A former Calgary Flame draftee was recently placed on the Injured Reserve.
It was reported by Mollie Walker of the New York Post that New York Rangers defenceman Adam Fox is going on the Injured List due to an upper-body injury, but will likely return for the Rangers’ stretch run.
The right-shot defenceman is in his sixth season in the National Hockey League, scoring five goals and 48 points in 58 games this season. He’s coming off a 17-goal, 70-point season which was his third consecutive season with 70+ points. In 2020-21, the defenceman won his first and only James Norris Trophy.
Fox was originally selected by the Flames in the third round of the 2016 draft. However, they traded him to the Carolina Hurricanes in a package that included Dougie Hamilton for Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifin. The Hurricanes also ended up trading him, this time to the Rangers where he eventually signed his entry-level contract.

Predators acquired Jesse Ylonen from the Lightning for Anthony Angello

Speaking of trades, the Nashville Predators traded Anthony Angello to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Jesse Ylonen.
Ylonen is the more experienced of the two American Hockey League players, scoring 12 goals and 29 points in 111 NHL games, all with the Montréal Canadiens. Selected in the second round by the Canadiens in the 2018 draft, the Finn who was born in Scottsdale, Arizona, scored a career-high six goals and 16 points in 37 games with the Canadiens in 2022-23. He followed that up with a four-goal, eight-point season in 59 games last season.
So far this season, Ylonen has exclusively played in the AHL where he has eight goals and 25 points in 47 games.
Angello was selected in the fifth round of the 2014 draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins, making his NHL debut with the team in 2019-20 where he scored a goal in eight games. The right-shot centre’s best season came in 2020-21, scoring two goals and four points in 19 games. Angello’s last NHL action was in 2021-22 and he has seven goals and 14 points in 41 AHL games this season.

Oilers re-claim Travis Dermott off waivers

The Edmonton Oilers bolstered their left-shot defenceman depth on Wednesday, re-claiming Travis Dermott off waivers from the Minnesota Wild. 
Dermott signed a professional tryout with the Oilers before the beginning of the season, making the team to begin the season. He played 10 games with the Oilers and was held pointless before being claimed by the Minnesota Wild off waivers. In nine games with the Central Division team, he was held pointless before the Oilers re-claimed him and sent him to their American Hockey League team.
For his career, Dermott has played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks, and Arizona Coyotes, with his career-high of four goals and 17 points coming in 2018-19 with the Maple Leafs.
