Just three games grace the schedule tonight after the Seattle-Winnipeg game was postponed, meaning even more eyes will be on the Los Angeles Kings and Colorado Avalanche, doing battle as a pair of Stanley Cup hopefuls. The Kings righted the ship last night with a win over the Chicago Blackhawks, and combined with the Golden Knights’ loss, now have a three-point lead in the race for the third Pacific Division spot. Colorado meanwhile has still now slowed down, winning six in a row and eight of their last ten to extend their lead to 14 points in the Central. As they and others prepare for action, we’ll keep track of all the minor league shuffling.
Atlantic Division
- After bringing him up under emergency conditions, Taro Hirose has been returned to the AHL by the Detroit Red Wings today. The 25-year-old didn’t actually get into a game, and is still stuck on 12 appearances this season for the Red Wings. Hirose is set to become a Group VI unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, given how few NHL games he has played to this point.
Metropolitan Division
- The Philadelphia Flyers have recalled Egor Zamula, Tanner Laczynski, and Felix Sandstrom under emergency conditions, as Carter Hart, Rasmus Ristolainen, Cam Atkinson, and Patrick Brown are all out for tonight’s game. Sandstrom will start, just his second NHL appearance.
