Veteran NHLers skating on thin ice?
A couple of deals at the NHL trading deadline:
The Los Angeles Kings picked up center Jeff Halpern from the Tampa Bay Lightning. Halpern, 33, has appeared in 55 games this season, with nine goals and eight assists. The Kings are 38-20-4 in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference.
Returning to the NHL is 40-year-old Matthieu Schneider, whom the Vancouver Canucks had demoted to the Manitoba Moose of the AHL late last year. He’ll now be skating for the Phoenix Coyotes (32-27-5, third place in the Western Conference/Pacific Division).
Schnieder had been battling injuries and the Canucks coaching staff. He had two goals and three assists in just 17 games, the last coming on Dec. 16.
The Coyotes are the tenth NHL team for Schnedier in 21 seasons. He spent the first half of his career with Montreal.
Thanks again to Ari for the NHL nod.
