Taxi Squad

There has been plenty of roster movement between NHL teams and the taxi squad on a daily basis this season. Although some major names may be highlighted in separate articles, this is where you’ll find the majority of that shuffle news each day:

North Division

• The Maple Leafs announced that they have brought up Timothy Liljegren and Nicholas Robertson to the taxi squad from the AHL’s Marlies while Kristians Rubins was sent from the taxi squad to the Marlies. Robertson was expected to push for regular playing time this season but a knee injury in his season debut changed those plans; he had been getting back up to speed in the minors over the last few weeks.
• The Senators have recalled Erik Brannstrom and Jack Kopacka from the minors to the taxi squad while sending Christian Wolanin and Alex Formenton to AHL Belleville, per the AHL’s transactions page.  Wolanin cleared waivers yesterday while Formenton scored his second career goal back on Tuesday.  Brannstrom is the notable recall and has played in 14 games with Ottawa so far this season.

East Division

• The Flyers announced the recall of Samuel Morin from the taxi squad. The 25-year-old – who has spent time up front this year after being a defenseman for his entire career – has played in just five games with Philadelphia this season.
• The Sabres announced that they’ve recalled Jean-Sebastien Dea from the taxi squad while C.J. Smith and Michael Houser have been loaned to the taxi squad.  Dea has 32 career games of NHL experience but has yet to suit up with Buffalo this season.  Houser was able to be sent down with Linus Ullmark being activated off IR (along with Kyle Okposo).
• The Penguins have recalled Drew O’Connor from the taxi squad, per a team release.  He is taking the place of Kasperi Kapanen on Pittsburgh’s roster with the winger being placed on injured reserve.  Jordy Bellerive and Josh Currie were also recalled to the taxi squad from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Central Division

• The Blue Jackets have promoted Cam Johnson to the active roster per a team release.  The netminder’s addition was needed with Joonas Korpisalo being listed as day-to-day due to a lower-body injury.
• After he cleared waivers, the Panthers assigned Anton Stralman to the taxi squad, reports George Richards of Florida Hockey Now.  Brett Connolly and Riley Stillman were recalled to Florida’s active roster.
• The Lightning announced that they’ve recalled Taylor Raddysh to the taxi squad from AHL Syracuse.  The winger has two goals and three assists in nine games with the Crunch this season.
• The Blackhawks have made a long list of roster moves.  Per the AHL’s transactions page, Wyatt Kalynuk and Ian Mitchell were sent from Chicago to AHL Rockford while Lucas Carlsson, Mackenzie Entwistle, and Reese Johnson were sent down from the taxi squad.  Mikael Hakkarianen, Brandon Pirri, and Alec Regula were all recalled to the taxi squad.
• The Nashville Predators have recalled rookie defenseman Jeremy Davies from the taxi squad. Davies is still looking for his first NHL point through seven games, but has not looked out of place thus far. Goaltender Devin Cooley has been reassigned from the squad to the AHL’s Chicago Wolves.

West Division

• The Kings have flipped taxi squad goaltenders according to the AHL’s transactions page.  Troy Grosenick was recalled by Los Angeles to after playing in yesterday’s game with Ontario while Matthew Villalta was sent back to the Reign.

There has been plenty of roster movement between NHL teams and the taxi squad on a daily basis this season. Although some major names may be highlighted in separate articles, this is where you’ll find the majority of that shuffle news each day:

West Division

• The Arizona Coyotes made a move as they usually do, this time recalling Michael Chaput from the taxi squad and bringing up Michael Bunting from the AHL to take his place.

North Division

• After losing in overtime last night to Toronto the Ottawa Senators have made a few moves. Alex Formenton and Filip Gustavsson have been re-assigned to the taxi squad, with Vitaly Abramov and Mark Kastelic going to the AHL to make room. Marcus Hogberg has also been assigned to the AHL on a conditioning stint. Given the Senators don’t play again until March 30, perhaps he’ll be ready to dress by their next game.

Central Division

• The Columbus Blue Jackets have recalled Alexandre Texier, placing Mikhail Grigorenko on the taxi squad to make room. Texier hasn’t played since March 14 and has just nine points in 30 games this season.

East Division

• The New Jersey Devils have sent Colton White to the AHL, moving him off the taxi squad after only recalling him yesterday. White, 23, has played in nine games at the AHL level this season but hasn’t yet cracked the New Jersey lineup. Later in the day, the team assigned Nicholas Merkley to the taxi squad and recalled Jesper Boqvist in time to play in this evening’s game.

Logan O’Connor was also recalled from the taxi squad, per CapFriendly.
• The San Jose Sharks have recalled Jeffrey Viel to the taxi squad from the AHL. The 24-year-old has yet to play an NHL game in his short career but could add a bit of physicality to the lineup if the Sharks need it.

Antti Suomela and Christian Jaros were sent to the taxi squad while Zach Gallant was sent back to the AHL, per CapFriendly.

