Chicago Blackhawks News
The Predators have placed Ryan Ellis (upper-body) on IR.
Ellis was knocked out of the Winter Classic after being elbowed in the face by Corey Perry early in the first period. The Predators are still calling it an "upper-body injury" but it sure looked like a concussion. The Predators used the roster spot to call-up, Alexandre Carrier, from Milwaukee (AHL).
The Maple Leafs have placed Ilya Mikheyev (wrist) on IR.
Mikheyev had to undergo wrist surgery after getting cut by a skate on Friday night and will miss at least three months. He could eventually be moved to LTIR to provide the Maple Leafs with some salary relief but for now, he is on regular IR to open up a roster spot to call-up Timothy Liljegren.
Mikheyev underwent surgery to repair an artery and tendons in his wrist on Friday and will miss at least three months.
Mikheyev had his wrist cut by a skate during Friday's overtime win over the Devils and was rushed to a nearby hospital immediately. Mikheyev underwent successful surgery and will be re-evaluated in three months. This timeline would make it possible for Mikheyev to return for a potential playoff run.
Burakovsky (upper-body) will return to the Avalanche lineup in Montreal.
Burakovsky (upper-body) will not play on Wednesday.
Burakovsky was on the ice for Colorado's morning skate but will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury. Monitor Burakovsky's status prior to Thursday's game in Montreal.
Line Change
Donato will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
Donato has appeared in 25 of 27 games this season but will be replaced by Victor Rask on Tuesday. Donato has picked up two goals and one assist in his last four games.
Burakovsky (upper-body) will miss his second straight game on Saturday.
The Coyotes have acquired Vili Saarijarvi from the Red Wings for Eric Comrie.
Saarijarvi was a third-round pick (No.73 overall) in 2015 and never really got things going in the AHL. After posting 31 points (11G / 20A) in 34 games in his final OHL season, Saarijarvi posted just 28 points (2G / 26A) in 125 AHL games. He will report to Tucson (AHL).
Line Change
Foligno has served his three-game suspension and will play vs. the Red Wings.
Foligno will replace Riley Nash in his return to the lineup and will look to get things going offensively. Foligno has scored just one goal with six assists in 17 games this season.
The Panthers have recalled Dominic Toninato from Springfield (AHL).
Toninato appeared in three games with Panthers earlier this season before returning to the AHL. The 22-year-old forward has scored five goals with three assists (eight points) in 15 games with Springfield this season and will replace Dryden Hunt on the Panthers fourth line on Tuesday.
Weber (illness) is expected to play on Tuesday.
Weber missed Monday's practice and Tuesday's morning skate but head coach Claude Julien still expects him to play vs. the Blue Jackets. This is great news for Montreal because Weber has been scorching hot as of late, scoring five goals with six assists (11 points) in his last 11 games while playing 22:46 ATOI.
Foligno has been suspended for three games for elbowing Pierre-Edouard Bellemare.
The Panthers have sent Dominic Toninato to Springfield (AHL).
Toninato, 25, had one goal in three games with the Panthers during his call-up. Toninato's return to the AHL suggests that Noel Acciari will return to the lineup on Tuesday. Toninato has six points (4G / 2A) in 12 AHL games this season.
Line Change
Donato will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday.
Donato played just 6:59 TOI last night and has produced just two helpers in 11 games this season, so with Kevin Fiala healthy, the Wild won’t hesitate to change up a losing lineup.
The Blackhawks have placed Connor Murphy (groin) on LTIR.
Murphy suffered a groin injury in Tuesday's shootout loss to the Golden Knights and his move to LTIR provides the Blackhawks with some cap relief but also means he'll miss at least 11 games. Dennis Gilbert was recalled from Rockford (AHL) and either he or Slater Koekkoek will replace Murphy. This also helps explain the trade for Ian McCoshen on Tuesday as the team looked to address organizational depth on the back-end.
Murphy (groin) will make his season debut on Thursday.
Murphy missed the Blackhawks season opener but will draw into the lineup on Thursday. Murphy, who had 13 points (5G / 8A) in 52 games last year, will skate on the third pair with Slater Koekkoek.
The Penguins have recalled Sam Lafferty from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) on an emergency basis.
Lafferty was a fourth-round pick of the Penguins back in 2014 and he is expected to make his NHL debut on Tuesday because Evgeni Malkin and Nick Bjugstad are out with lower-body injuries. Lafferty was held pointless in his first AHL game of this season but had 49 points (13G / 46A) in 70 games last year.
Dickinson will miss at least one week with an upper-body injury.
Dickinson played just 6:14 TOI before leaving Thursday’s game with an upper-body injury. With Blake Comeau also suffering an injury last night, the Stars have recalled Nick Caamano and Rhett Gardner from Texas (AHL).
Dickinson is expected to miss at least one week with an upper-body injury.
Dickinson was cross-checked in the Stars season opener and is expected to be sidelined for at least a week. The Stars will need to recall a forward from Texas (AHL) to replace Dickinson on Saturday.
