Kiprusoff's name had been tied to a potential deal to Toronto, but according to reports the 36-year-old netminder doesn't want to uproot his family, especially after just welcoming a new baby boy into the world, and have to settle somewhere else.

NY Rangers acquire Keith Yandle from ARZ

The New York Rangers have acquired Keith Yandle, Chris Summers and a 4th round pick from the Arizona Coyotes for prospect Anthony Duclair, John Moore, a first round pick in 2016 and a 2nd round pick in 2015.

This is a blockbuster deal and a huge acquisition for the Rangers. Yandle, 28, is a highly-regarded offensive defenseman who has spent his entire career with the Coyotes to this point. He has four goals, 41 points and a minus-32 rating on a bad Arizona team. He is on pace to hit the 50-point mark for the third time in his career. The Coyotes are believed to be retaining 50 percent of Yandle's salary. He has one year remaining on his contract after this season.

Flames place Mark Giordano on injured reserve

The Calgary Flames have placed Mark Giordano (upper body) on injured reserve.

This is a huge blow to Calgary's playoff chances as Giordano is having his best season as a pro. The 31-year-old has been a legitimate Norris trophy candidate this season. He has 11 goals, 48 points and a plus-13 rating while averaging over 25 minutes for the Flames.

Capitals acquire Curtis Glencross from Flames

The Washington Capitals have acquired Curtis Glencross from the Calgary Flames in exchange for a second and third round pick in 2015.

Glencross had to waive his no-trade clause to go to Washington. The 32-year-old has nine goals and 28 points in 53 games for Calgary this season. His 0.53 point-per-game average this year is his lowest since the 2009-10 season (0.49). The Capitals have more offensive talent than Calgary so it wouldn't be shocking if Glencross produces a little more frequently down the stretch.

Antoine Vermette not at practice on Sunday

Antoine Vermette will not practice with the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday.

The Blackhawks acquired Vermette from the Coyotes late Saturday night so he probably just needs some time to get everything settled in his new city. With Patrick Kane out for an extended period of time, Vermette should get ample opportunity to produce with his new team.

Connor McDavid white-hot of late

Connor McDavid has 15 points including seven goals in his last four games and is on a 24 game scoring streak.

The consensus number one pick for the June draft has 102 points in only 39 games this season and is now fourth in the OHL in scoring despite playing at least 16 games less than anyone ahead of him. Mitch Marner of the London Knights leads the way with 118 points but McDavid is far and away the class of the league.
