spots Michael Hutchinson Jersey Womens , the Columbus Blue Jackets and Dallas Stars didn’t wait for trade-deadline day to make some significant additions.The Blue Jackets made their second trade in two days with the Ottawa Senators by acquiring forward Ryan Dzingel. Also Saturday, the Dallas Stars got winger Mats Zuccarello from the New York Rangers and defenseman Ben Lovejoy from the New Jersey Devils.Columbus is the most aggressive team so far in the trade market after many expected general manager Jarmo Kekalainen to trade pending free agent winger Artemi Panarin and maybe even goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky before the deadline Monday afternoon. Instead, he has seemingly gone all-in on the Blue Jackets winning their first playoff series in franchise history and a long run this spring.After sending two prospects, a first-round pick and a conditional first to Ottawa for center Matt Duchene on Friday, the Blue Jackets gave up winger Anthony Duclair and second-round picks in 2020 and 2021 for Dzingel, who like Duchene, Panarin and Bobrovsky can be a free agent this summer.“He is a very good player and goal scorer in the National Hockey League and a quality person who we believe will be a great fit with our group,” Kekalainen said.Columbus is four points back of first place in the Metropolitan Division but is in a group of four teams for three spots that are separated by just two points. Kekalainen has said he would only trade Panarin if he gets his desired return for his leading scorer and now is more likely to continue adding than subtract from his group.There’s no doubt the Stars are buyers at the deadline as they look to get back in the playoffs after missing last season. Dallas sent a conditional 2019 second-round pick and conditional 2020 third-round pick — which each can become a first-rounder — to the Rangers for Zuccarello hours after getting Lovejoy for a 2019 third-rounder and defenseman Connor Carrick.Stars GM Jim Nill called Zuccarello a “legitimate top-six forward” with speed, skill and grit and Lovejoy a “top-end penalty-killing defenseman” who brings a mix of physicality and mobility.“(Zuccarello) will enhance our team in a number of ways http://www.officialdevils.com/authentic-adidas-miles-wood-jersey , whether it is at even strength, on the power play or in the shootout,” Nill said. “We strongly believe in what we have in our dressing room and we clearly wanted to support that group by adding a dynamic player like Mats.”Much like Columbus would owe Ottawa another first-round pick if it re-signs Duchene, Dallas’ conditional third-rounder in 2020 becomes a first if Zuccarello re-ups with Dallas.The Rangers and Senators are in selling mode and could pawn off more parts before the deadline. Ottawa is keeping winger Mark Stone out of its lineup to safeguard him for a trade, and New York is doing the same with forward Kevin Hayes and defenseman Adam McQuaid.The Senators are in full rebuild mode after trading defenseman Erik Karlsson and forward Mike Hoffman last offseason and could have up to 16 top-three-round picks over the next three drafts.“We’re pleased with the futures we’ve received in (the Dzingel) deal,” Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said. “The two second-round picks add to the significant depth of quality selections we’ll have available to us in the next three drafts to fuel our rebuild.”After trading Lovejoy, the Devils may not be done dealing with winger Marcus Johansson attracting interest as a rental player. SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) Connor McDavid kept the Edmonton Oilers on a roll on Saturday.McDavid had a goal and two assists in the third period and the Oilers rallied for a 4-2 victory over the Florida Panthers.”It helps when you score early in the third. In today’s day and age, I feel if you have a one-goal lead you just try to hold on to it as long as you can Nico Hischier Jersey ,” said McDavid, who scored on the first shift of the third period.He also assisted on goals by Adam Larsson and Ty Rattie as Edmonton scored three times in the final period.”Fortunately for us, we were able to get one quick and get another one, and then we were able to hold on to the lead,” said McDavid, who has 34 goals and 55 assists.Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored for the Oilers, who are 4-1-1 in their past six games.Goalie Cam Talbot made 40 saves for Edmonton.”Special teams have been better. We’ve won games on the power play. The penalty kill again tonight is evident. I think (Talbot) has settled in. I’ve used the word he’s a calming influence,” said Edmonton coach Todd McLellan, whose club was 6 for 6 killing penalties.Edmonton entered the game last in the NHL on the penalty kill.Frank Vatrano and Vincent Trocheck scored for Florida.Roberto Luongo made 32 saves for the Panthers Dan Hamhuis Jersey Womens , who lost for the first time this season when leading after two periods (23-1).”Our power play was the difference tonight. We had many chances to go up 3-1 and we didn’t. When you let teams stick around like that, that’s what happens,” Florida coach Bob Boughner said.With Edmonton trailing 2-1, McDavid scored his 34th on a shot from the right circle 38 seconds into the third period, and Larsson’s fourth of the season at 6:13 gave Edmonton the 3-2 lead.Rattie added an empty-netter with 50 seconds left for his first goal of the season.”The last two games is not good. I lost both games. When that happens, you don’t feel too good about yourself,” Luongo said.Vatrano scored his fourth goal at 8:02 of the second when Edmonton left winger Drake Caggiula’s pass in the offensive zone out to Oscar Klefbom bounced past the defenseman, sending it slowly into the defensive end.Vatrano outraced Talbot – who skated about 45 feet out of the net – gathered it, moved left of the diving goalie and scored into the empty net.It was his second goal in his fourth game for the Panthers since being traded to Florida by Boston on Feb. 22.With Edmonton killing Milan Lucic’s roughing penalty Youth Pavel Zacha Jersey , Nugent-Hopkins took a pass from Leon Draisaitl and tied the game 1-1 with his 20th goal at 11:09. The goal was the third in four games for Nugent-Hopkins.The Panthers entered the game 19th overall on the power play. Over their previous 16 games, they were 17 of 54, first in the NHL.”First, we didn’t start with the puck. We lost a lot of power-play draws. We spent 30 seconds after every power play chasing it down the ice and trying to get set up again,” Boughner said.”Our entries weren’t very good, and when we did get in the zone, I didn’t think our execution was good. One or two passes and then we lost control of it and are chasing the puck down to our own end.”Trocheck gave the Panthers a 2-1 lead at 15:54 when he finished a 3-on-2 break on a pass from Derek MacKenzie, scoring his career-high 28th goal from the left circle by beating Talbot on the blocker side.NOTES: Edmonton scratched left wingers Michael Cammalleri and Pontus Aberg and D Yohann Auvitu.
