It’s a quiet day on the NHL schedule with only two games scheduled, so the AHL transaction wire is equally silent. Still, there have been a couple of moves and as always we’ll keep track of any further ones right here.
Atlantic Division
- The Ottawa Senators have sent Filip Gustavsson to the AHL, as Matt Murray is expected to make the start tonight against the San Jose Sharks. Murray is still “the guy” according to head coach D.J. Smith, despite his struggles last season and the emergence of Gustavsson as an NHL option.
Metropolitan Division
- The Columbus Blue Jackets have recalled Gabriel Carlsson from the AHL, giving them another defensive option after Zach Werenski took a “maintenance day” and wasn’t at practice. Carlsson, 24, played in 14 games for the Blue Jackets last season and recorded four points.
Central Division
Pacific Division
- After clearing waivers, Nic Petan has been officially assigned to the Abbotsford Canucks. The 26-year-old will once again be forced to ply his trade in the minor leagues, where he has been a point-per-game player for some time.
