Dallas recalled Capobianco ahead of their two-game stint in Finland as part of the NHL Global Series, but he did not draw into the lineup and has been sent back down to the Texas Stars (AHL). The 27-year-old Capobianco has 73 games of NHL experience but has primarily been an AHL player. Last season with the Manitoba Moose (AHL), Capobianco had 54 points (12G / 42A) in 69 games.

In his first season with the Avalanche, Kovalenko has shown glimpses of the talent that made him an offensive standout with Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo (KHL), but limited deployment has likely stunted the opportunity for true success.

Last season with Abbotsford (AHL), Bains was an offensive stalwart, producing 55 points (16G / 39A) in 59 games, but the 23-year-old has played exclusively at the NHL level this season.
Brannstrom has been solid in Vancouver this season, averaging 14:15 time-on-ice from the blue line, tallying a point (0G / 1A) and a +3 plus/minus. That said, he continues to be a part of paper transactions, sending him back and forth from Abbotsford (AHL) due to salary cap implications.
