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 Los Angeles Kings have recalled top prospect Quinton Byfield to the taxi squad, along with Lias Andersson. Boko Imama has been returned to the AHL to make room.
- The St. Louis Blues have recalled Steven Santini from the taxi squad as they prepare for action tonight against the Avalanche. The team recently lost both Colton Parayko and Vince Dunn to injury, meaning Santini could be ready to make his Blues debut this evening.
- The Anaheim Ducks have recalled Trevor Zegras and Simon Benoit to the taxi squad, sending Hunter Drew and Maxim Golod to the AHL. Zegras has dominated since going back down to transition to center and should be back on the Ducks roster fairly soon.
North Division
- The Ottawa Senators have made several moves, including the recall of two goaltenders from the minor leagues. Ottawa can’t seem to keep their NHL netminders healthy, meaning Filip Gustavsson (active roster) and Kevin Mandolese (taxi squad) are both up from Belleville. To make room, Cody Goloubef and Logan Shaw have both been re-assigned to the AHL.
- The Vancouver Canucks have recalled Kole Lind from the taxi squad and Artus Silovs under emergency conditions. Silovs will serve as backup for Braden Holtby after Thatcher Demko suffered a lower-body injury at morning skate.
- The Calgary Flames have recalled Connor Mackey to the taxi squad, following Noah Hanifin‘s season-ending injury. Mackey, 24, is in his first professional season and has played three games for the Flames so far.
- The Edmonton Oilers have recalled Ryan McLeod from the taxi squad under emergency conditions, placing Zack Kassian on long-term injured reserve in the process. Kassian has been listed as week-to-week, but will have to miss at least ten games, meaning he could only return in time for the final game of the regular season.
Central Divison
- The Columbus Blue Jackets have recalled Matiss Kivlenieks to the taxi squad, while sending Josh Dunne and Daniil Tarasov to the AHL. Dunne, 22, has played in six games with the Blue Jackets since signing out of Clarkson University.
- The Detroit Red Wings have swapped practice goalies once again, sending Kaden Fulcher to the AHL and recalling Kevin Boyle to the taxi squad.
- The Florida Panthers have recalled Grigori Denisenko and Aleksi Heponiemi from the AHL and placed them on the taxi squad. Both young players have appeared in a few games for Florida this season, but given the team’s depth additions at the deadline, may not be able to crack the lineup down the stretch.
East Division
- The New Jersey Devils have sent Gilles Senn back to the AHL from their taxi squad. Senn, 25, hasn’t been very good for the Binghamton Devils this season, posting an .897 save percentage in 13 appearances.
