Panarin-Powered Kings Seek Calgary Breakthrough

LA heads to Calgary to snap a three-game skid in a Tuesday showdown, with Kempe’s availability and a possible goalie start uncertain; Panarin has jump-started the Kings’ offense since joining, extending a six-game point streak and boosting the power play, while Joseph earned a return to the lineup after his strong Utah game. Doughty emphasizes finishing tight games as LA hunts crucial points with 12 games left, and Calgary carries momentum from a three-game win streak led by Morgan Frost, in a venue where the Kings have historically struggled (six straight regulation losses).

Weegar Traded to Utah Mammoth, Recasting Flames’ Defense with Prospects and Picks

The Calgary Flames moved defenseman MacKenzie Weegar to the Utah Mammoth in exchange for defenseman Olli Maatta, forward prospect Jonathan Castagna, and three 2026 second-round picks (owned by Utah, the Rangers and the Senators). Weegar waived his no-trade clause and is signed through 2030-31 with a $6.25M cap hit. He’s having a down year (21 points, -35 in 60 games) after a 47-point season in 2023-24, though his prior underlying metrics had been strong. The Mammoth aim to bolster their defense with a mix of left- and right-handed players; Castagna is a 6'2" center who has 14 goals and 18 assists in 29 games at Cornell this season, and Maatta’s role has diminished in Utah, with the 31-year-old under contract for two more seasons after 2025-26 at a $3.5M cap hit.

Weegar lands with Utah Mammoth in Flames deal for Maatta, Castagna, and picks

MacKenzie Weegar was traded from the Calgary Flames to the Utah Mammoth for defenseman Olli Maatta, forward prospect Jonathan Castagna, and three second-round picks in the 2026 NHL Draft (two of which came from the Rangers and Senators). Weegar, under an eight-year, $50 million contract, has 21 points in 60 games this season and is expected to join Utah in 4–10 days due to visa processing. Maatta has one assist in 22 games for the Mammoth this season, Castagna is a Cornell forward with 32 points in 29 games, and Calgary sits 12 points out of the West’s second wild-card spot while Utah holds the first wild-card. Utah GM Bill Armstrong called Weegar a veteran puck-mover and leader who will help the team take the next step.

Knights acquire Rasmus Andersson from Flames, bolstering blueline amid deadline push

Vegas acquired defenseman Rasmus Andersson from Calgary in exchange for Zach Whitecloud, a top-10 protected 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 conditional second-round pick (becoming a first if Vegas wins the Cup), and prospect Abram Wiebe, with Calgary retaining 50% of Andersson’s $4.55 million salary. Andersson, coming off a career-best 10 goals and 30 points in 48 games, fills a need for Vegas after Alex Pietrangelo’s season-ending injury, and while no extension was in place at the time of the trade, Vegas has a history of pursuing long-term deals after these moves.
