The Pittsburgh Penguins traded defenseman Brett Kulak to the Colorado Avalanche on February 24, 2026, in exchange for defenseman Samuel Girard and a 2028 second-round draft pick. This marks the NHL's first trade following the Olympic break. The move allows Pittsburgh to add a younger offensive defenseman while bolstering Colorado's defensive depth ahead of the playoffs.
The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired restricted free-agent defenseman Maxence Guenette from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for defenseman Dennis Gilbert. The Flyers signed Guenette to a one-year, two-way contract. Gilbert returns to Ottawa after a previous stint with the team.
