Six games are on the NHL schedule this evening, including an all-important matchup between the Dallas Stars and Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver has been essentially on a must-win streak for a while now, but have managed to keep it up, notching victories in each of their last five games. They sit seven points behind Dallas and the Nashville Predators, who hold the last two wild card spots, and six behind the Los Angeles Kings for the final Pacific Division position. As the Canucks and others prepare for tonight’s action, we’ll keep track of all the minor league shuffling.
Atlantic Division
- The Detroit Red Wings have recalled Chase Pearson once again, his second recall in three days. The 24-year-old forward has appeared in two games for the Red Wings this season and is still looking for his first NHL point.
- Jack Ahcan is back with the Boston Bruins, recalled today after going down over the weekend. The 24-year-old undrafted defenseman has made his way quickly up the organization’s depth chart, becoming a regular injury call-up this season. In five games with Boston this year, he has one goal.
Metropolitan Division
Central Division
- The Chicago Blackhawks have returned Cale Morris to the AHL, after a few days with the big club. The 25-year-old netminder has actually spent most of the season in the ECHL, posting an .896 save percentage in 19 appearances with the Indy Fuel. Collin Delia, who had been away from the team on bereavement leave, was back today.
Pacific Division
- After signing his entry-level contract earlier this month, Noah Philp has now officially joined the Bakersfield Condors on his amateur tryout. The 23-year-old has spent the last few years playing for the University of Alberta, after a short stint in the AHL with the Stockton Heat in 2018-19.
