When Connor Zary left a game versus the Anaheim Ducks earlier in the month, many Calgary Flames fans feared that he would be out for the season. The 23-year-old was in a world of pain after going knee-on-knee with Ducks defenceman Drew Helleson,

Rory Kerins’ time with the Calgary Flames – at least for now – has come to an end. The Flames announced on Monday (Jan. 27) morning that he had been re-assigned to the Calgary Wranglers of the American Hockey League (AHL).

It wasn't an overly convincing win, but the Wild got the job done against one of the worst teams in the NHL on Sunday evening. They started hot, then held on and were able to avoid blowing a 3-0 lead in a 4-2 road victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Calgary Flames announced they have assigned forward Rory Kerins to their AHL affiliate Calgary Wranglers. The 22-year-old made his NHL debut on Jan. 13 against the Chicago Blackhawks and recorded two assists. He has four assists and is a +3 in five games with the Flames while averaging 12:14 of ice time per game.

The Minnesota Wild are struggling to regain their footing after losing five of their past six games ahead of their visit on Sunday to the Chicago Blackhawks.

This outing came with a twist. The Wild are the best road team in the NHL, yet the Wild’s one loss to the Blackhawks this season (in three games) came in a 2-1 loss at the United Center in November. The Wild won 4-2 in Chicago again in their final meeting of the season.

Clark Bishop made it a three-goal game 11 minutes, 53 seconds into the third period. Then the Wild (28-17-4) tried to make a push. Freddy Gaudreau scored a power-play goal 2 minutes, 22 seconds later to cut it back to two. While Kuzmenko scored his second of the night just 14 seconds later for the apparent dagger, it wasn't quite over.

Jones, 30, is in the third year of an eight-year, $76 million contract he signed in 2021. The deal includes a full no-move clause, meaning the defenseman would need to approve any potential trade.

Saad has been relegated to a bottom-six role in St. Louis, having been passed on the depth chart by former Oilers forward Dylan Holloway. He is coming off a 26-goal campaign with the Blues last season, and it still looks like he has the wheels to be an NHL player.

Brandon Saad will be placed on unconditional waivers by the St. Louis Blues on Thursday with the purpose of terminating his contract.

After clearing waivers Wednesday and being assigned to the AHL’s Springfield Thunderbirds, left winger Brandon Saad has elected to mutually terminate his contract with the St.
