Devils get Dumoulin, while the Panthers add more depth ahead of the NHL trade deadline
The banged up New Jersey Devils wasted no time filling an area of need ahead of the NHL trade deadline , while the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers made an under-the-radar move that could pave the way for another deep playoff run.
New Jersey acquired veteran defenseman Brian Dumoulin from the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday for a second-round pick and the rights to unsigned 19-year-old prospect Herman Traff. Florida got faceoff specialist and depth center Nico Sturm and a 2027 seventh-round pick from San Jose for a fourth-rounder in 2026.

This is the first time NHL players will participate in the Olympics since 2014. The NHL did not send its players to the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang County, South Korea because of a logistics and cost dispute with the International Olympic Committee. The NHL pulled out of the 2022 Games in Beijing because of disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Italy was the site of Sweden's last Olympic gold medal, at the 2006 Games in Turin, where former Wings great Nicklas Lidstrom scored the winning goal in the gold medal game against Finland.

Taylor Swift sweetly referenced 'boyfriend' Travis Kelce in hospital visit
Taylor Swift sweetly referenced 'boyfriend' Travis Kelce in hospital visit Pop star Taylor Swift and Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce have been spending some time in Florida as of late, with the smitten couple taking in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers on Thursday. Before the game, Swift surprised patients at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Florida with a visit that included pictures, hugs and an all-around sweet day. One mega Swiftie that the 14-time Grammy winner popped in to see was Jamarr, who posted video of the visit. At one point, someone in the room asked Swift why she was in Florida, and the The Tortured Poets Department singer had a ready and sensible answer that involved her beau of two years. "My boyfriend is training here, so I just thought I'd come see how you're doing," Swift told Jamarr. Kelce has been getting in workouts in the sunshine state, allegedly losing about 25 pounds and slimming down a bit before the season. With the Chiefs mini-camp on the calendar for June 17-19, Kelce -- and likely Swift -- will return to Kansas City. With Kelce's 13th season getting underway soon and Swift recently wrapping up the purchase of her masters, the lovey-dovey pair deserved a little getaway to sunshine and sand. That Swift got a chance to brighten the day of some fans is just the cherry on top.
