As always, we’ll keep track of all the day’s minor transactions right here:
- The Washington Capitals have made a dream come true today, calling up forward Travis Boyd for the first time in his professional career. Boyd has been playing for Hershey for two seasons since signing out of the University of Minnesota in 2015. A skilled forward, Boyd has 96 points in his 131 career AHL games, a big number for a former sixth-round pick. Whether he gets into the lineup right away is still to be seen, but he will definitely add some offense when he does.
- The St. Louis Blues have sent both Ivan Barbashev and Magnus Paajarvi down to the Chicago Wolves to get into some action during their bye-week. The Blues don’t play again until Sunday, meaning that the two youngsters can keep playing during the break and come back up this weekend.
- After acquiring Michael Stone yesterday, the Calgary Flames have cleared a roster spot by sending Garnet Hathaway to the AHL. The young winger has played 26 games in Calgary this season, scoring just five points.
- In response to the same deal, the Arizona Coyotes have brought up Anthony Deangelo according to Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post. The young defender is the same one that was suspended three games earlier this season for abuse of an official. The former first-round pick has played 20 games for the Coyotes this season, scoring nine points. An exceptional offensive talent, DeAngelo will slot nicely into the spot Stone has left vacant.
