While the Vancouver Canucks gave up an important two points against the Montréal Canadiens last night, the Abbotsford Canucks were celebrating more than just their impressive 6–2 victory against the Bakersfield Condors. The go-ahead goal was scored by none other than Linus Karlsson who, with his 19th goal of the season, breaks the franchise record for goals scored with 66 in his career with Abbotsford.
The last time Petr Mrazek wore a Detroit Red Wings jersey to play in an NHL game was Feb. 18, 2018, when he made 31 saves on 34 shots in a 3–2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. A day later, he was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers for two draft picks. The first time came five years before that: Feb. 7, 2013, when Mraek made 26 saves to beat the Blues 5–1 in his NHL debut.
The Buffalo Sabres made one of the notable moves leading up to last Friday's NHL trade deadline, shipping center Dylan Cozens to the Ottawa Senators for center Josh Norris.
Unlike the Montreal Canadiens, the Toronto Maple Leafs didn’t stay quiet at the trade deadline; they made a deal with the Philadelphia Flyers to acquire center Scott Laughton. In return, they sent a 2027 first-round draft pick and 22-year-old winger Nikita Grebenkin.
