from TSN,

TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger appeared on NBCSN's NHL Rivalry Night on Wednesday, saying the Los Angeles Kings are in search of a defenceman - with Andrej Sekera, Jeff Petry and Zbynek Michalek as possible candidates. He added that the Oilers are going to talk with Petry's representative about a possible extension. TSN's Edmonton reporter Ryan Rishaug tweeted earlier in the day that both sides have in fact spoken with each other recently.

Dreger also said Lou Lamoriello still believes the New Jersey Devils can make the playoffs, but winger Jaromir Jagr is willing to be traded, preferring an Eastern Conference team but also open to going to the West. He also mentioned that soon-to-be unrestricted free agent Mats Zuccarello won't be traded by the New York Rangers at the deadline, but it will be a tough contract negotiation as he could be looking for $5 million a season.
