Rangers trade Mike Rupp to Wild for 2 players

Posted: February 06, 2013

The New York Rangers traded rugged forward Mike Rupp to the Minnesota Wild on Monday for forwards Darroll Powe and Nick Palmieri.

The 27-year-old Powe played 204 games with the Flyers before joining Minnesota last season.

Palmieri played in 87 NHL games with New Jersey and Minnesota.

Four, not three

The NHL agreed with Chris Kunitz - he scored four goals instead of three in the Pittsburgh Penguins' win over the Washington Capitals.

The league announced Monday that Kunitz has been credited with a fourth goal from Sunday's 6-3 victory.

Staals shine

Jordan Staal scored his first goal with the Hurricanes, and his brother Eric added the winner in Carolina's 4-1 victory over the host Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night.

Cam Ward backed up the offense with a 41-save performance.

More moves

The Columbus Blue Jackets placed defenseman Adrian Aucoin on injured reserve retroactive to Jan. 29.

The Detroit Red Wings put rookie Brendan Smith on injured reserve. He will be out two to four weeks with a sprained right shoulder . - AP
