Carrier has been placed on the COVID-19 protocol list.
Carrier has missed the last two games while nursing an undisclosed injury and was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list on Monday. Expect him to miss his third straight game on Tuesday.
Line Change
Jarvis will make his NHL debut Sunday vs. the Coyotes.
Carrier (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Friday.
Carrier played just 6:41 TOI in Dallas on Wednesday before leaving with a lower-body injury. Carrier is considered a game-time decision for Friday's game vs. the Ducks.
The Coyotes have placed Ryan Dzingel (upper-body) on IR.
Dzingel was hurt in Florida on Monday, playing just 6:00 TOI before leaving the game. Dzingel was one of four players hurt against the Panthers, so the Coyotes will have a drastically different-looking lineup in Tampa on Thursday.
Walker will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL and MCL.
This is a massive blow for the Kings blueline, who will also be without Drew Doughty until late December. With both of them out, Matt Roy takes over as the Kings' No.1 defenseman and PP1 quarterback moving forward.
Smith (undisclosed) will make his season debut on Saturday.
Smith missed the first three games of the season with an undisclosed injury that he suffered in training camp but will play Saturday vs. the Sabres. Smith, who had 23 points (2G / 21A) in 48 games last season, will replace Christian Jaros in the lineup and skate on pairing with Damon Severson.
Carrier (concussion) will make his season debut on Wednesday.
Carrier missed the first two games of the season in concussion protocol but will play Wednesday vs. the Blues. Carrier, who had 15 points (6G / 9A) in 52 games last season, will fill a familiar spot on the Golden Knights fourth line.
Smith (lower-body) was placed on IR but is questionable to play in the Devils season opener.
Smith is battling an undisclosed lower-body injury that landed him on IR on Monday but he remains eligible to play in the season opener if he's healthy enough. The Devils don't start their season until Friday, so keep an eye on Smith's status throughout the week.
Carrier is in concussion protocol and doubtful for Tuesday's season opener.
The Stars have signed Logan Stankoven to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Hurricanes have signed Ronan Seeley to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Seeley was a seventh-round pick of the Hurricanes in 2020. The 6-foot-1, 192 lbs. defenseman had five goals and 12 assists (17 points) in 23 games with the Everett Silvertips (WHL).
The Hurricanes have acquired Jesperi Kotkaniemi from the Canadiens. The Hurricanes have given up a 2022 1st and 3rd round picks for signing Kotkaniemi to a one-year, $6.1 million contract via offer sheet.
The Hurricanes have re-signed Andrei Svechnikov to a eight-year contract worth $62 million.
The Flames have re-signed Juuso Valimaki to a two-year, $3.1 million contract.
The Hurricanes have signed Jalen Chatfield to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Coyotes have signed Ryan Dzingel to a one-year deal worth $1.1M.
The Blue Jackets have signed Eric Robinson to a two-year extension worth $3.2 million ($1.6M AAV).
The Hurricanes have signed Jordan Martinook to a three-year contract extension worth $5.4 million ($1.8M AAV).
The Bruins have signed Taylor Hall to a four-year contract extension worth $24.0 million ($6.0M AAV).
Hall had a slow start with the Sabres in 2021 but found his stride after a midseason trade to the Bruins. Once in Boston, Hall was tied for 32nd with 14 points (8G / 6A) in 16 games. Hall was the perfect fit for the Bruins' second line and signs a very reasonable $6.0M AAV deal to stay with them for the next four years.
