It’s a bit of a light schedule for the NHL tonight, with just four games on. The news cycle remains busy, though, with the fallout from the Vancouver Canucks’ coaching change bleeding into today. There’s some other notable news from around hockey, though, and we’ll recap a list of those minor transactions right here.
- 38-year-old defenseman Ian White will be trying his hand at professional hockey once again. Despite not having suited up for an NHL game since 2012-13 with the Detroit Red Wings and not playing in the AHL since 2015, he’s signed an ECHL contract with the Norfolk Admirals. White didn’t play hockey at all between 2015 and 2021 but has been playing low-level hockey in the FPHL over the past two seasons. He’s got 19 points in 25 games with the Motor City Rockers this season and could now make his ECHL debut in the twilight of his career.
- A recently left-unsigned Edmonton Oilers prospect is on the move in the minors. Despite playing this season with their AHL affiliate in Bakersfield, the Edmonton Oilers did not sign 2020 sixth-round pick Filip Engaras out of college and let his rights expire. After playing the majority of the season with ECHL Fort Wayne, Bakersfield dealt Engaras to the Utica Comets today in exchange for fellow ECHL farmhand Garrett Van Wyhe.
