The Philadelphia Flyers claimed Luke Glendening off waivers from the New Jersey Devils.
Although quiet during the NHL trade deadline, the Devils placed three players on waivers: Luke Glendening, Maxim Tsyplakov, and Evgenii Dadonov.
Of these three, Glendening was the only player to be claimed. Dadonov and Tsyplakov are now available to rejoin the team.
Glendening played 52 games for the Devils, recording four assists.
He signed a one-year, $775,000 deal on Oct. 7, 2025, after joining training camp on a professional tryout.
Over 13 seasons, the undrafted 36-year-old has played 916 NHL games for four teams.
Glendening made his Flyers debut on March 7 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

William Nylander, like most of the Toronto Maple Leafs' players during this last stretch of games, looks dejected.
It's a brand new situation for Nylander, who, like Auston Matthews and a few others on the team, hasn't experienced missing the playoffs in the NHL yet. As it stands, Toronto is 11 points out of a playoff spot, with 18 games remaining in its season.
They've also lost their last seven games coming out of the Olympic break. To put it into more of a perspective, though: Toronto has lost 13 of its last 16 games, dating back to Jan. 13 against the Utah Mammoth.
"I mean, hard to really stay optimistic in this situation," a down Nylander said on Tuesday, ahead of the Maple Leafs' game against the Montreal Canadiens. "But yeah, just try to get a win."
This year has been difficult for Nylander for a multitude of reasons.
(A positive is that, despite missing games, Nylander still leads the Maple Leafs with 21 goals and 59 points in 47 games this season.)
Now, for the first time in his career, Nylander's season will end in mid-April, while half of the NHL gears up for the postseason.
"At the beginning there, after the break, it was a lot of frustration and everything," Nylander continued.
"But now, I mean, it's not going to help being frustrated. I think the mood in the locker room has changed a little bit, and I think that's made it a better environment for everybody."
If there's any positive in this situation, it's that the Maple Leafs aren't too far off from being a playoff team once again. They've still got the core pieces, like a Matthews, a Nylander, a John Tavares.
"Yeah, of course. I mean, I remember the Lightning missed the playoffs one year, and then the next year they're back at the top of the division competing. I look at a team like Boston this year that had a down year, and same thing, like they're in the mix," Toronto's captain said.
"Sometimes that happens, and we've been fortunate to be in the playoffs for the last nine years or so. And you kind of hope that it's a one-off and we can continue to build and continue to be in contention.
"Obviously, the focus is on right now and trying to get our game back and trying to get in the win column. But obviously, it's something you think about."
As mentioned, this is a unique situation for several Maple Leafs players. They've never been in this position, nor will they want to be in it again after this season.
However, you've got to attempt to finish the year on a positive note. While fans might want the team to get as close to the bottom of the standings for draft purposes, head coach Craig Berube and his players are likely looking in the opposite direction.
It's a difficult balance for a team. But battling through it is the only way to get back on track positively, says Berube.
"I mean, [Nylander has] always been in [the playoffs] and it's new for him, for sure. But, you know, every player and team goes through adversity at one point in their career, and this is some adversity that he's normally not used to. And like I said, he's got to work his way out of it."

