The trade deadline may have come and gone, but that doesn’t mean that there won’t be any more trades over the courses of the remainder of the league year. The NHL Expansion Draft is right around the corner, with protection lists due on July 17, ahead of the draft on July 21.
By that time, all 30 participating teams must be able to submit a protection list that complies with the exposure requirements of the draft. As a reminder, teams may protect seven forwards, three defensemen, and a goalie or eight skaters and a goalie. However, they must also expose two forwards and one defenseman signed beyond this season and who have played in 27 NHL games this season or 54 games over the past two seasons, as well as a goaltender under team control beyond this season.

In the Canadiens region:
This 41st game of the season is simply the mark of the end of the first half of an NHL campaign in a typical year. In 2020-21, it falls late in the year, with the playoffs just weeks away.
The Calgary Flames, with more games played than the team they’re chasing and still several points back, recognized the urgency of their situation and have respnded with wins over three different rivals with superior records in their last three contests. They have to win the vast majority of the games remaining on their schedule, and over the past week they’ve been making that happen.
