The Blue Jackets and Jets have completed a blockbuster trade that will see two of the NHL’s brightest young stars change cities.
Columbus has traded their sulking first-line center, Pierre-Luc Dubois, and a third-round pick to the Winnipeg Jets for Patrik Laine and Jack Roslovic.
Darren Dreger was the first to report the news.
The NHL’s seven Central Division teams shared preview images of their upcoming Reverse Retro jerseys on Saturday. The release follows the Metropolitan Division ond Pacific Division doings so in the days prior.
The photos confirm that the Colorado Avalanche will rock Quebec Nordiques jerseys for the first time in franchise history while the Minnesota Wild seem poised to honor the Minnesota North Stars in theirs. The detail shots of the new sweaters comes after the NHL and Adidas released an animated video showing which year each jersey was inspired by last week.

Four goaltenders have inked new deals with their current NHL teams over the last 24 hours.
With only six days left before the official start of free agency, several netminders have made their decisions now with the NHL’s goalie market unusually deep this offseason. The NHL Draft, which usually inspires several trades every year, begins on Tuesday, October 6, while free agency opens on October 9.
It’s been a night of iffy hits and injuries in the NHL. Earlier, Toronto’s Jake Muzzin was stretchered off the ice after taking a suspect cross-check from Pierre-Luc Dubois. Later, Winnipeg’s Mathieu Perreault left the Jets-Flames game after taking an iffy hit into the boards from Calgary forward Sam Bennett.

The Washington Capitals put forth an unremarkable effort in their road loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday.
Dmitri Kulikov scored the 35th goal of his 11-year career in the first period, a slapshot from the point that Ilya Samsonov couldn’t see. After a scoreless second period, Kyle Connor snapped a shot from the slot to make it 2-0 in the third. Sheifele got an empty-netter, and then it was over.
Caps lose. Shutout.

The Washington Capitals have hit the road and first stopped in Winnipeg to play the Jets again. Hopefully this time the Capitals can hold on to the lead and get the two points during regulation. I know this isn’t about me, but I just started a new job on Monday and I am exhausted, so I would appreciate a winning end on the earlier side.
Puck drop is at 8 PM and Julia will meet you back here for the recap!

The Washington Capitals hosted a pregame ceremony honoring Alex Ovechkin scoring 700 career goals Tuesday and it appears Capitals fans weren’t the only ones in awe of Ovechkin’s latest milestone.
According to fans watching pregame, the Winnipeg Jets, who were the Capitals’ opponents that night, kept stacks of commemorative warmup pucks as souvenirs. The pucks featured the Ovechkin 700 logo that was also printed on commemorative towels the Capitals gave out to every fan in attendance.
