The Columbus Blue Jackets acquired two-time Stanley Cup winner Jonathan Quick and two draft picks from the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday in exchange for fellow goaltender Joonas Korpisalo and defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov.

The Blue Jackets are receiving a conditional first-round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft and a third-round selection in the 2024 NHL Draft. Should the Kings fail to qualify for the playoffs, Columbus would then receive second-round picks in the 2023 and 2024 NHL Drafts.

The trade gives the Kings the goalie and left-handed defenseman many feel are the missing ingredients for a team that enters play on Wednesday tied with Vegas for the most points in the Pacific Division. The Golden Knights, however, have played two fewer games.

The Kings are second-to-last in the league in save percentage (.882) and their 3.39 goals-against average ranks 22nd among the 32 NHL teams. On the season, Quick is 11-13-4 with a 3.50 GAA, .876 save percentage and one shutout in 31 games (27 starts).

He is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.

With the trade, Los Angeles bids farewell to one of the most significant players in club history.

Quick, 37, is the Kings’ all-time leader in goalie wins (370, 199 more than the next-closest player), save percentage (minimum 70 games played) at .911 and shutouts (57). He was the netminder for the club’s two Stanley Cup championships (2012, 2014), and the Connecticut native ranks third all-time in wins by American-born goalies.

“Jonathan Quick is a two-time Stanley Cup winner who has been an outstanding goaltender in our league for a long time and this deal provides us with draft capital that will be valuable as we move forward as an organization,” Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said. “It’s never easy to trade players like Vladislav Gavrikov and Joonas Korpisalo as they have been exceptional Blue Jackets, but given our current position, these moves were in our club’s best interest. They are wonderful individuals, and we will always appreciate the contributions they made while they were here.”

However, Quick’s 2022-23 numbers are the worst of his career since his debut season, when he played only three games.

Korpisalo, 28, has played in 28 games this season after playing in only 22 last season as he battled injuries. He underwent hip surgery in the offseason and did not make his season debut until November.

He is 87-78-24 in 210 games over his eight seasons, all with Columbus. Korpisalo has a career .903 save percentage and 3.06 goals-against average. He is 11-11-3 with a .913 save percentage and a 3.17 GAA this season.

Like many Blue Jackets players (Columbus’ 46 points are the fewest in the league), Gavrikov is having a down season with three goals and seven assists in 52 games.

The 27-year-old Russian has 15 goals and 58 assists in 256 games, all with Columbus. His five goals last season tied a career high while his 28 assists and 33 points set new career benchmarks.

Clinging to a narrow lead in the Central Division, the Dallas Stars will look to get back into the win column when they host the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday.

The Stars have just one win (1-3-3) in their past seven games and three in their past 12 (3-3-6). While Dallas has still been banking single points from all the overtime losses, the Stars have been hampered by their lackluster 5-13 record in games that have extended past regulation.

Dallas again fell short in overtime on Monday, dropping a 5-4 home result to the Vancouver Canucks. Although the Canucks scored five goals on only 21 shots against Jake Oettinger, Stars defenseman Jani Hakanpaa blamed his team’s “miscues” rather than his goaltender’s performance.

“We’ve got to be way better for (Oettinger). He’s been unreal for us the whole year,” Hakanpaa said. “We’ve just got to help him out better, just protect that middle (of the ice) much more than what we did today. It’s a little positioning, communication.”

More offensive support also is required, as the Stars have scored just 14 non-shootout goals in their past seven games. A struggling power play is partially to blame, since Dallas has just two goals in its past 31 chances with the extra attacker in its past nine games.

Since the Stars face the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday, Oettinger might not be the choice in net against Arizona. Oettinger and Scott Wedgewood likely will split the back-to-back games in some order.

The Coyotes are on the other end of a back-to-back involving Chicago, as Arizona recorded a 4-1 win over the Blackhawks on Tuesday. The Coyotes limited the Blackhawks to 24 shots, matching Arizona’s season low for shots allowed in a game.

While it would take nothing short of a miracle finish for the Coyotes to reach the playoffs, the team quietly has amassed a solid 6-2-4 record in its past 12 games. The Coyotes also play 15 of their final 22 games on home ice, providing more opportunity for a respectable ending to the season.

With the NHL trade deadline looming on Friday, however, most of the focus has been on which Coyotes players might be heading elsewhere. Forward Nick Bjugstad and defenseman Jakob Chychrun weren’t in Tuesday’s lineup in advance of possible deals, with Chychrun missing his eighth straight game.

There even has been some trade speculation surrounding Arizona’s hottest player, although Nick Schmaltz played Tuesday and collected a goal and an assist. Schmaltz is on a four-game goal streak, and has 20 points (11 goals, nine assists) in his past 14 games.

Prior to Tuesday’s game, Coyotes coach Andre Tourigny said the “stress” of the trade deadline impacts everyone in the organization. He also added “that’s part of the business and we’re professionals. We need to deal with it and we need to move forward.”

Since Karel Vejmelka faced the Blackhawks, Connor Ingram already has been announced as the starting goaltender against Dallas. Ingram is 2-1-3 with a .939 save percentage in his past six games.

Stars captain Jamie Benn has tallied two points in each of his past three games (two goals, four assists).

Dallas recorded lopsided wins in both meetings against Arizona this season (7-2 on Nov. 3, 4-0 on Jan. 21). Dating back to the 2011-12 season, the Stars are a dominant 15-0-1 in home games against the Coyotes.

Penguins 3, Predators 1

Jason Zucker scored the go-ahead goal with 1:39 left as visiting Pittsburgh topped Nashville.

Mark Jankowski scored for the Predators, who had their three-game winning streak snapped. Saros made 31 saves.

Wild 2, Islanders 1 (SO)

Frederick Gaudreau scored the only goal in a shootout for Minnesota, which remained hot by edging New York in Saint Paul, Minn.

Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson and Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin turned back the first four shots of the shootout before Gaudreau deked several times and fired a shot that glanced off Sorokin’s glove and trickled into the right corner of the net. Gustavsson then stopped Kyle Palmieri’s attempt.

Gustavsson made 39 saves in regulation and overtime and Ryan Reaves scored in regulation as the Wild won for the sixth time in seven games (6-1-0). Josh Bailey scored for the Islanders.

Kings 6, Jets 5 (SO)

Anze Kopitar recorded his second-career four-goal game and Los Angeles rallied from three two-goal deficits to hand host Winnipeg another loss.

Los Angeles was down 5-3 after two periods when Kopitar scored on a slapper 1:26 into the third. The Kings tied it with 4:06 left in regulation when Gabriel Vilardi beat Connor Hellebuyck (32 saves). Adrian Kempe had the lone goal in the shootout for Los Angeles, which finished a 2-2-1 trip.

Kraken 5, Blues 3

Morgan Geekie scored twice as visiting Seattle snapped its three-game losing streak with a victory over St. Louis.
