The playoff push is here. That means intense games, playoff spoilers and of course the trade deadline. A recent trend in the NHL has been teams getting a jump on the deadline. That trend continues this season as this week saw multiple deals before Monday's deadline.

Here is quick look at the moves that were made this past week.

Pittsburgh Gets: Daniel Winnik                      Toronto Gets: Zach Sill, 2016 2nd, 2015 4th

Winnipeg Gets: Jiri Tlusy                                  Carolina Gets: 2016 3rd round pick

Los Angeles Gets: Andrej Sekera                    Carolina Gets: Roland McKeown, Conditional 1st 

Minnesota Gets: Sean Bergenheim, 2016 7th              Florida Gets: 2016 3rd Round Pick

Anaheim Gets: Jiri Sekac                                   Montreal Gets: Devante Smith-Pelly

Columbus Gets: David Clarkson                     Toronto Gets: Nathan Horton

Florida Gets: Jaromir Jagr                                New Jersey Gets: 2015 2nd, 2016 3rd

St. Louis Gets: Adam Cracknell                       Columbus Gets: Future considerations

Toronto Gets; T.J. Brennan                            Chicago Gets: Spencer Abbott

There is just over 72 hours left until the trade deadline. More players are expected to be moved. The question is how many and will we see the blockbuster deal this year. Only time will tell.

Kane

The Chicago Blackhawks took a huge loss on Tuesday as All Star winger Patrick Kane went down with a broken clavicle. He is expected to miss the next 10 weeks recovering from surgery. Kane is in a three way tie with Jakub Voracek and Nicklas Backstrom for the league scoring title.

It would have marked the first time an American born player would have won the scoring had he been able to do so. He has also been in the conversation for the Hart Trophy as league MVP. Teuvo Teravainen was recalled to take Kane's spot on the roster.
