Ross Johnston is gone! The Anaheim Ducks claimed him off waivers, taking on the final three years of his contract and ending a most unusual Islanders tenure. Johnston, signed to consecutive four-year contracts, appeared in 134 games since his debut in 2015-16. He twice reached a career-high 32 games in single seasons.
Meanwhile, the NHL kicked off its season, though we have to wait till Saturday.
