The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired defenseman Brett Kulak from the Edmonton Oilers in a trade that involved goaltender Tristan Jarry and Stuart Skinner. Kulak’s experience could aid a team recently ending an eight-game losing streak, raising questions about whether to retain him or trade him before his contract expires. Meanwhile, San Jose Sharks’ Will Smith’s injury has allowed rookie Igor Chernyshov to shine, prompting discussions about his future in the NHL. Additionally, new Sabres GM Jarmo Kekäläinen is considering former Blue Jackets staff for his Buffalo team, including potential additions like Basil McRae and Ville Sirén.
