Thursday night hockey is set to be explosive in the NHL, with 11 different games on tap. Even after escaping Toronto, Nazem Kadri can’t seem to get away from the Boston Bruins as the new Colorado Avalanche center will welcome in Jake Debrusk and the rest tonight. The Maple Leafs will have their own issues as they try to contain the Tampa Bay Lightning who welcome back Brayden Point to the lineup tonight, while the San Jose Sharks try to finally get on the board in Chicago and record their first win of the season. As we wait for that action to start, all the minor moves will be kept track of right here.
- Another former top prospect is headed overseas, as Adam Tambellini has signed with MODO in Sweden. Tambellini was picked in the third round by the New York Rangers in 2013 but never got a chance to suit up in an NHL game. The 24-year old scored 32 points in 72 games last season with the Belleville Senators, but will try to re-establish himself in Sweden this season.
- Mark Arcobello has signed a three-year contract with Lugano of the Swiss NLA, after taking home the league championship in two of the last three seasons. Arcobello played 139 games in the NHL before heading overseas in 2016, and has been a force in Switzerland ever since. Interestingly though, Arcobello won’t actually start this deal with Lugano until the 2020-21 season.
- While Michael McCarron was assigned to the minor leagues immediately after clearing waivers, it took the Sharks a little while longer to send Jonny Brodzinski down. Still, the young forward will spend the next little while in the AHL with the San Jose Barracuda after being reassigned today.
