Carolina announced early on Friday, Finnish time, that it had acquired the Pittsburgh Penguins’ top forward and playoff champion Jake Guentzel.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen returned after four months between the posts, when the Hurricanes defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4-1 at home in hockey in the NHL.
Andersen had not played since early November, when he was diagnosed with a blood clot. After the match, the crowd and Andersen’s teammates applauded the Danish goalkeeper, who saved 24 shots.
– It was rough. Lots of emotions. I appreciate the support I received during these four months. It’s been special. Thank you very much, Andersen, who was chosen as the first star of the match, said in the interview after the match.
From the Finns of Carolina, which is fourth in the Eastern Conference Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teräväinen they both grabbed an assist from the match. Montreal is third last in the same conference.
Carolina’s game moves at the transfer limit
Before the Montreal game, Carolina benched Andersen’s teammate and fellow goaltender Antti Raannan on the transfer list together with a defender Tony DeAngelo and the attacker By Brendan Lemieux with the deadline for player transfers expiring on Friday.

The 34-year-old Raanta was on the transfer list for the second time this season. The last time he was there was in December and played a couple of games in the AHL. The Finnish defender, who is playing a broken season, has played 24 NHL games this season with a save percentage of 87.2.

Carolina also gets a defenseman in the trade Ty Smith’s. Pittsburgh, on the other hand, gets from Carolina by Michael Bunting and Vasili Ponomarovin and the one playing in Kärp Ville Koivunen and one who wants the university series Cruz Lucius player rights.
The 20-year-old Koivunen is the Hurricanes’ second-round pick three years ago. The forward has recorded 21+34=55 performances in 57 matches in the league this season.

Erik Haula completed the last goal of the game as the Blues played without a goalkeeper. Haula’s goal was the player’s 12th and 29th power point of the season.
The team is 11th in the Eastern Conference. St. Louis is also in the same position in the Western Conference.
