The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed forwards Justin Brazeau and defensemen Parker Wotherspoon and Caleb Jones to two-year NHL contracts, with details on their career backgrounds and stats.
The Boston Bruins made several moves ahead of the NHL trade deadline, acquiring Pat Maroon from Minnesota in exchange for Luke Toporowski and a conditional sixth-round pick, adding defenseman Andrew Peeke from Columbus in exchange for Jakub Zboril and a 2027 third-round pick, and signing blue liner Parker Wotherspoon to a one-year contract extension. The team also announced that Derek Forbort will be placed on LTIR and likely miss the remainder of the season due to surgery. Despite a quieter deadline, Bruins GM Don Sweeney believes the team is in a good spot and is pleased with the response of the team since a recent loss.
The Boston Bruins have placed defenseman Charlie McAvoy and forward Pavel Zacha on injured reserve and have recalled forward Patrick Brown and defenseman Parker Wotherspoon from Providence on an emergency basis. McAvoy has recorded 17 points in 21 games this season, while Zacha has tallied 19 points in 26 games. Brown has appeared in eight games with Boston this season, while Wotherspoon has played in three.
