The Colorado Avalanche got the ball rolling with another splash in acquiring Lindgren and winger Jimmy Vesey in a trade with the New York Rangers.
The Minnesota Wild answered hours later by acquiring pending free agent forward Gustav Nyquist.
The last-place Chicago Blackhawks shipped out another veteran, sending Jones to the defending champion Florida Panthers.
