The Blackhawks and Rangers are among the teams looking for a goalie

David Pagnotta: The goalie market is interesting to watch.

The Chicago Blackhawks are looking for a goaltender and did talk to the Los Angeles Kings about Cal Petersen before the was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers.

The New York Rangers are looking for a veteran backup goaltender. Jonathan Quick could be an option.

Could the Montreal Canadiens move Christian Dvorak?

NHL Watcher: Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts: The Podcast on the Montreal Canadiens: “We should mention with Montreal, Christian Dvorak, it would seem that there isn’t a role for him there now they got so many centres, so I think that’s another name worth keeping an eye on”
