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 were once again busy on the shuffling front today. Per CapFriendly, Anthony Stolarz was recalled on an emergency basis with John Gibson dealing with a lower-body injury while Trevor Zegras, Sam Steel, and Andy Welinski were also recalled. To make room on the roster, David Backes, who cleared waivers yesterday, was sent to the taxi squad.
- With Antti Raanta being unavailable to play tonight due to a lower-body injury that has him listed as day-to-day, the Arizona Coyotes recalled Ivan Prosevtov from the taxi squad. Also being brought up to the active roster was Hudson Fasching with Michael Chaput being sent to the taxi squad.
- The Colorado Avalanche have recalled Greg Pateryn and Logan O’Connor from the taxi squad on an emergency basis, per CapFriendly. This has been a frequent pair of moves on recent game days with the duo likely to appear here tomorrow as being sent down.
- The San Jose Sharks have sent several players to the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. John Leonard, Fredrik Claesson, and Fredrik Handemark are all on the reserve group while Stefan Noesen has been sent to AHL San Jose.
North Division
- The Ottawa Senators have re-assigned Clark Bishop, Filip Gustavsson, and Matthew Peca to the team’s taxi squad while moving Kevin Mandolese back to the AHL. The Senators are off today after their overtime loss against the Canucks and will likely recall several of these players tomorrow.
- The Toronto Maple Leafs have moved Scott Sabourin and Joseph Woll back to the AHL while they enjoy a four-day break between games. Given that they waived Jimmy Vesey earlier today, he might be headed to the taxi squad to fill at least one of the vacant spots. Alex Galchenyuk and Timothy Liljegren were also recalled to the taxi squad with Calle Rosen going to the minors, per CapFriendly.
- The Calgary Flames have recalled Dominik Simon from the taxi squad while sending Derek Ryan and Oliver Kylington down, per CapFriendly. It’s a move they’ve made on non-game days recently and they will likely reverse it before Wednesday’s game against Edmonton.
- The Montreal Canadiens have loaned Alexander Romanov and Xavier Ouellet to the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. The two will likely be recalled for Wednesday’s contest against Winnipeg. Meanwhile, Hayden Verbeek was loaned back to AHL Laval.
- The Winnipeg Jets have loaned Logan Stanley back to the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. He will likely be recalled for tomorrow’s game against Montreal. Winnipeg also sent Mikhail Berdin to AHL Manitoba.
Central Division
- The Carolina Hurricanes have recalled Joey Keane and Beck Warm from the AHL, bringing them up to the NHL taxi squad. Warm, 21, was just signed by the team earlier this month after impressing early with the Chicago Wolves as an undrafted free agent signing. Now in six games, Warm has posted a .944 save percentage with the Wolves, winning five times. Alex Nedeljkovic, Jake Bean, and Morgan Geekie were all recalled from the taxi squad, per CapFriendly, with Jake Gardiner being sent down.
- The Dallas Stars have brought up Taylor Fedun from the taxi squad. The 32-year-old played in 27 regular season games last season plus 11 games in the bubble but has yet to see NHL action so far in 2020-21.
- The Detroit Red Wings have recalled Evgeny Svechnikov and Frans Nielsen from the taxi squad. Meanwhile, they also shuffled up their taxi squad goalies, sending Calvin Pickard to AHL Grand Rapids while recalling Kaden Fulcher to the taxi squad, per CapFriendly.
- The Nashville Predators have brought back Michael McCarron from the taxi squad while returning Alexandre Carrier and Ben Harpur to the taxi squad. McCarron has played in four games with Nashville so far this season.
- The Tampa Bay Lightning have recalled Ross Colton from the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. To stay cap-compliant, Spencer Martin was sent down to the taxi squad.
East Division
- The Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled Frederick Gaudreau from the taxi squad, moving John Marino to injured reserve to make room. Marino’s placement is retroactive to March 9, meaning he can come off whenever healthy. The team has also recalled Radim Zohorna to the taxi squad.
- The Buffalo Sabres have shuffled up their back end, recalling Brandon Davidson and Henri Jokiharju from the taxi squad. Going down to make room were Jacob Bryson and forward Rasmus Asplund.
- The Boston Bruins recalled Oskar Steen from the taxi squad to make his NHL debut tonight, relays Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic. The 23-year-old was a sixth-round pick back in 2016 and has eight points in 12 AHL games this season.
- The New York Islanders have promoted Oliver Wahlstrom, Kieffer Bellows, and Austin Czarnik from the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. All three have been frequently sent back and forth through the first half of the season.
- With the New York Rangers off tonight, they have made their usual long list of taxi squad assignments. Going down are Kaapo Kakko, Tarmo Reunanen, and Jack Johnson while Jonny Brodzinski was sent to the minors, per CapFriendly. They also swapped taxi squad goalies, sending Keith Kinkaid down while recalling Adam Huska.
- The Philadelphia Flyers have loaned Alex Lyon and Nate Prosser to the taxi squad, per CapFriendly. Prosser played just under 12 minutes on Monday against the Rangers while Lyon hasn’t seen any NHL action so far this season.
