Friday's FTB: More 4-Nations and an AHL Trade

New, for @TheAthletic: Sources say that Team Canada 🇨🇦 is having Thomas Harley travel to Boston as its standby 'D' in case of emergency. What I'm hearing about the fluid #4Nations roster rules after Shea Theodore's injury. 🔗⬇️ https://t.co/RfCHa1tY6f https://t.co/RfCHa1tY6f

🚨 An AHL-level TRADE 🚨

The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired forward Mathias Laferriere from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for forward Corey Andonovski.

Laferriere will report to the #WBSPens, and Andonovski will head to AHL-Springfield. @InsideAHLHockey

USA vs Finland featured Henri Jokiharju getting the first goal of the game. He was added to the roster in early February when it was determined that Jani Hakanpää wouldn't be playing.

I will confess I bailed on the third period. I don't like 8 pm starts and this game was just not grabbing my attention. If you love defensive forwards who can shut down talented offence, this game was for you.

Have a good Friday, everyone, the 4-Nations has the day off, but the Sceptres are on the ice tonight. And why do I keep thinking February 14 means something...
