7:54 p.m. ET: The Chicago Blackhawks have reacquired defenseman Johnny Oduya, reports ESPN.com's Scott Burnside -- sending a conditional fourth-round draft pick and prospect Mark McNeill, 24, to the Dallas Stars for the 35-year-old Oduya, who won Stanley Cups with Chicago in 2013 and 2015. Oduya is coming off an ankle injury that cost him 15 games. He has appeared in 37 games this season. The Stars will retain half of the remaining portion of Oduya's $3.75 million salary. "He's in excellent condition," one NHL source told ESPN.com's Craig Custance of Oduya. "Really takes care of himself. He's got something left."

3:02 p.m. ET: It hasn't been exactly a banner season for veteran goalie Jaroslav Halak, who was forced to endure a three-goaltender system with the New York Islanders before being waived and sent to the minors in January. Yet the 31-year-old, who starred for Team Europe at the World Cup of Hockey, has been excellent in the AHL. The Edmonton Oilers are among the teams interested in Halak, according to ESPN.com's Craig Custance. Halak comes with salary-cap baggage -- he's owed $5 million in real money next season, with a $4.5 million cap hit -- but it seems likely that the Isles would be willing to eat some of that if a team came calling.

1:38 p.m. ET: Arizona Coyotes captain Shane Doan has not waived his no-trade clause, ESPN.com's Joe McDonald reported. The 40-year-old, fourth-line winger, who has been with the same organization for 22 seasons, said it has been frustrating to see teammates such as Martin Hanzal and Ryan White traded away, but he maintained that he would waive his no-trade clause only if the deal were a perfect fit for both sides.

1:29 p.m. ET: The Ottawa Senators have acquired pending unrestricted free-agent forward Viktor Stalberg from the Carolina Hurricanes for a 2017 third-round pick, a source told ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun. The Senators added some forward depth by bringing in the veteran winger, ESPN.com's Scott Burnside said, but have modest expectations (at best) for the still-speedy 31-year-old. Stalberg has just two goals in 43 career playoff games and is now with his fifth NHL team since 2013.

12:31 p.m. ET: The New York Rangers have acquired the defenseman they were seeking before the deadline, getting pending unrestricted free agent Brendan Smith from the Detroit Red Wings, according to sources. In return, the Wings will get a second-round draft pick and a third-round selection. Smith, 28, a former 2007 first-round pick, was the second-best rental defenseman on the market behind Kevin Shattenkirk, said Craig Custance, but he can be inconsistent. "He's got everything," an NHL scout said of Smith. "He tries hard. But if something bad is going to happen, it seems to happen to him."

11:24 a.m. ET: The Chicago Blackhawks have signed defenseman Michal Rozsival and forward Jordin Tootoo to one-year extensions. Rozsival will earn $650,000 next season, and Tootoo will make $700,000. But the real news, Pierre LeBrun said, is that the signings help Chicago fulfill its expansion draft-exposure requirements. Each NHL team must expose at least two forwards, one defenseman and one goalie who meet the criteria spelled out by the league.

12:24 a.m. ET: The New York Islanders welcomed back to practice three regulars who could be the only additions the team makes before the trade deadline. Cal Clutterbuck, Shane Prince and Travis Hamonic took part in the Islanders' vigorous, 75-minute workout. Sources told Newsday's Arthur Staple that Islanders GM Garth Snow is not shopping for players who are pending free agents. Snow would prefer to find players New York can keep beyond this season, such as Colorado Avalanche center Matt Duchene or Edmonton Oilers wing Jordan Eberle. But those deals would require Snow to hand over prospects and a player or two off the roster, and coach Doug Weight believes the pending returns of his three injured players -- as well as Casey Cizikas, who might be able to return earlier than the three weeks remaining on his month prognosis for a suspected broken hand -- could add just as much as a player brought in via trade.

