The Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday trimmed five players from their training camp roster.

Among those leaving the club is defenseman Joshua Morrissey, the team's first-round pick (No. 13) at the 2013 NHL Draft. He was returned to his junior team, the Prince Albert Raiders of the Western Hockey League.

Columbus Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards told the Columbus Dispatch that Blue Jackets forward Cody Bass will be out 4-6 weeks with a broken thumb.

Bass sustained the injury when he fell to the ice during a preseason game Monday.

The Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday reduced their roster by eight players, with six assigned to the team's American Hockey League affiliate.

Joining the Rockford IceHogs are forwards Drew LeBlanc, Terry Broadhurst, Philip Danault, Byron Froese and Kyle Beach, and goaltender Antti Raanta.

The Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday sent defenseman Chris Bigras to his junior team, the Owen Sound Attack of the Ontario Hockey League.

Bigras, a 2013 second-round (No. 32) draft pick, had an impressive training camp in making a surprise bid for an opening-night roster spot.

The Minnesota Wild on Tuesday reduced their training camp roster to 28 players.

The Wild assigned forwards Raphael Bussieres, Josh Caron, Kris Foucault, Tyler Graovac, Erik Haula, and Zack Phillips; defensemen Corbin Baldwin, Colton Jobke, and Kyle Medvec; and goaltenders Johan Gustafsson and Darcy Kuemper to the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League.

New York Rangers general manager Glen Sather appears to be growing impatient with center Derek Stepan.

The restricted free agent has yet to sign a contract with the club and has held out of training camp. Stepan, 23, led the Rangers with 44 points (18 goals, 26 assists) in 48 games last season.

"I don't think Derek is going to let this thing linger that long," Sather said in an interview on MSG Network during the Rangers' preseason game against the Calgary Flames on Monday night. "I don't think he is a big enough fool to think that he will sit out the year and it will do any good. He is in a gap contract and every one of our players has signed a gap contract."

The Anaheim Ducks trimmed their roster to 35 players Monday night, sending six players to the Norfolk Admirals in the American Hockey League.

Among those demoted were goaltender John Gibson, the club’s second-round pick (No. 39) in 2011. Gibson went 17-9-1 with a 2.41 goals-against average and .928 save percentage in 27 games for the Kitchener Rangers in the Ontario Hockey League last season.

San Jose Sharks forward Raffi Torres will be sidelined for a minimum of six weeks with what general manager Doug Wilson said Monday was an issues with the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

The immediate plan is to wait until the swelling goes down to determine the extent of the damage and whether Torres needs surgery or rest. If surgery is required, Torres will be out between three and four months.

The Dallas Stars on Monday sent goaltender Jack Campbell to the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League.

Campbell, a 2011 first-round pick (No. 11), was 0-0-1 with a 5.29 goals-against average and .824 save percentage in one preseason games.

In 40 AHL games last season, the 21-year-old went 19-13-3 with a 2.65 GAA, .905 save percentage and two shutouts.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed forward Mason Raymond to a one-year contract, according to report from Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

Raymond, with the Maple Leafs on a professional tryout, leads the team with four points in three preseason games.

"Based on Mason's play in the preseason, we feel he fits in well with our group and will have a significant role on our team," general manager Dave Nonis said. "We agreed to terms over the weekend and look forward to him making a strong contribution this season."
