The Capitals have acquired Nick Jensen and a 2019 fifth-round pick from the Red Wings for Madison Bowey and a 2020 second-round pick.

Jensen was a fifth-round pick back in 2009 and was a late-bloomer. Jensen didn’t make his NHL debut until 2017, after 222 career AHL games, and never looked back. Jensen is a reliable two-way defenseman that can be leaned on to kill penalties. He will likely line-up next to Brooks Orpik/Christian Djoos in the third pairing.

The 25-year-old has gone 5-0-1 with a 1.81 GAA and .953 SV% on home-ice this season.

The Ducks recalled Troy Terry from San Diego (AHL).

Terry started the season with the Ducks but did not register a point in six games. The 21-year-old has played very well in San Diego, scoring 16 goals and 21 assists (37 points) in 32 games. He is expected to play for Jakob Silfverberg on Thursday and should see top-9 minutes.

Brossoit has been extremely impressive this season and comes into Tuesday’s game on a six-game personal winning streak, posting a 2.47 GAA, .930 SV% and one shutout over that span. Despite playing very well, Brossoit has the tough task of facing a Vegas team that has won eight of their last nine.

The Blues have sent Ville Husso to San Antonio (AHL).

Husso was recalled on Monday because Jake Allen was dealing with an injury, but it was not as serious as originally expected. Husso’s return to the AHL means that Allen will at least be available to backup on Thursday.
