(NLL) - The Philadelphia Wings acquired Minnesota Swarm goaltender Evan Kirk and
transition player Ryan Hotaling from the Colorado Mammoth on Friday as part of a
three-team trade that sends forward Drew Westervelt to the Colorado Mammoth and
future draft picks to both Colorado and Minnesota.
Josh Freeman Jersey . Kirk comes to
Philadelphia after two seasons in Minnesota where he earned a 77% save rating
along with a 12.08 goals against average. In his two-year stint with the Swarm,
Kirk owned a 7-7 record and tallied 548 saves. The Orangeville, Ontario native
joins veteran goalie Brandon Miller to form a solid duo in net. Transition
player Hotaling joins the Wings in his fourth season from Colorado after
previously spending two seasons in Boston. The Syracuse native played in five
games for the Mammoth in 2013, scoring a goal and scooping 23 loose balls.
Hotaling was a member of the 2011 USA Indoor Team that took home Gold at the
World Games in Prague. "Drew is a quality player and an even better person, and
we will all miss him. However, we felt we needed to have more depth at the
goaltending position and had to give quality to get quality," said Wings head
coach Blane Harrison. "We wish Drew the best of luck on his new team and look
forward to the seeing the new Wings competing at camp later this fall." In
addition to the dealing of Westervelt, the Wings traded their 32nd pick in the
2013 draft to Colorado, while receiving the Mammoths first pick in 2015, as well
as their 12th and 18th picks in the upcoming draft. Philadelphia also gives up
their first pick in the 2017 draft to Minnesota.

talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good
things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors.PITTSBURGH,
Pa. - Marc-Andre Fleury skated to centre ice, eager to add an exclamation point
to his 28th victory of the season. The Pittsburgh goaltender was cut off,
though, by referee Kyle Rehman before he could reach Montreal counterpart
Peter Budaj. All Fleury could do was shrug his shoulders as Rehman guided him
out of harms way. "Oh well," Fleury said with a laugh. It was the only thing
that didnt go Fleurys way on a night the Penguins restored order to their
universe. Fleury stopped 23 shots, Jussi Jokinen picked up two goals and
Pittsburgh dominated the Canadiens 5-1. Evgeni Malkin added a goal and an
assist, Sidney Crosby picked up his 26th of the season and Taylor Pyatt added a
rare score as the Penguins rebounded from a dismal performance against lowly
Florida on Monday by overwhelming Montreal. "We definitely buckled down,
especially defensively," Crosby said. "Didnt give them a ton and when we did
(Fleury) made some great saves and we generated some good chances and
capitalized on them. It was a good game to respond." The Panthers snapped
Pittsburghs club-record 13-game home winning streak by outclassing the Eastern
Conference leaders on both ends of the ice to send the Penguins to their worst
home defeat in more than two years. Coach Dan Bylsma called it the byproduct of
a steady decline in play over the last three weeks and the rustiness that comes
with the return of regulars like James Neal and Paul Martin to the lineup.
Whatever the problems were, they disappeared 48 hours later. The Penguins were
crisp in the neutral zone, responsible on defence and efficient on offence. They
didnt pepper Price so much as they surgically picked him apart. All five goals
were either the byproduct of deft passing or nifty stickwork. Rene Bourque had
his seventh goal for the Canadiens but Montreal spent most of the night
fruitlessly chasing the Penguins. Carey Price stopped just 16 of 21 shots before
being pulled late in the second period as the Canadians fell for the fourth time
in six games. "Pittsburgh is the best team in the conference, and they were the
best team tonight," Montreal coach Michel Therrien said. "They played hard and
they deserved success." Jokinen, who tends to score in bunches, gave the
Penguins the early lead after being on the receiving end of a bit of brilliance
by Mallkin.
Jarvis Landry Jersey. The Russian star took a
pass from Matt Niskanen then darted around a flat-footed Montreal defender
before feeding Jokinen with a centring pass that Jokinen easily slid by a diving
Price 8:48 into the game. "You cant let Malkin carry the puck like that up the
ice," Bourque said. "It looked like he was playing a video game out there every
time he went around us." Pyatt doubled Pittsburghs advantage later in the
period, deflecting a Niskanen slapshot from the point to make it 2-0. After
failing to score in his first 27 games this season — 22 with the New York
Rangers and five with the Penguins — Pyatt has found the back of the net twice
in three games. Bourque briefly gave the Canadiens a lift by chipping the puck
by Fleury late in the first, his seventh goal of the season coming via replay
after his shot was initially waved off by officials. The momentum shift didnt
last. Jokinen fired a knuckling one-timer by Price 5:46 into the second period
to restore Pittsburghs two-goal lead and Crosby pushed his point total to an
NHL-high 69 by redirecting a pass from Chris Kunitz that made it 4-1. Malkin
ended Prices night by swooping in from the right circle and putting in his own
rebound. Price skated to the bench after being chased for the second time this
season in favour of Budaj, who stopped all 10 shots he faced. The saves will be
long forgotten. The way Budaj nodded across the rink to Fleury to start a fight
that never quite happened wont, though Budaj insisted it was nothing personal.
"I think there was just a scrum on the ice and there was built-up tension - you
know, we were losing 5-1," Budaj said. "It was a disappointing night for us. So
props to him that he wanted to do it. Thats good." NOTES: All six of Pittsburghs
defencemen had at least one assist. ... Penguins G Tomas Vokoun skated for about
45 minutes on his own Wednesday morning, the first tentative steps in his return
from blood clots in his pelvis. The 37-year-old Vokoun was taken off blood
thinners recently though it remains unclear when Vokoun will be cleared to
practice. ... Montreal scratched F George Parros and D Raphael Diaz and
Alexei Emelin. ... Pittsburgh scratched F Zach Sill and D Robert Bortuzzo. ...
Pittsburgh plays at the New York Islanders on Thursday while the Canadiens play
at Detroit on Friday.
