Flames place Jagr on waivers

TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie reports the  Calgary Flames have placed Czech legend Jaromir Jagr on waivers in what could pave the way for contract termination.

Jagr, 45, needs to play only 38 more games to overtake Gordie Howe for most games played in NHL history. However, Jagr reportedly wants to continue playing in Europe.

Playing in Europe would be the case if Jagr clears waivers. However, he may very well have played in his last NHL game.

Moulson placed on waivers by Sabres

Forward Matt Moulson was placed on waivers by the Buffalo Sabres on Monday. If he is unclaimed by noon ET on Tuesday, he will be assigned to Rochester of the American Hockey League.

Moulson, 34, has no points, 13 shots on goal and a minus-9 rating in 14 games this season. He's been scratched 13 times.

"We talked quite a bit throughout the last two weeks," Sabres coach Phil Housley told the Buffalo News. "Just the direction that our team's going, we have to make roster spots and try to push some other buttons and try to get some internal competition within our team."

Moulson is in the fourth season of a five-year, $25 million contract, with an average annual value of $5 million. 

The Sabres have lost four straight games (0-4-0) and are last in the NHL with 16 points (6-17-4).

"Just with the position we're in we've got to make some decisions about our team and our lineup," Housley said. "Sometimes they're tough decisions. I think we need to focus as a group on our own game as an individual, but certainly these are the tough ones that you have to make in this business."

A three-time 30-goal scorer, Moulson has 369 points (176 goals, 193 assists) in 650 games in 11 NHL seasons with the Los Angeles Kings, New York Islanders, Minnesota Wild and Sabres.

Ducks acquire Henrique, send Vatanen to Devils

Center Adam Henrique, forward Joe Blandisi and a third-round pick in the 2018 NHL Draft were acquired by the Anaheim Ducks in a trade with the New Jersey Devils on Thursday for defenseman Sami Vatanen and a conditional third-round draft pick.

Henrique, 27, has 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) in 24 games this season. He's second among Devils forwards with in average ice time at 18:15, including 2:54 per game on the penalty kill, also second among Devils forwards.

The Ducks are missing three centers because of injuries. Ryan Kesler has not played this season because of a hip injury; Ryan Getzlaf has missed 14 games because of facial injuries sustained Oct. 29, and could miss another month; and Rickard Rakell has been out the past three games because of an upper-body injury.

Anaheim next plays at the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday (7 p.m. ET; FS-O, PRIME, NHL.TV).

Taken by the Devils with a third-round pick (No. 82) in the 2008 NHL Draft, Henrique has 257 points (122 goals, 135 assists) in 455 games.

His biggest moments with the Devils came during the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs. He scored in double-overtime in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals to eliminate the Florida Panthers, and his overtime goal in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final eliminated the New York Rangers and put the Devils into the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2003.

Henrique is in the fifth season of a six-year contract with an average annual value of $4 million, according to CapFriendly.com, and can become an unrestricted free agent after the 2018-19 season. If the Ducks sign Henrique to a contract prior to making their third-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, that pick will be sent to the Devils. If the Ducks sign Henrique after using that selection, their third-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft will be sent to the Devils. If Henrique does not re-sign with the Ducks, no pick will be traded.

Blandisi, 23, has 14 points (three goals, 11 assists) in 19 games with Binghamton, the Devils' American Hockey League affiliate. He had nine points (three goals, six assists) in 27 games with the Devils last season.

Vatanen, 26, has four points (one goal, three assists) and a minus-6 rating in 15 games this season, and was third on the Ducks in average ice time at 21:06 per game. He missed the first seven games of the season recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. He could make his Devils debut at the Colorado Avalanche on Friday (9 p.m. ET; ALT, MSG+ 2, NHL.TV).

"In acquiring Sami, we bring on a right shot, top-four defenseman who can play in all situations," Devils general manager Ray Shero said. "This move also gives us contract certainty on the back end for the next two-plus years. When acquiring a defenseman like Vatanen, you have to give back quality assets or players in return. That is the case in this situation with Adam and Joe. Adam has been a key member of our organization for nearly 10 years since he was drafted. His contributions both on and off the ice will always be appreciated by our organization and fans. For Joe, this is a great opportunity with a quality organization like Anaheim and I am happy for him."

