NHL Player News

Carlo was acquired by Toronto from Boston on Friday in exchange for Fraser Minten, a conditional 2026 first-round pick and a 2025 fourth-round pick, per NHL.com.

Carlo has a goal, nine points, 24 PIM, 64 hits and 119 blocks in 63 appearances with Boston in 2024-25. Although he doesn't contribute much offensively, Carlo should help the Maple Leafs out in their own end. He'll likely serve on the second or third pairing as a shutdown defenseman.

Jokiharju was acquired by Boston from Buffalo on Friday in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round pick.

Jokiharju has three goals, six points, 35 hits and 31 blocks in 42 appearances with Buffalo in 2024-25. Boston is missing Hampus Lindholm (kneecap) and Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) due to injury, and it's believed that Boston will soon trade Brandon Carlo to Toronto, so Jokiharju should get regular playing time for the rest of the season.

Andrae was summoned from AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday.

Andrae has a goal and six points in 24 outings with Philadelphia this season. He also has three goals and 16 points in 25 appearances with Lehigh Valley.

Mukhamadullin was recalled by the Sharks on Friday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Mukhamadullin was assigned to the minor-league club earlier Friday as a paper move to make him eligible for the AHL playoffs, but he'll rejoin the Sharks ahead of Saturday's home game against the Islanders. The 23-year-old has made 20 appearances for the Sharks this year, logging a goal, five assists, 26 blocked shots and 17 hits while averaging 16:18 of ice time.

Mitchell was sent to AHL Providence on Friday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.

Mitchell has made three appearances for Boston this season -- all of which have come in March -- and he's been held pointless with three blocked shots, a hit and a minus-2 rating while averaging 13:35 of ice time, including 1:03 on the power play. Friday's move will make him eligible to participate in the AHL playoffs, but it's possible that he rejoins Boston in the near future.

Dineen was returned to AHL Bakersfield on Friday.

Dineen has played in just one game for the Oilers this year in which he logged 14:56 of ice time while chipping in four shots, one block and a minus-1 rating. With the team bringing in Jake Walman at the deadline, Dineen will be hard-pressed to get into the lineup the rest of the season -- especially once Mattias Ekholm (undisclosed) and John Klingberg (undisclosed) are cleared to return.

Cholowski was traded to the Devils from the Islanders on Friday in exchange for Adam Beckman.

Cholowski has made 33 appearances for the Islanders this season, logging three goals, seven assists, 30 blocked shots and 10 PIM while averaging 12:48 of ice time. However, he's been in the AHL since Feb. 20 and could remain in the minors following Friday's trade.

Mukhamadullin was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Friday, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

This move keeps Mukhamadullin eligible to play in the AHL for the rest of the season. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 23-year-old recalled to the NHL before Saturday's game against the Islanders. Mukhamadullin has a goal, six points, 17 hits and 26 blocks in 20 appearances with the Sharks in 2024-25.

Ruhwedel was sent to AHL Hartford on Friday.

This might just be a paper transaction to keep him eligible for AHL service for the remainder of the season. Ruhwedel has an assist in five appearances with New York as well as three goals and 12 points in 36 outings with Hartford in 2024-25.

Head coach Craig Berube said Friday that Tanev (upper body) is "doubtful" for Saturday's game against the Avalanche, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Tanev has missed the last three games due to his upper-body injury, and there was initially hope that he'd be able to return to the lineup Saturday. However, he'll likely require at least one more game on the shelf, while his next opportunity to return will be Monday against Utah.
