanted Soderblom to play.
Pacific Division
- The Los Angeles Kings have recalled Jacob Moverare, giving them another defenseman ahead of their match against the Oilers tonight. Moverare, 23, has played in three games for the Kings, most recently seeing 18:45 of ice time against the Detroit Red Wings on February 2.
