Blue Jackets' Ivan Provorov: Returns to practice Friday
Rotowire
Provorov (soreness) returned to practice Friday after missing a couple of days, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
It's a new beginning for Provorov, as he was dealt from the Flyers on June 6. Provorov had six goals, 21 assists, 162 blocked shots and a minus-24 rating last season while playing in all 82 games. Look for a big improvement this season, as he will be on a better Columbus team.

Blue Jackets' Ivan Provorov: Traded to Columbus
Rotowire
Provorov was traded to the Blue Jackets from the Flyers on Tuesday, TSN reports.
The details of the trade have yet to be confirmed, but it looks like the Kings will be retaining part of Provorov's salary as the third party involved with this deal. The 26-year-old defender underwhelmed in 2022-23, picking up just 27 points through 82 games while posting a minus-17 rating. Nonetheless, perhaps a change of scenery will help Provorov reach his potential. Look for him to slot into a top-four role while seeing time with one of the Jackets' power-play units next season.

Provorov went plus-3 with an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Rotowire

Flyers' Ivan Provorov: Snaps slump with assist
Rotowire
Provorov logged an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sharks.
Provorov set up fellow defenseman Tony DeAngelo on the game-winning goal 1:10 into overtime.

Rotowire
Provorov recorded four shots, one block and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 defeat to Arizona.