East Division

• The Philadelphia Flyers have recalled Samuel Morin and Alex Lyon from the AHL to the taxi squad, sending Felix Sandstrom back the other way. As expected, Lyon got in some game action in Lehigh Valley’s game yesterday, but certainly didn’t fare very well. The goaltender allowed five goals on just 16 shots in a loss to the Hershey Bears.
• The Boston Bruins have sent Oskar Steen, Urho Vaakanainen, and Jeremy Swayman back to the AHL, recalling Callum Booth to the taxi squad in the process. The Providence Bruins play this afternoon against Hartford and look like they’re getting quite a group of reinforcements in time for the game.

• The Toronto Maple Leafs have recalled Mac Hollowell, Kristians Rubins, and Scott Sabourin to the taxi squad, sending Martin Marincin, Timothy Liljegren, and Nic Petan to the AHL for Wednesday’s Toronto Marlies game. The team will likely make a swap again the next day, bringing the more experienced taxi squad members back up.

• The Calgary Flames have sent Zac Rinaldo and Alexander Petrovic to the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. Rinaldo played in just his third game of the season last night while Petrovic has yet to see NHL action this season.

Central Division

• The Chicago Blackhawks have made quite a few transactions, recalling Reese Johnson, Mackenzie Entwistle, Nicolas Beaudin, Madison Bowey, Lucas Carlsson, and Wyatt Kalynuk to the taxi squad from the AHL. To make room for the six-man group, Mikael Hakkarainen, Brandon Pirri, John Quenneville, and Alex Regula have all been re-assigned to the Rockford IceHogs.

East Division

• The Washington Capitals have recalled Michael Sgarbossa and Garrett Pilon from the AHL to the taxi squad, as both Alex Ovechkin and T.J. Oshie are missing practice today.

Strome has played just three games for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms this season after spending half of the 2019-20 campaign in the ECHL. Carsen Twarynski and Alex Lyon were sent to the taxi squad, per CapFriendly.
• As their number of healthy goaltenders continues to dwindle, the Buffalo Sabres have recalled Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen from the AHL to the taxi squad. Carter Hutton was injured in last night’s game, leaving Dustin Tokarski and newly signed Michael Houser as the only two healthy netminders on the roster. Luukkonen, the team’s goaltender of the future, now must come up to serve as the team’s third option, not exactly leaving much depth at the position in the minor leagues. Rasmus Asplund was also sent to the taxi squad, per CapFriendly.
• The New Jersey Devils made several moves today. Per CapFriendly, Michael McLeod and Nicholas Merkley were recalled from the taxi squad while Ben Street and Jesper Boqvist were recalled to the taxi squad. Jeremy Groleau was sent from the taxi squad to the minors.
• With the New York lslanders not playing tonight, they’ve sent Oliver Wahlstrom back to the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. The 20-year-old has eight goals and seven assists in 26 games this season and will undoubtedly be recalled for Thursday’s game against Boston.

There has been plenty of roster movement between NHL teams and the taxi squad on a daily basis this season. Although some major names may be highlighted in separate articles, this is where you’ll find the majority of that shuffle news each day:

Central Division

• The Chicago Blackhawks announced several roster moves, swapping nine different players between the taxi squad and the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL. The team assigned four players from Rockford to the taxi squad, including forwards Mikael Hakkarainen, Brandon Pirri, John Quenneville and defenseman Alec Regula. The Blackhawks also assigned five players from the taxi squad to the AHL, including forward Reese Johnson and defensemen Nicolas Beaudin, Madison Bowey, Lucas Carlsson and Wyatt Kalynuk.
• The Columbus Blue Jackets announced they have activated center Alexandre Texier off the COVID-19 protocol list and assigned him to the taxi squad. The team has also assigned forward Mikhail Grigorenko to the taxi squad as well. Texier has missed two games while being on the protocol list, but it’s possible that Texier has been assigned to the taxi squad to accrue salary cap space since the team doesn’t play until Monday.
• The Nashville Predators announced they have recalled forward Rem Pitlick from the taxi squad. Pitlick, who has dominated in the AHL this season (eight goals and 10 points in eight games), has appeared in three games with the Predators but is still looking for his first NHL point.

• The Vancouver Canucks recalled defenseman Brogan Rafferty to the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. He was a high-scoring blueliner in the minors last season but has played just one game this year, recording an assist in January.

West Division

• The Minnesota Wild announced they have reassigned forward Joseph Cramarossa to the taxi squad. The 28-year-old got into his first NHL game since the 2016-17 season, getting 12:22 of ice time, but will have to wait for another chance to work his way back into the Wild’s lineup.
• The Arizona Coyotes announced five roster transactions.

There has been plenty of roster movement between NHL teams and the taxi squad on a daily basis this season. Although some major names may be highlighted in separate articles, this is where you’ll find the majority of that shuffle news each day:

West Division

• The Anaheim Ducks have reassigned defenseman Josh Mahura directly from the active roster to the AHL’s San Diego Gulls.

Central Division

• The Detroit Red Wings weren’t just calling Dennis Cholowski up to skate with the taxi squad. The young defenseman has now been placed on the active roster and is expected to make his season debut this evening against the Stars.

Dallas will replace Pysyk with the options already on their active roster, as they have reassigned fellow defenseman Taylor Fedun to the taxi squad and filled their open roster spots by recalling a trio of forwards: Nick Caamano, Rhett Gardner, and Tanner Kero. 

East Division
