Okhotyuk will help fill out a Flames' defensive core that is less robust than it was a few weeks ago after dealing away Chris Tanev and Noah Hanifin in trades before the deadline. The 23-year-old Okhotyuk registered eight points (1G / 7A), 126 hits, and 72 blocks while averaging 16:27 time-on-ice through 43 games with the San Jose Sharks.

Middleton will miss Thursday's game in Arizona as he presumably deals with an undisclosed injury. Middleton has seven goals and 13 assists in 62 games this season.

Nemec was a healthy scratch for the Devils' previous game as Travis Green wanted him to have a "reset" but will draw back into New Jersey's lineup on Thursday vs. St. Louis. The 20-year-old rookie has made an impressive impact in his first season in New Jersey, with two goals, 16 points, 54 SOG, 16 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 40 games played this season.

With the Dallas Stars acquiring Chris Tanev, Hanley became disposable for the Stars and was placed on waivers, then claimed by the Flames on Tuesday. The 32-year-old Hanley has three points (0G / 3A), 35 hits, and 32 blocks in 32 games this season.

Vince Dunn exited the third period of Monday's game against the Flames after suffering the hit from Pospisil and is yet to return to the lineup, dealing with what the team has deemed to be an upper-body injury. Pospisil has six goals and nine assists in 45 games this season and will be eligible to return to the Flames' lineup for next Tuesday's game against the Avalanche.

With Zary sidelined due to an upper-body injury, the Flames recalled Matt Coronato from the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) on Monday. Zary has been effective with the Flames this season and has three points (0G / 3A), five shots, and six hits in his last four games.

Brendan Smith will likely draw into the lineup on Tuesday if Nemec is a healthy scratch. Nemec played 16:18 time-on-ice last night and recorded two shots on goal. The Slovak defender has been held off the scoresheet in four straight games.

With the newly-acquired Chris Tanev expected to make his Stars debut this week, and the team up against the salary cap approaching the trade deadline, Hanley has been placed on waivers. The 32-year-old Hanley has three points (0G / 3A), 35 hits, and 32 blocks in 32 games this season.

Connor Zary is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, prompting the Flames to recall Coronato from the Wranglers (AHL). Coronato was the 13th overall pick of the Flames in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and had a 15-game stint with the team earlier this season, but has spent most of his time in the AHL, scoring 42 points (15G / 27A) in 40 games with the Wranglers.

Hanley has played the last seven games for the Stars but will be a healthy scratch on Thursday as Nils Lundkvist makes his return from a concussion. Hanley's presence in the Stars lineup will likely be more limited moving forward with the recent acquisition of Chris Tanev.

Othmann was the 16th overall pick of the Rangers in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. Despite being limited to only three games with the Rangers, he has excelled in his first professional season, scoring 36 points (14G / 22A) in 44 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL.
