Good morning, my name is Andrew Fantucchio. It’s Thursday, November 9, and here’s what’s happening around the NHL today.
The Minnesota Wild made a pair of trades on Wednesday.
First, the Wild dealt Calen Addison to the San Jose Sharks for Adam Raska and a 2026 fifth-round draft pick and then acquired Zach Bogosian from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round pick.
In theory, the two trades should supplement Minnesota defensively, as they’ve struggled early on this season in their own zone.
The Wild owns the NHL’s worst penalty-killing unit and is allowing an average of four goals per game.
The Boston Bruins will officially be without Charlie McAvoy as they take on the New York Islanders tonight as he serves the final game of his four-game suspension.
McAvoy lost his appeal case yesterday of the NHL’s decision to suspend him for hitting Florida Panthers defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson in the head on Oct. 30.
According to a report from the Seattle Times, Seattle Kraken forward Jordan Eberle was sent to the hospital after beign lacerated in the leg by a skate blade during the team’s practice on Wednesday.
The injury is being described as a “deep cut” by Kraken general manager Ron Francis near Eberle’s quad muscle.
As a result, the Kraken have called up their top prospect, Shane Wright, to take Eberle’s place.
