00:00Friends, I'm Lauren Gardner, and welcome to this edition of On the Fly.
00:04Well, we're less than 24 hours from Friday's 3 p.m. trade deadline, and front offices are busy.
00:10None more than Jarmo Kekalainen, whose Sabres are firmly in a playoff spot and are looking to add depth.
00:16But it won't be Colton Pareko, who was rumored to be in the mix to be dealt from St. Louis
00:21to Buffalo.
00:22According to reports, he exercises no trade clause on Thursday.
00:26But worry not, Sabres fans, the deadline is far from over, and perhaps this club is complete as is and
00:33poised for a deep playoff run.
00:35Tage Thompson and his club were in action on deadline eve against the Pens in Steeltown.
00:40It's even more rare to spend those 20 seasons with the same team.
00:44But such is the case for King star Andrzej Kopitar, who played in his 1500th career game on Thursday night,
00:50becoming just the sixth player in NHL history to reach that mark and first in franchise history.
00:57The 38-year-old looks to end his final season on a high note as his team continues to battle
01:02for a playoff spot
01:03with a big two points on the line as they took on Matthew Schaefer and the Isles.
01:08I think that's also my new favorite book.
01:11That does it for this edition of On the Fly.
01:13For our great crew here at NHL Network, I'm Lauren Gardner.
01:15See you next time.
01:16We'll see you next time.