J.T Miller appears to be inching toward a return to the New York Rangers’ lineup.
The Rangers placed Miller on injured reserve on March 3 after a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets due to an upper-body injury.
It’s the second time Miller has missed time with an upper-body injury, but both injuries are reportedly not related and are entirely separate.
Mike Sullivan insinuated that Miller got hurt around the time he was hit in the head with a puck in the third period of the Rangers’ 5-4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 2.
The 32-year-old forward returned to the ice for the first time on Tuesday for the Rangers’ morning skate ahead of their matchup against the Calgary Flames, wearing a red non-contact jersey.
“Pretty well,” Sullivan said about how Miller is progressing. “He's had a number of skates on his own with our skill guys. He joined the group today. Obviously, that suggests progress.”
Miller has missed the past three games, but he’s slated to shed his red non-contact jersey soon and hence return to the lineup, likely sometime in the coming games.
“We'll take each day as it comes, but I would anticipate sooner than later,” Sullivan said about whether Miller is close to shedding his non-contact jersey.
Miller’s appearance at the morning skate on Tuesday indicates that he could join the team on their road trip to Winnipeg and Minnesota this week.
Oilers vs Avalanche best bet: Connor McDavid Over 1.5 points (+100)
Connor McDavid is priced at +100 to go Over his posted total of 1.5 points tonight, a line he's eclipsed in five of his last six outings — averaging two points per game over that stretch.
The Colorado Avalanche's penalty kill has been sloppy of late, allowing at least one goal in six of their last seven games.
This should be an avenue where McDavid can get an edge on Colorado, as the Edmonton Oilers have an NHL-best power play operating at a 32.7% clip — and McDavid is leading the league with 43 power-play points.
Oilers vs Avalanche same-game parlay
This is a matchup of two offensive juggernauts with suspect goaltending. The Over is 7-1-2 in the Oilers’ last 10 games, and it's hit in three straight meetings between these two clubs.
Evan Bouchard leads all NHL blueliners with 73 points, 55 of which are assists. He’s recorded at least one helper in seven straight games.

Jordan Kyrou and the St. Louis Blues get set to host the New York Islanders this evening at Enterprise Center.
My Islanders vs. Blues predictions expect Kyrou’s shot volume to remain strong against a mid-tier shot suppression side.
Let’s take a closer look at my NHL picks for Tuesday, March 10.
Islanders vs Blues prediction
Islanders vs Blues best bet: Jordan Kyrou Over 2.5 shots (+100)
Jordan Kyrou has registered at least three shots in seven of his past 10 games, but the uptick in volume dates back further. It aligns with moving to a line with Jake Neighbours a few months back.
Kyrou has skated with Neighbours 20 times since December 1 and cleared 2.5 shots in 15 of them (75%). He was also within striking distance in three of the five Unders, landing on two shots in each.
The New York Islanders rank 23rd in shots allowed in the slot, and that’s where a lot of Kyrou’s volume comes from.
Islanders vs Blues same-game parlay
Tony DeAngelo has done a great job of generating shots from the point, particularly on the road.
He's averaged 2.7 shots on goal and gone Over 1.5 shots in 14 of his last 19 away games vs. teams outside the Top 10 in shot suppression. The St. Louis Blues also rank 29th in shots allowed to his primary shooting zone over their last 10.
The Blues have dropped seven of their past eight contests against Top 10 teams in limiting goals against. Led by all-world goaltender Ilya Sorokin, the Islanders sit fifth.

The Vancouver Canucks are going to face some déjà vu in the 2026 off-season. Just like this past year, Vancouver could be forced to trade their young up-and-coming goaltender due to waiver issues. That goaltender is Nikita Tolopilo, who will no longer be waiver eligible once the 2026-27 season begins.
This situation may sound familiar, as it is the exact same one that the Canucks faced with Artūrs Šilovs during the 2025 off-season. The end result was that Vancouver traded Šilovs to the Pittsburgh Penguins instead of hoping he would not be claimed in the waiver system. Šilovs had just come off a Calder Cup championship and was dealt for forward Chase Stillman and a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft.
According to PuckPedia, Tolopilo will no longer be eligible for waivers next season. This has to do with the age at which he signed and the number of years he has played in either the AHL or NHL. The 2025-26 season is Tolopilo's third with the organization and his second in which he has played NHL games.
While he has only played 13 games this year, Tolopilo has proven he can be at least a reliable goaltender in the NHL. This season, the 25-year-old has a 4-5-2 record with a save percentage of .899. Tolopilo has also played 19 games for Abbotsford, with a record of 8-8-3.
Why the Canucks may be forced to trade Tolopilo is due to No-Movement Clauses with both Thatcher Demko and Kevin Lankinen. Demko's new contract kicks in on July 1, while Lankinen's No Movement Clause doesn't shift to a Modified No Trade Clause until 2027-28. Unless something changes before July 1, both Demko and Lankinen will be unmovable heading into the 2026-27 season.

