As always, we’ll keep an eye on the minor transactions around the league right here. Keep checking back to stay updated on all the movement in the NHL.
- The Boston Bruins have recalled Rob O’Gara from the AHL. The 24-year old defenseman played in one game earlier in the year for the Bruins, but has spent most of the season in Providence. A fifth-round pick from 2011, O’Gara played four seasons at Yale University before making his NHL debut last year.
- The Bruins have also terminated Ryan White’s professional tryout, ending any chance he had of signing with the team. White will now try to find another opportunity to continue his career, after being unable to find an NHL contract this summer. A veteran of 313 games, White split last season between the Arizona Coyotes and Minnesota Wild, but has never been much more than a fourth-line depth player.
- Boston seems to be the only team making minor moves today, as they’ve also moved David Krejci to injured reserve while recalling Zane McIntyre on an emergency basis. Krejci hasn’t played since October 19th and isn’t expected to be back this week even if the IR stint has been backdated. Anton Khudobin’s availability is still up in the air, leading to the team needing McIntyre for insurance purposes. Tuukka Rask is still expected to make the start tonight against Minnesota.
- The Winnipeg Jets have activated Adam Lowry from injured reserve after several weeks without the 24-year old forwad. Lowry last played on October 12th and has suited up just four times in totals this season. An important part of their depth down the middle, the Jets nevertheless have gone one a successful run without Lowry. The team now sits at 7-3-3 and are looking like a potential playoff team in the Western Conference.
- The Ottawa Senators have recalled Nick Paul and Marcus Hogberg for their upcoming games in Sweden. Each team is allowed to carry an emergency goaltender on the trip in case of injury, and with Andrew Hammond traded to Colorado (ironically, the team they’ll face in Sweden) Hogberg is next up. It’ll be nice for the Swedish-born goaltender to be with the team in his home country, especially after spending most of this season in the ECHL.
