AHL Shuffle: 03/30/22

Six games grace the NHL schedule this evening, including an all-important matchup between the two newest teams in the league. The Vegas Golden Knights can’t afford to lose games like tonight’s match against the Seattle Kraken if they have any hope of making the playoffs, as they currently sit a point behind the Dallas Stars for the final wild card position despite having played three more times. Two other important games between playoff hopefuls happen in Edmonton and Vancouver, while several other teams around the league are also in action. As they and others prepare, here are today’s minor league moves.

Atlantic Division

• The Grand Rapids Griffins have signed a pair of local college free agents, bringing in Drew Worrad from Western Michigan and Trenton Bliss from Michigan Tech on AHL contracts that run through 2022-23. Both players had outstanding offensive seasons this year, scoring 45 and 40 points respectively and will now try to carry over that play to the professional level.

Metropolitan Division

Central Division

• Connor Dewar has been returned to the AHL from the Minnesota Wild, after last playing on March 19. The 22-year-old rookie has suited up 30 times this season but has just five points to his name, and has averaged fewer than ten minutes of ice time in those appearances. It’s been different in the minor leagues, where Dewar has 11 points in 12 games.

Pacific Division
