We have NHL action this Monday afternoon, involving former Montreal Canadiens goalie Dustin Tokarski.

First, the Carolina Hurricanes announced a signing in net, bringing in the former Canadiens goalie.

"The Hurricanes have signed goalie Dustin Tokarski to a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 in the NHL and $100,000 in the AHL."
- David Pagnotta

Let's remember they are dealing with significant injuries in net, including Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov.

"The Hurricanes have signed veteran goalie Dustin Tokarski to a two-way contract for the remainder of the season - giving them more depth with Frederik Andersen injured.
Tokarski was already part of the organization on an AHL deal."

- Chris Johnston

Two names placed on NHL waivers: Dustin Tokarski and Daniil Chayka

We also have action on that front, notably involving Tokarski.

Tokarski and Daniil Chayka have been placed on NHL waivers.

Chayka, 22, is a 6-foot-3, 204-pound defenseman. He was a second-round pick of the Vegas Golden Knights in 2021 (38th overall) and has recorded one point in five AHL games this season.

Tokarski, 35, is a 6-foot, 198-pound goalie. He holds a 4-1-0 record this season in the American Hockey League, with a 1.61 goals-against average and a .933 save percentage.

A situation to watch over the next few hours.