Selected by the Ducks in the fourth round (No. 106) of the 2009 NHL Draft, Vatanen has 126 points (33 goals, 93 assists) in 280 games. He's in the second season of a four-year contract with an average annual value of $4.875 million, according to CapFriendly.com.

Oilers place Talbot on injured reserve

Goaltender Cam Talbot was placed on injured reserve by the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday with an upper-body injury.

Pens recall goaltender DeSmith from AHL, could be due to Murray's injury

The Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled goaltender Casey DeSmith from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Jim Rutherford.

This obviously means that Pens starting goalteder Matt Murray may miss some time between the pipes. Murray was hurt in Pittsburgh's game last night against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Murray exited with 4:21 left in the second period after Philadelphia’s Jakub Voracek crashed into him during a breakaway. The 23-year-old two-time Cup winner managed to skate off under his own power before limping down the runway clearly favoring his right leg. Murray will be re-evaluated on Tuesday.

Since returning to WBS earlier this month, the 6-foot-1, 181-pound DeSmith had assumed the top goaltending chores, compiling a 9-2-1 record, 2.29 goals-against average and a .924 save percentage in 12 AHL appearances. He helped backstop the WBS Penguins to the top record in the AHL at the time of his recall.

DeSmith, 26, logged his first NHL action with the Penguins earlier this season. He made his NHL debut on October 29 in Winnipeg against the Jets.

Dumont, Paigin on waivers

Gabriel Dumont of the Tampa Bay Lightning was placed on waivers, and Ziyat Paigin of the Edmonton Oilers was placed on unconditional waivers on Monday.

NHL Insider Ellotte Freidman tweeted that he was curious about the movement of Paigin because Freidman read some positive things about Paigin in preseason. Freidman was given a reason forthe transaction; that Paigin "wasn't working out for a number of reasons on both sides."

As for Dumont, he has posted no goals or assists in seven games with the Lightning this season. He will likely go to Syracuse of the AHL if he clears.

Oilers get Mike Cammalleri from Kings for Jussi Jokinen

By GREG BEACHAM
Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Kings traded Mike Cammalleri to the Edmonton Oilers for Jussi Jokinen in a swap of veteran forwards on Tuesday night.

Cammalleri’s second career stint with the Kings lasted just 15 games. After signing a $1 million, one-year deal last summer to return to the club that drafted him in 2001, the 35-year-old veteran found himself stuck in a depth role early in the season, even sitting as a scratch for two games.

Cammalleri has three goals and four assists this season, his 15th NHL campaign. He has scored at least 19 goals in nine of those seasons.

“I don’t think he enjoyed the role that he was in, by any means,” said Kings general manager Rob Blake, who declined to say whether Cammalleri requested a trade. “I won’t tell you a lot about our conversation, but what I will tell you is we came to the conclusion that it wasn’t going the direction he wanted it to.”

The 34-year-old Jokinen has one assist in 14 games with Edmonton this season after signing a one-year deal as a free agent in July. The steady veteran is joining his seventh NHL franchise with the Kings, who expect to use him as a depth forward with faceoff skills and a solid two-way game.

“He’s been a very reliable player over his career, and I think that will bring a little stability to our lineup,” Blake said. “He can do a lot of different things for us.”

The Pacific Division-leading Kings are off to a strong start despite the injury absences of goal-scoring veteran Marian Gaborik and top scorer Jeff Carter, who will be out for several months while recovering from a cut on his leg.

Captain Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown are enjoying remarkable bounce-back offensive seasons while skating on Los Angeles’ top line along with speedy rookie Alex Iafallo, who surprised the team by winning an NHL roster spot in training camp and keeping it with steady play. Iafallo’s emergence contributed directly to Cammalleri’s reduced role, Blake said.

Iafallo and fellow youngster Adrian Kempe have secured regular roles while the Kings are off to one of the Western Conference’s best starts even without Carter and Gaborik, who is back in practice during his recovery from a knee injury. Blake said he is hopeful Gaborik will return to the Los Angeles lineup by early December.