While the off-season is still a few months away, potentially losing Tolopilo should be seen as a significant issue. Vancouver can not afford to lose another goaltender, as Tolopilo is more than likely to be claimed if put on waivers. Ultimately, the Canucks will need to get creative during the 2026 off-season if they want to keep Tolopilo in the organization.

MONTREAL — The Toronto Maple Leafs have called up forward Bo Groulx from the Toronto Marlies, the club announced Tuesday.
Currently on a seven-game losing streak (0-5-2), the Maple Leafs have indicated that at some point, they will start giving players with the Marlies more opportunities. Groulx leads the Marlies in scoring this season with 27 goals and 23 assists in 50 games.
A second-round draft pick (54th overall) by the Anaheim Ducks in 2018, Groulx played in 45 games with Anaheim last season, registering two assists.
The Leafs are short on center depth after trading Nicolas Roy to the Colorado Avalanche for a conditional first-round draft pick in 2027 and a conditional fifth-round pick and 2026. They also traded Scott Laughton to the Los Angeles Kings for a conditional third-round draft pick in 2026 that can become a second-rounder if the Kings make the playoffs this season.
At practice on Monday, Jacob Quillan was promoted to the third line center position, skating on a line with Easton Cowan and Nick Robertson. Toronto's fourth line consisted of Steven Lorentz centering a line with Dakota Joshua and Calle Jarnkrok.
It's not clear if Groulx, who was born in France but grew up in Quebec, will be inserted into the lineup against the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday.
F Bo Groulx has been recalled from the Toronto Marlies (AHL).

The Montreal Canadiens welcome the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Bell Centre for an Atlantic Division clash on Tuesday, March 10.
These two teams couldn’t be headed in more opposite directions, which is why my Maple Leafs vs. Canadiens predictions and NHL picks call for Montreal to pull away tonight.
Maple Leafs vs Canadiens prediction
Maple Leafs vs Canadiens best bet: Canadiens -1.5 (+140)
The Toronto Maple Leafs are reeling in a 4-11-4 stretch while allowing the most goals per game (4.26) and ranking 29th in Corsi For percentage (CF%) and 28th in expected goals percentage (xGF%)at 5-on-5.
It hasn’t been all sunshine and roses for the Habs, with Montreal checking in 26th in CF% and 29th in xGF% at 5-on-5 during the same stretch.
However, the Canadiens have outscored their problems, ranking second in goals per game (4.06) and third in goals per 60 minutes at 5-on-5.
Toronto won’t keep pace tonight.
Maple Leafs vs Canadiens same-game parlay
This is a favorable matchup for the Montreal offense, and Habs winger Cole Caufield has marked the scoresheet in four of his past five games to climb to a high-end 3.4 points per 60 minutes.
Defenseman Lane Hutson has recorded two or more shots in consecutive games. Add Hutson quarterbacking the No. 1 power-play unit against a Toronto side allowing the most shots per game (33.8) during the noted 19-game stretch, and I’m expecting the star blueliner to clear this total again.

The New York Islanders battle the St. Louis Blues for the first time since the two sides came together for one of the bigger trades of the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline.
On Friday, the Islanders acquired veteran centerman and Blues captain Brayden Schenn, sending Jonathan Drouin, the Colorado Avalanche's first-round pick, and the New Jersey Devils' third-round pick.
Schenn had spent close to 10 seasons in St. Louis, winning the Stanley Cup in 2018, and captaining them since 2023. He had to waive a 15-team modified no-trade clause to join Long Island and is wrapping up season six of an eight-year deal worth $6.5 million annually.
In his first game, a 2-1 overtime win against the San Jose Sharks, Schenn recorded one shot on three attempts, with one hit, one block, winning 43 percent of his draws (6-for-14) in 17:26 minutes.
Drouin, who had gone 38 games without a goal, scored in his first game with the Blues in a 4-0 win over the Anaheim Ducks.
