The Oilers have re-signed Kailer Yamamoto to a one-year contract.
Yamamoto had a terrific 27-game stretch in 2020 but failed to match that production in his first full season in 2021. Yamamoto scored just eight goals and 13 assists (21 points) in 52 games last year, playing almost exclusively with Leon Draisaitl. The lack of production led to Yamamoto getting a one-year bridge deal at $1.175M to prove he can bounce back before the Oilers commit to him with big dollars on a longer-term deal.
The Blue Jackets have signed Andrew Peeke to a two-year contract extension worth $1.575 million ($787.5K AAV).
The Coyotes have signed Michael Carcone to a two-year, two-way contract.
The Flames have signed Nick DeSimone to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Coyotes have signed Liam O'Brien to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Jets have acquired Nate Schmidt from the Canucks for a 2022 third-round pick.
The Rangers have acquired Nick DeSimone and '22 4th round pick from the Golden Knights for Brett Howden.
DeSimone was sent to the Golden Knights as a part of the Mattias Janmark trade last April. The 26-year-old has spent his entire pro career in the AHL, finishing last season with no goals and 11 assists in 22 games. Look for him to open the 2021-22 season in the AHL.
The Blue Jackets have signed Kevin Stenlund to a one-year contract extension.

Line Change

Line Change
Schmidt will be scratched Saturday in Edmonton.
Line Change
Yamamoto will not play Wednesday in Montreal.
Crouse (lower-body) will not play on Friday.
Crouse suffered a lower-body injury on Wednesday and could miss an extended period of time. Crouse will be re-evaluated but it sounds like he'll miss the last few regular-season games.
Schmaltz (head) is expected to miss the final two games of the season.
Schmaltz was struck in the head by a puck in warmups on Saturday and has missed the last two games. Schmaltz did not travel to San Jose, so it looks like he'll miss the final two games of the 2021 season. The Coyotes are pretty much out of the playoff hunt, so we likely won't see Schmaltz until the 2021-22 season.
Line Change
Peeke will draw into the Blue Jackets lineup on Friday.
This will be Peeke's first NHL game since April 19th. Peeke has four assists in seven AHL games and three assists in nine NHL games in 2021. Overall, he has one goal and five assists in 31 career NHL games.
Schmaltz (upper-body) will not play Wednesday vs. the Kings.
