New Jersey has acquired Kurtis MacDermid from Colorado for a 2024 seventh-round pick and forward Zakhar Bardakov.

MacDermid's three-year tenure in Colorado is up after he was traded a week before the Trade Deadline to New Jersey for a 2024 seventh-round pick and Zakhar Bardakov on Friday. The 29-year-old hybrid bruiser has found himself the odd man out of Colorado's lineup more often than not this season but still has managed two goals, 12 SOG, 23 PIMs and a +3 plus/minus while averaging only 5:05 TOI per game.

Ullmark will start on Monday in Seattle.

Ullmark will tend the twine on Monday for a Bruins club that has uncharacteristically lost six of their last eight (2-2-4). Ullmark allowed three goals on 30 shots (.900 SV%) in his last outing, a 3-2 extra-time loss to the Calgary Flames. The Bruins are -141 road favourites against the Seattle Kraken on Monday despite being defeated by them 4-1 less than two weeks ago.
