The Rangers have acquired Ryan Strome from the Oilers for Ryan Spooner.

Strome signed a two-year contract that carries a $3.1M AAV cap-hit. Strome has significantly better possession numbers than Spooner, posting a 53.5 CorsiFor% and +3.2 CF% rel with the Oilers this season. However, Strome has had a really difficult time producing offence, picking up just two points (1G / 1A) in 18 games this season.

Mrazek will start for the Hurricanes on Friday.

Mrazek allowed two goals on 20 shots in the Hurricanes 2-1 loss to the Islanders on Sunday. Mrazek struggled early in the season, but has played better as of late. The 26-year-old is 2-1-0 with a 1.97 GAA and .906 SV% in his last three starts. Tonight he faces an Arizona team that is riding an impressive four-game winning streak while outscoring their opponents 20-to-4.

The Blues have sent Ville Husso to San Antonio (AHL).

Husso was recalled on Monday because Jake Allen was dealing with an injury, but it was not as serious as originally expected. Husso’s return to the AHL means that Allen will at least be available to backup on Thursday.

Mrazek will start Friday vs. the Sharks.

Mrazek allowed one goal on 21 shots in the Hurricanes 3-1 win in Detroit on Monday. In his first five starts with the Hurricanes, Mrazek has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.65 GAA and .888 SV%. Tonight he faces a Sharks team that is second in the NHL in shots per game (38.1) and tied for ninth in goals per game (3.44).

Mrazek will start Monday in Detroit.

Mrazek allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Hurricanes loss in Tampa Bay last Tuesday. Mrazek’s Hurricanes career has gotten off to a rocky start, posting a 3.07 GAA and .874 SV% in four starts. Tonight he will face his former team in Detroit. Mrazek is a risky option on most nights, but the Red Wings are averaging just 2.38 GF/PG right now and he should be motivated to get the best of them.

The Ducks have sent Troy Terry to San Diego (AHL).

Terry was given a great chance to play on the Ducks top line to start the season, but has not recorded a point in six games and has recently moved down the lineup. He heads to San Diego where he figures to get his offensive game going and likely return to Anaheim shortly.

Mrazek will start Tuesday in Tampa Bay.

Mrazek allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Hurricanes loss in Winnipeg on Sunday. It was Mrazek’s best start in a Carolina jersey and tonight he will make his fourth appearance of the season. Mrazek has a 3.05 GAA and .870 SV% so far and is a risky start against a Lightning team.

Mrazek will start Sunday vs. the Rangers.

Mrazek allowed two goals on 20 shots in the Hurricanes overtime loss to the Islanders on Thursday. Mrazek was given the Hurricanes’ second game off, but will draw back back between the pipes this afternoon vs. the Rangers. New York has a thin roster but Mrazek is always a risky option.

Mrazek will start Thursday against the Islanders.

Mrazek enjoyed a breakout season during the 2016 season, but has tied for the league’s worst qualified SV% (.901) in 89 games since. With Scott Darling out to start the regular season, Mrazek will get a shot as the Hurricanes’ No.1 right away. He will be playing behind one of the best possession teams in hockey, so he should see less shots than he became accustom to in Detroit.

The Hurricanes have signed Petr Mrazek to a one-year deal worth $1.5M.

Mrazek looked like the goalie of the future in Detroit during the 2016 season, when he was 27-16-6 with a 2.33 GAA and .921 SV%. In the two seasons since, Mrazek is tied with the second-worst SV% (.901) among qualified starters. The Flyers elected not to qualify the 26-year-old, so he lands in Carolina where he will battle with Scott Darling for playing time in the crease.

The Panthers have signed Frank Vatrano to a one-year deal worth $925K.

Vatrano split his 2018 season between the Bruins and Panthers. The 23-year-old had eight points (5G / 3A) in 16 games with Florida, finishing the year with 10 points (7G / 3A) in 41 games. Vatrano seemed to have found a nice home in Florida and should be a bottom-6 winger with them to start 2019.
