There's some action on the waiver wire, and Kent Hughes now has three interesting options to consider if he wants to claim one of the available players in front of him.
The Montreal Canadiens begin their long Western road trip tonight, with the first stop in Calgary.
It's expected to be a tough matchup, especially with several players sidelined for the Habs.
For example, defenseman Kaiden Guhle will be out for at least another four weeks.
The same goes for Patrik Laine, whose return is still being evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
Goaltender Jakub Dobes will be in net tonight as Montreal looks to extend its strong run of five wins in seven games.
Three names appear on waivers as the Habs travel to Calgary
While the Canadiens prepare for this matchup, three new players have been placed on waivers.
"Agozzino (Utahns), Copley (LA), Gatcomb (NYI) on waivers" - Elliotte Friedman
Copley is a 33-year-old goaltender with plenty of experience and solid performances in Los Angeles - perhaps less relevant for the Habs.
Gatcomb, 27, on the other hand, is a gritty center, very good defensively, who could strengthen the Rocket's depth.
As for Agozzino, a 35-year-old veteran, he remains a well-respected locker room leader in the American Hockey League.
I'm sure several teams are keeping a close eye on these roster moves, especially at this point in the season when injuries are piling up.
I believe Kent Hughes is certainly keeping a close watch on situations like this.
