The Blue Jackets have acquired Jake Bean from the Hurricanes for the No.44 overall pick.
The Blue Jackets shipped out Seth Jones but brought in two young defensemen in Adam Boqvist (from Chicago) and Bean to bolster their blueline. Bean was the No.13 overall pick in 2016 and had 12 points (1G / 11A) in 42 games in his first full NHL season in 2020-21. Bean will battle with Vladislav Gavrikov for playing time on the left-side behind Zach Werenski.
The Senators have signed Clark Bishop to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
Bishop split his 2021 season between the NHL and AHL, picking up three assists in 13 games with the Senators and five points (2G / 3A) in eight AHL games.
Line Change
Bahl will make his NHL debut on Thursday.

Weegar (upper-body) is expected to return to the Panthers lineup on Thursday.
Weegar missed the last two games vs. the Blue Jackets but is expected to play tonight vs. the Hurricanes. Weegar was back on the top pairing at the morning skate and is expected to replace Anton Stralman in the lineup.

Line Change
Bean will be a healthy scratch on Monday.
With Jake Gardiner back, the Hurricanes seem content to rotate their third pairing and tonight is Bean's turn to sit and refresh. Bean has one goal and 10 assists (11 points) in 30 games this season.

Backlund (lower-body) is on the ice for warmups; expected to play vs. the Canucks.
Backlund (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.
Backlund missed Monday's game in Vancouver with a lower-body injury but was on the ice for Wednesday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision. Backlund skated with Milan Lucic and Dillon Dube this morning, so he is a less appealing DFS option without Andrew Mangiapane on his wing.
Backlund (lower-body) is not on the ice for warmups; will not play in Vancouver.
Backlund (lower-body) is questionable to play on Monday.
Backlund suffered a lower-body injury early in Saturday's loss to the Canucks and is questionable to play on Monday. Head coach Geoff Ward called him "day-to-day" on Sunday, so monitor his status during the morning skate.
Line Change
Lomberg will get back into the Panthers lineup on Tuesday.
Lomberg has not played since the Panthers' season opener but will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday. It's unclear who Lomberg will replace but this is likely a response to Givani Smith's fight with Aaron Ekblad on Sunday.
Line Change
Hunt will draw into the Coyotes lineup on Tuesday.
Hunt, who will be making his season debut, will replace Lawson Crouse, who is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Hunt has 15 points (3G / 12A) in 63 career NHL games.
