In need of a winger, the Vegas Golden Knights landed one Tuesday when they traded for Anthony Mantha with a 2024 second-round pick and a 2026 fourth-round pick going to the Washington Capitals, the teams announced.

Getting a top-six winger was thought to be a priority for the defending Stanley Cup champions only to become a reality on Monday. That's when they moved captain and left winger Mark Stone, who is out with an upper-body injury, to long-term injured reserve.

The Colorado Avalanche traded forward Kurtis MacDermid to the New Jersey Devils on Friday in exchange for a 2024 seventh-round draft pick and the rights to forward Zakhar Bardakov.

MacDermid, who turns 30 this month, has skated in 29 games for Colorado this season. He has scored two goals with 23 penalty minutes.

The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Anaheim Ducks defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin on Thursday night in a three-way trade that also involved the Carolina Hurricanes.

Anaheim received Toronto's 2025 third-round pick and retained 50% of Lyubushkin's salary. Carolina received a 2024 sixth-round pick to retain 50% of Lyubushkin's remaining salary. Hence, the Maple Leafs will have only $687,500 count against their salary cap for the veteran defenseman, leaving them with flexibility ahead of the March 8 NHL trade deadline.
