The Philadelphia Flyers have traded Jakub Voracek to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Cam Atkinson in the first major trade on the second day of the NHL draft. The deal was straight up, with Voracek returning to the team that drafted him in 2007. It's Philadelphia's second major trade in two days after acquiring defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen from Buffalo for two high picks. The Sabres continued their fire sale by trading forward Sam Reinhart to Florida for a goalie prospect and future first-round pick. Colorado Avalanche kicked off the day by signing top defenseman Cale Makar to a $54 million, six-year contract.

The Buffalo Sabres have traded veteran defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen to the Philadelphia Flyers, and forward Sam Reinhart could be the next to go. GM Kevyn Adams confirmed a report by Sportsnet.ca that he's had discussions to trade the seventh-year player to the Florida Panthers, while stressing the deal has not yet been completed. In trading Ristolainen, Buffalo acquired fifth-year defenseman Robert Hagg and the Flyers first-round pick hours before the NHL draft. Buffalo also acquired Philadelphia’s second-round pick in the 2023 draft. Ristolainen gives the Flyers another right-shot defenseman for their top four after acquiring Ryan Ellis from Nashville last weekend.

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks died of chest trauma from an errant fireworks mortar blast in what authorities described as a tragic accident on the Fourth of July. Police in Novi, Michigan, say the firework tilted slightly and started to fire toward people nearby. The 24-year-old Kivlenieks was in a hot tub and tried to get clear with several other people. Authorities had earlier said the Latvian died of an apparent head injury during a fall. An autopsy clarified the cause of death.
