Foligno was traded to Minnesota from Chicago on Friday for future considerations, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

Foligno will join his brother Marcus Foligno with the Wild. Foligno leaves Chicago with three goals, eight assists, 87 hits and 26 blocked shots across 37 contests this season. He should see a bottom-six role with the Wild.

Duehr was loaned to AHL Manitoba on Friday.

Duehr was called up by Winnipeg during the Olympic break, and he made three appearances with the Jets following the layoff. He was held without a point while recording 10 hits and two blocked shots, and he should have more consistent opportunities to contribute in the minors.

Phillips was reassigned to AHL Manitoba on Friday.

Phillips was recalled Thursday and saw 12:10 of ice time in a 4-1 win over Tampa Bay. Phillips has yet to pick up a point in three NHL games this season. The defenseman had five goals and 14 assists in 44 AHL games before his recall.

Rizzo has spent the season with ECHL Reading, tallying six goals and 16 assists in 29 games. He could report to AHL Providence along with Gendron.

Gendron and Massimo Rizzo were traded to the Bruins from the Flyers on Friday in exchange for Brett Harrison and Jackson Edward.

Gendron hasn't yet made his NHL debut, but he'll get a change of scenery in the AHL as part of a deal that exclusively involves minor leaguers. Across 47 appearances with Lehigh Valley this year, Gendron has recorded 10 goals, 12 assists, 44 PIM and a minus-10 rating.

Harrison and Jackson Edward were traded to the Flyers from the Bruins on Friday in exchange for Alexis Gendron and Massimo Rizzo.

Harrison will report to AHL Lehigh Valley. The 22-year-old was selected in the third round of the 2021 NHL Draft. He had eight goals and 17 points in 46 AHL games with Providence before the trade.

Hintz (illness) will return to action for Friday's game against Colorado, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Hintz missed the last four games while on injured reserve due to an illness, but he was trending toward a return ahead of Friday's matchup and has officially been given the green light to return. He recorded points in six of his eight appearances leading up to the Olympic break, logging a goal, seven assists, 11 hits, five blocked shots and four PIM while averaging 17:16 of ice time across that span.

Oettinger will defend the home cage versus Colorado on Friday, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

Oettinger has won eight straight games despite allowing 21 goals on 173 shots (.879 save percentage). Overall, he is 25-10-4 with a 2.67 GAA and an .898 save percentage across 39 starts. The Avalanche are six points ahead of Dallas in the Central Division standings with a game in hand, so this is an important contest for the Stars if they have any aspirations to win the Western Conference.

Myers (not injury related) will not be in the lineup to face the Avalanche on Friday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

Myers is expected to be in action when the Stars play the Blackhawks on Sunday. The blueliner is mired in a 21-game pointless streak during which he recorded 34 shots, 22 hits and 21 blocks while averaging 19:40 of ice time. Once ready to make his Dallas debut, Myers should slot into a top-four pairing for his new club.

Mueller was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Friday, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports.

Mueller is tied for the Abbotsford lead in points with 28 in 49 games this season. The 23-year-old played a pair of games with the Canucks last season, but has yet to appear in an NHL game this year.
