Brunet scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Providence's 6-2 win over Cleveland on Sunday.

Brunet reached the 20-point mark with this performance, doing so in 36 games this season. He has earned six of those points over his last seven outings. Brunet is five points back of his total from 69 regular-season contests last season, and if he continues his strong play, the 22-year-old could play himself into a call-up.

Pettersson was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.

Pettersson will rejoin the NHL club after spending the past week in the minors. He's made 38 appearances for Vancouver this year, recording a goal, five assists, 64 hits, 42 blocked shots and 12 PIM while averaging 13:40 of ice time.

Mancini was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.

Mancini spent the past week with the NHL club and appeared in four games during that time, recording no points, seven blocked shots, a hit and a minus-3 rating while averaging 16:32 of ice time. He'll head back to the minors after Elias Pettersson was called up in a corresponding move.

Whitecloud, Abram Wiebe, a 2027 first-round pick and a conditional 2028 second-round pick were traded to the Flames from the Golden Knights on Sunday in exchange for Rasmus Andersson, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Whitecloud had been with the Golden Knights since signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in 2018, but he'll be on the move ahead of the Olympic break in early February. The 29-year-old has recorded two goals, five assists, 73 hits, 63 blocked shots and 20 PIM while averaging 18:46 of ice time over 47 appearances with Vegas this year, and he should have an opportunity to carve out a prominent role with the Flames over the second half of the season.

Andersson was traded to the Golden Knights from the Flames on Sunday in exchange for Zach Whitecloud, Abram Wiebe, a 2027 first-round pick and a conditional 2028 second-round pick, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Andersson drew plenty of trade interest from around the league recently, and he'll ultimately head to Vegas. The Flames will retain 50 percent of his contract, and although he's slated to become an unrestricted free agent following the 2025-26 campaign, he'll join the Golden Knights without a contract extension in place. The 29-year-old has recorded 10 goals, 20 assists, 90 blocked shots, 53 PIM and 29 blocked shots while averaging 2:37 of power-play ice time over 48 appearances with Calgary this year.

Hutson logged three assists, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Senators.

Hutson has seven helpers over his last six games, though he hasn't scored a goal in that span. One of his assists Saturday came on the power play. The 21-year-old blueliner has completely avoided a sophomore slump, totaling eight goals, 42 assists, 14 power-play points, 82 blocked shots, 80 shots on net and a plus-16 rating over 49 contests in his second NHL campaign.

Carrier scored a goal and blocked four shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Senators.

Carrier provided a clutch goal, tying the game with 3:19 left in the third period. The 29-year-old defenseman has three goals and three assists over his last eight outings. He won't keep up that scoring pace, but he is an important part of the Canadiens' defensive structure as the team's best shutdown blueliner. For the season, Carrier has contributed four goals, 11 assists, 35 shots on net, 113 blocked shots, 21 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 49 appearances.

Sweezey was recalled from AHL Providence on Sunday under emergency conditions, per Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site.

The Bruins needed an extra defenseman ahead of Tuesday's road matchup against Dallas after granting Henri Jokiharju (personal) non-roster status. Sweezey has one goal and 10 assists in 34 AHL appearances this season.

Jokiharju (personal) was designated as a non-roster player Sunday, Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site reports.

The Bruins recalled Billy Sweezey from AHL Providence on an emergency basis in a corresponding move. It's unclear when Jokiharju will be available to return from a family matter, which could lead to Vladislav Kolyachonok or Sweezey playing against Dallas on Tuesday.

Myers' point drought reached eight games in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

Myers has been scratched four times during the slump. He remains in a part-time role this season, competing for minutes on the third pairing, though the absences of Chris Tanev (groin) and Simon Benoit (upper body) have opened a door to more consistent usage for Myers lately. For the season, Myers has just two helpers, 30 shots on net, 39 hits, 30 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 25 appearances.
