Now that the trade deadline is over, and teams are relatively fixed for the rest of the season–save for some college additions as NCAA seasons wrap up–the only way to really change the makeup of your roster is minor league moves. As always, we’ll continue to track that minor shuffling right here.
Atlantic Division
- Taro Hirose has been recalled by the Detroit Red Wings, after going down yesterday to make sure he was eligible for the AHL playoffs. The 25-year-old has been outstanding for the Grand Rapids Griffins and does have three points in four games for the Red Wings.
Metropolitan Division
- After sending him down yesterday, Radim Zohorna is back with the Pittsburgh Penguins today. Unfortunately, someone took his jersey number in the meantime. Rickard Rakell will now wear No. 67 for the Penguins, with Zohorna switching to No. 63.
Central Division
- The St. Louis Blues have recalled Nathan Walker under emergency conditions, meaning, for now, he’ll continue his excellent season in the NHL. Walker has 44 points in 47 minor league games, but has also scored four goals and five points in nine appearances with the Blues. Quite the campaign for the 28-year-old forward.
- Ville Heinola is back with the Winnipeg Jets, recalled under emergency conditions once again. The young defenseman has been bounced up and down all season, though he is still expected to only serve as insurance in case one of the team’s defenders isn’t able to go tonight.
- The Arizona Coyotes have recalled Cam Dineen, who popped down to the AHL just to become eligible for the Calder Cup playoffs. Dineen played two games for the Coyotes over the weekend, taking his career total to 16 in this his rookie season.
Pacific Division