12:14 a.m. ET: The Pittsburgh Penguins' roster will not be gutted between now and the NHL trade deadline at 3 p.m. Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Dave Molinari reported. Penguins GM Jim Rutherford is trying to fortify his lineup for a title defense -- not tear it down as part of a major rebuild. But goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, who has been supplanted as Pittsburgh's No. 1 netminder by Matt Murray, is convinced that he can be an effective No. 1 goalie in this league and thus has been the subject of trade speculation. Fleury declined to say Monday whether he has asked Rutherford to trade him because "our conversations are personal."

9:57 p.m. ET: The Washington Capitals acquired one of the top players available on the trade market in Kevin Shattenkirk. The St. Louis Blues get forward Zach Sanford, a 2017 first-round draft pick and a conditional future second-round pick in return. The Blues also retain 39 percent of the remaining portion of Shattenkirk's $5.2 million salary for this season, sources told ESPN. In a separate deal, the Blues acquired forward Brad Malone from the Capitals for goalie Pheonix Copley.

9:43 p.m. ET: The Ottawa Senators are gearing up for a postseason push, acquiring veteran forward Alex Burrows from the Vancouver Canucks for prospect Jonathan Dahlen. Burrows, after waiving his no-trade clause, agreed to a two-year, $5 million extension with the Senators, according to multiple reports.

4:40 p.m. ET: The Montreal Canadiens added defensive depth with Jordie Benn, whom they acquired from the Dallas Stars in exchange for defenseman Greg Pateryn and a 2017 fourth-round pick. But Habs GM Marc Bergevin still needs help up front, and with big centers Martin Hanzal and Brian Boyle both off the market, the clock is ticking, says ESPN's Scott Burnside. The Canadiens have just three wins in 11 games in February, and their once-sizable lead atop the Atlantic Division standings has shrunk to two points.

3:28 p.m. ET: The Tampa Bay Lightning have acquired center Brian Boyle from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for forward Byron Froese and a second-round draft pick in 2017, reports ESPN's Craig Custance. Boyle is set to become an unrestricted free agent after this season and the Lighting have salary-cap concerns heading into next season, making Boyle's return to Tampa Bay unlikely. Boyle brings veteran depth at center to the young Maple Leafs and has played more playoff games (100) than any other NHL player since 2011, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

12:17 p.m. ET: Steven Stamkos skated with his Tampa Bay Lightning teammates for the first time since his knee surgery in mid-November. The Lightning captain did 2-on-1 drills, took one-timers and looked comfortable skating, reported Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times. Lightning GM Steve Yzerman said that joining the team in noncontact drills was the next step in Stamkos' recovery and that the center could return sometime this season. "Everything about his rehab is moving along very well," Yzerman said. "There's no complications. He feels good."

7:07 p.m. ET: The Minnesota Wild traded a 2017 first-round pick, 2018 second-round pick and conditional 2019 fourth-round pick plus minor leaguer Grayson Downing to the Arizona Coyotes for center Martin Hanzal, forward Ryan White and a 2017 fourth-round pick, reports ESPN's Craig Custance. It's a hefty price for Hanzal, 30, a pending unrestricted free agent, but one the Wild were willing to pay ahead of Wednesday's NHL trade.

6:35 p.m. ET: The Los Angeles Kings acquired Ben Bishop from the Tampa Bay Lightning in a trade that includes goalie Peter Budaj and an exchange of draft picks, reports ESPN's Pierre LeBrun.

The Kings will pair Bishop with Jonathan Quick in a formidable tandem down the stretch as they attempt to make the playoffs for the seventh time in eight years. Los Angeles (30-27-4) began the day three points behind the St. Louis Blues for the second wild-card berth in the Western Conference.

Tampa Bay retains 20 percent of Bishop's salary-cap hit, reports LeBrun.

11:41 p.m. ET: The Anaheim Ducks added scoring punch ahead of next week's NHL trade deadline, acquiring right wing Patrick Eaves from the Dallas Stars for a conditional second-round draft pick. Eaves, who is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent, has already set a career high for goals this season, scoring his 21st on Feb. 11 against the Carolina Hurricanes.
