Anaheim Ducks News
Goalie Start
Brossoit will start Tuesday in Ottawa.
Granlund is expected to miss the start of the regular season.
Granlund has yet to arrive at Predators' training camp but hopes to travel to Nashville this week. Granlund will have to quarantine upon his arrival, which means he will miss the start of the regular season. Granlund figures to slot in on the Predators' second line once he joins the team.
The Predators have signed Mikael Granlund to a one-year contract worth $3.75 million.
The Jets have signed Laurent Brossoit to a one-year, $1.5 million contract extension.
Brossoit did not enjoy the same level of success in year two with the Jets but was solid enough to stay on as Connor Hellebuyck's backup for at least one more year. Brossoit went 6-7-1 with a 3.28 GAA and .895 SV% in 2020 and is now 19-13-3 with a 2.87 GAA and . 912 SV% in 40 career games (34 starts) with the Jets.
Line Change
Killorn has served his one-game suspension and will draw back into the Lightning lineup for Game 4.
Suspension
Killorn has been suspended for Game 3 for his hit on Brock Nelson in Game 2.
Killorn was assessed a five-minute major and was ejected from Game 2 and will miss Game 3 as well. With Killorn suspended and Brayden Point likely out, the Lighting lineup will look a lot different in Game 3. Look for two of Carter Verhaeghe, Mathieu Joseph or Mitchell Stephens to draw into the lineup if Point joins Killorn in the stands.
Line Change
Vatrano will be a healthy scratch in Game 3.
The Ducks have signed Troy Terry to a three-year extension worth $4.35 million ($1.45M AAV).
Kreider (foot) will not play Sunday vs. the Flyers.
Kreider suffered a fractured foot in Philadelphia on Friday and will come out of the lineup for at least Sunday’s game. Head coach David Quinn did not have a timetable on Kreider’s absence prior to Sunday’s game but you have to anticipate they will be without him for at least a couple of weeks. Phil Di Giuseppe will move up to the top line to start Sunday’s game.
Kreider (illness) will play Tuesday.
Kreider was listed as a game-time decision but head coach David Quinn told reporters that the recently signed winger will play vs. the Islanders. Kreider comes in with 14 points (8G / 6A) in his last 13 games.
Kreider (illness) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
The day after getting a seven-year contract extension, Kreider is questionable to play vs. the Islanders due to an illness. Head coach David Quinn is expected to speak around 5:30 PM ET and should update Kreider's status at that time.
Goalie Start
Brossoit will start Tuesday in Washington.
Brossoit stopped 29 of 30 shots in the Jets’ win in Ottawa last Thursday. Brossoit has been terrific in his last two starts, going 2-0-0 while stopping 54 of the 57 shots (.947 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he faces a Capitals team that has gone 2-4-1 while averaging 3.43 goals for and 4.29 goals against in their last seven home games.
The Rangers have signed Chris Kreider to a seven-year deal worth $45.5 million ($6.5M AAV).
Kreider was set to become a UFA on July 1, and was long expected to be traded ahead of today's deadline. The seven-year deal will pay Kreider through his age-36 season. Kreider has 24 goals and 21 assists in 60 games this season after posting a career-high 52 points a year ago.
Goalie Start
Brossoit will start in Ottawa on Thursday.
Line Change
Jensen will draw back into the Capitals lineup on Monday.
Jensen was a healthy scratch on Saturday but will replace Radko Gudas in the lineup tonight vs. the Islanders. Jensen has had very little success offensively this season, posting four assists in 54 games.
Goalie Start
Brossoit will start Saturday afternoon vs. the Senators.
Brossoit allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Jets loss to the Bruins on January 31st. Brossoit has gone 1-3-0 with a 3.76 GAA and .875 SV% on home-ice this season and gets set to face an Ottawa team that has lost eight of their last nine road games (1-4-4).
Poehling (undisclosed) is questionable to play Thursday vs. the Ducks.
There is no indication what Poehling is dealing with but a flu bug has been going through the Habs room, so it could be that. Consider Poehling a game-time decision and monitor his status as they hit the ice for warmups at 6:30 PM ET.
Kreider (upper-body) is on the ice for warmups; expected to play vs. the Maple Leafs.
Kreider (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.
Kreider was a full participant in Tuesday's practice but head coach David Quinn called him a game-time decision for tonight's game vs. the Maple Leafs. The Rangers are expected to shake things up, so it's unknown where Kreider will slot in if he plays.
