Taylor Hall recently suffered a lower-body injury, which he'll receive a second opinion on, so the Bruins have added Bertuzzi to their top-9. Bertuzzi has struggled with injuries this season, appearing in just 29 games, scoring four goals (6.5 SH%) and 10 assists (14 points). He could make his Bruins debut as soon as Thursday vs. The Sabres.
Saarjarvi currently plays for the SCL Tigers in Switzerland and has 11 goals and 33 points through 49 games. The 25-year-old was acquired by Chicago as part of the three-team deal which saw New York acquire Patrick Kane.
Gogolev has 21 goals, 48 points and 28 PIMs with the Newfoundland Growlers (ECHL) and has been dealt alongside Joey Anderson, a conditional 2025 1st round pick, and a 2026 2nd round pick from the Maple Leafs for Jake McCabe, Sam Lafferty, a conditional 2024 5th round pick, and a conditional 2025 5th round pick.
The NHLPA and NHL announced today that Panthers' goalie Spencer Knight will be unavailable for an indefinite period of time while he receives care from the player assistance program of the NHL and NHLPA. Under the terms of the joint program, Knight will continue to be paid while receiving treatment. He will return to the club when cleared for on-ice competition by the program administrators.
Knight has a 9-8-3 record, 3.18 GAA and .901 SV% but has been reassigned to the Charlotte Checkers (AHL) in a surprise move Wednesday. Alex Lyon will head up to the Panthers as the 21-year-olds replacement.
Knight allowed four goals on 33 shots (.879 SV%) for his fourth loss in five starts as he was defeated by Dallas in his previous start 37 days ago (injury). The 21-year-old has had an up-and-down season, which led to his 9-7-3 record, 3.05 GAA and .906 SV%. He takes on the St. Louis Blues, who snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Arizona in their previous game.

Smith has two goals, nine assists, 47 SOG, 43 PIMs and a +2 plus/minus through 42 games this season and has earned himself a one-year, $775,000 contract extension Monday. This is great news for the 27-year-old who has 51 career NHL games under his belt.
Knight has been out since January 8th due to an upper-body injury and will return to the Panthers lineup as a backup netminder Monday. The 21-year-old had a 9-7-1 record, 3.05 GAA and .906 SV% prior to the injury.
Byram last played on Nov. 4th due to a lower-body injury but will rejoin the surging Colorado Avalanche Tuesday. The 21-year-old prospect had started his sophomore season off strong, with two goals, three assists, 11 SOG and a +3 plus/minus through his first 10 games prior to going down for months with the injury.
Knight went 1-1-0 while stopping 45 of 49 shots (.918 SV%) during his "conditioning stint" with Charlotte. Knight is expected to serve as Alex Lyon's backup on Monday and should start Tuesday in Pittsburgh. Knight has gone 9-7-3 with a 3.05 GAA and .906 SV% in 19 NHL games this season.
Bertuzzi did not play in the third period of Thursday's win in Vegas and is questionable to play Saturday. After he left the game, Jonatan Berggren moved up into his place on the third line, so expect that to continue on Saturday with Adam Erne drawing in on the fourth line.
Knight has been out since January 8th, so he'll go to the AHL for conditioning. With Sergei Bobrovsky getting hurt on Thursday, Knight may have to shoulder the load for the Panthers moving forward. It's unclear if Knight will return to the NHL for Saturday's game or not.
Bertuzzi left the Red Wings' previous game vs. Vegas after just 11:22 TOI due to a lower-body injury and is questionable to play Saturday when Detroit takes on Philadelphia. Bertuzzi has been back for only six games since his previous long-term injury so he will be hoping this is nothing serious.
Donato was a healthy scratch for the Krakens' previous contest but will draw back into the lineup Thursday as he replaces Morgan Geekie on Seattle's fourth line. The 26-year-old has eight goals, five assists, 58 SOG, 23 PIMs and a +11 plus/minus through 33 games played so far this year.
