The NHL trade market sees a flurry of goalie activity after Connor Hellebuyck’s move to the New Jersey Devils. Analysts flag four netminders likely to change teams this season: Sam Montembeault (Montreal, pending free‑agent, minor injury), Jordan Binnington (St. Louis, $6 M salary, 10‑team no‑trade clause), Filip Gustavsson (Minnesota, returning from injury, possible package for a top‑line centre), and Darcy Kuemper (Los Angeles, $5.2 M cap hit, also on a 10‑team no‑trade list). Each is poised for a trade as clubs look to bolster rosters before the deadline.
The Colorado Avalanche enjoy a rare scheduling edge with two days off between each game as they face back‑to‑back opponents this week. Meanwhile, newly acquired goalie Connor Hellebuyck, traded from Winnipeg to the New Jersey Devils, is eyeing a rapid debut—potentially against the Avalanche in Denver on Wednesday. The Bruins continue their hot streak, rallying past the San Jose Sharks with four third‑period goals, while the Penguins snap a loss with an OT win over Nashville. Other league notes include the Flyers’ missed opportunity against Anaheim and the Red Wings’ defeat by Calgary.
Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman corrects his earlier claim that New Jersey defenseman Brenden Dillon blocked a trade using his no‑trade protection last season. On The FAN Hockey Show, Dillon told Friedman the report was false, and Friedman confirmed the correction while discussing the Hellebuyck trade. Dillon, in the final year of a three‑year, $12 million deal, posted three goals, 15 points and 103 blocked shots in 82 games last year. The mix‑up stemmed from a tweet that suggested Dillon vetoed a deal, which the Devils’ camp denies.
Toronto Maple Leafs stun the Edmonton Oilers 7‑2 on October 24, 2026, delivering a defensive masterclass that curtails Connor McDavid’s record‑chasing surge. Goalie Anthony Stolarz makes 30 saves, while defensemen Troy Stecher, Jake McCabe, Darren Raddysh and Morgan Rielly neutralize the McDavid‑Leon Draisaitl duo, limiting them to just two assists. Stecher scores the game‑winner, and Auston Matthews adds a second‑period goal and wins his key minutes against McDavid. The win extends Toronto’s streak to four games and underscores Jim Hiller’s reshaped blue‑line strategy despite injury woes.
The New Jersey Devils make a splash in the Metropolitan Division by acquiring elite goaltender Connor Hellebuyck from Winnipeg, bolstering a roster already packed with top prospects and first‑round picks. The trade puts the Devils alongside Ilya Sorokin, Logan Thompson and the sidelined Igor Shesterkin as the division’s goalie elite, and they ride a perfect 3‑0‑0 week. The recap also notes the Hurricanes’ 4‑0 shutout of St. Louis, the Rangers’ defensive woes, the Capitals battling illnesses, and other Metro teams’ recent results as the standings shift.
The Carolina Hurricanes' bid for three-time Vezina winner Connor Hellebuyck fell apart because they couldn't line up a third team to supply a forward the New York Jets wanted. According to Elliotte Friedman, the Jets demanded immediate roster help, but the Canes refused to part with stars Logan Stankoven, Seth Jarvis or Jackson Blake. Hurricanes scouts reached out to other clubs to acquire trade‑able forwards, hoping to flip them to New York, but the plan never materialized. Ultimately the Jets secured Dawson Mercer and Nick Bjugstad from the New Jersey Devils in their blockbuster deal, leaving the Hurricanes without Hellebuyck.

Connor Hellebuyck has been taken off the goalie trade market after his trade to the New Jersey Devils. Here are three netminders who could be next on the trade block.
After acquiring Connor Hellebuyck from Winnipeg, the New Jersey Devils have added Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin to his expanded trade list, according to insider Jeff Marek. While Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald wants to keep the win‑now momentum, insiders say New Jersey may lack the high‑value assets—top prospects and high‑round picks—needed for Detroit’s steep asking price. Detroit reportedly wants two elite prospects, an NHL‑ready top‑six forward, and premium draft capital, while other clubs like Minnesota, Carolina and Colorado also vie for Larkin. The trade’s feasibility hinges on whether the Devils can muster enough pieces after surrendering Dawson Mercer and a first‑round pick for Hellebuyck.

The LA Kings head to New Jersey on Oct. 24 seeking a third straight win and a .500 record on a road trip against the Devils. Coach Peter Laviolette’s lineups hinge on center Quinton Byfield’s health and goaltender Darcy Kuemper, who just posted a 41‑of‑43 save performance and moved into seventh‑most wins in franchise history. Defense will likely stay unchanged, with Cody Ceci sitting after recent success, while Brandt Clarke’s pairing remains a focus after his overtime winner. The Devils, meanwhile, have just traded for Connor Hellebuyck, leaving Dawson Mercer out of the lineup. Key stats: Artemi Panarin has eight points in his last five games at the Prudential Center.