Cammalleri is returning to Alberta after two earlier stints with the Calgary Flames. He spent the past three seasons with New Jersey.

Jokinen spent the last three seasons with the Florida Panthers. He has won two Olympic medals with Finland.

Coyotes trade Domingue to Lightning for McGinn, Leighton

Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Coyotes have traded goalie Louis Domingue to the Tampa Bay Lightning for forward Tye McGinn and goalie Michael Leighton.

The trade, announced on Tuesday, ends Domingue’s mixed tenure with the Coyotes.

Domingue played well at times as Mike Smtih’s backup last season, but struggled this season when new No. 1 goalie Antti Raanta suffered a pair of lower-body injuries. Domingue went 0-6 with a 4.33 goals-against average before Arizona acquired Scott Wedgewood in a trade with New Jersey.

McGinn has nine goals and eight assists in 89 career NHL games with three teams, including Arizona in 2014-15.

Leighton has appeared in 110 NHL games with four teams, going 37-43-14 with a 2.98 goals-against average.

Nashville sent the Avalanche a second-round pick in 2018, 19-year-old defenseman Samuel Girard, a second-round selection (No. 46) in the 2016 NHL Draft, and forward Vladislav Kamenev, a second-round choice (No. 42) in 2014.

Turris, whose five-year, $17.5 million contract expires after this season, signed a six-year, $36 million contract that will keep him with Nashville through the 2022-23 season.

Duchene will play his first two games with the Senators against the Avalanche in the 2017 SAP NHL Global Series. The Avalanche and Senators play Friday and Saturday at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden.

Duchene, 26, had 10 points (four goals, six assists) in 14 games with Colorado this season, including a goal and an assist in a 5-4 shootout win at the Philadelphia Flyers.

He has 320 points (136 goals, 184 assists) in 544 NHL games with the Senators and Phoenix Coyotes, who took him in the first round (No. 3) in 2007.

Girard, 19, was a second-round pick (47th overall) of the Nashville Predators in the 2016 NHL Draft. The Roberval, Quebec, native has notched three points (1g, 2a) in five games with the Predators this season, his first in professional hockey. A two-time QMJHL First All-Star Team selection (2015-16 & 2016-17), Girard accumulated 192 points (24g, 168a) in 190 career games with Shawinigan. The 5-foot-10, 162-pound blueliner led all QMJHL defensemen with 75 points (9g, 66a) in 2016-17, his 66 assists pacing all league skaters. He earned QMJHL Defenseman of the Year honors in 2015-16 where he put up 74 points (10g, 64a), which ranked first among league defensemen in points and assists.

Kamenev, 21, was a second-round selection (42nd overall) of the Predators in the 2014 NHL Draft and has spent the previous two campaigns with the Milwaukee Admirals. The Orsk, Russia, native has collected eight points (3g, 5a) in 10 games with the Admirals this season, ranking second on the team in points and assists. He totaled 51 points (21g, 30a) in 2016-17, finishing second on the team in points and third in both goals and assists. Internationally, Kamenev led Russia to a silver medal at the 2016 IIHF World Junior Championship. Serving as team captain, he also led the squad with five goals in seven games at the tournament while finishing tied for third with six points.

Bowers, 18, was Ottawa's first selection (first round, 28th overall) in the 2017 NHL Draft. A freshman at Boston University this season, he's registered six points (4g, 2a) in 10 games and is tied for second on the team in goals. The Halifax, Nova Scotia, native spent two campaigns (2015-17) with the Waterloo Black Hawks of the United States Hockey League, where he totaled 84 points (37g, 47a) in 116 career contests. The 6-foot-2, 186-pound center was named to the USHL Third All-Star Team in 2016-17 after earning All-Rookie Second Team honors the year before. Internationally, he represented Canada at the 2016 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament, recording a point (1g, 0a) in four games. He also captained Canada Black at the 2016 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.

Hammond, 29, has spent the 2017-18 season with the Belleville Senators and is 2-2-1-1 in seven games this season with a 2.21 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage. Signed by Ottawa as a free agent in 2013, Hammond has a 27-14-6 record in 55 career NHL games, posting a 2.31 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage, all with the Senators.
