NHL Notebook: Penguins and Sabres make small trade

The Pittsburgh Penguins completed a minor depth trade with the Buffalo Sabres on Monday, acquiring 25-year-old defenseman Ryan Johnson. In exchange, the Sabres acquired defenseman Caleb Jones and 24-year-old prospect Daniel Laatsch from Pittsburgh. The deal marks another roster move for Pittsburgh following their recent acquisition of Spencer Stastney earlier in the month.

Elsewhere across the league, the NHL announced disciplinary actions involving multiple players. Chicago Blackhawks forward Frank Nazar received a two-game suspension for an illegal check to the head of New York Islanders forward Bo Horvat. Additionally, New Jersey Devils forward Evan Rodrigues was issued a $5,000 fine for a high-sticking incident against Vancouver Canucks forward Marco Rossi.
