Game Recap
Oilers Nab Connor Murphy from Hawks
Edmonton swings early at the deadline, prying veteran right-shot defenseman Connor Murphy from Chicago for a 2028 second-rounder with half his salary retained. The 32-year-old Bostonian brings 805 games of grit, leading Hawks D in blocks and penalty-kill minutes this year, and McDavid already calls him a nightmare to play against. Oilers GM Stan Bowman targeted this exact profile to shore up a blue line that's leaked goals post-Olympic break, and Murphy eyes his debut Friday against Carolina.
