Those three players are Joel Hanley of the Dallas Stars, Aaron Dell of the Los Angeles and Matthew Phillips of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Phillips, 25, was claimed off waivers by Pittsburgh from the Washington Capitals back on February 16th. In three games with the Penguins, he failed to record any points. Meanwhile, he put up five points (one goal, four assists) in 27 games with the Washington Capitals.
