Kamenev will be back in the Colorado lineup on Sunday.
Hinostroza (personal) will be back in the Blackhawks lineup on Sunday.
Hinostroza missed Saturday's game to attend to a family matter, but he will be back in this afternoon. Hinostroza will replace Anthony Duclair, who suffered a lower-body injury in yesterday's loss in Boston.
Hinostroza (personal) will not play on Saturday.
Hinostroza is dealing with a family matter and will not play on Saturday. John Hayden was an emergency recall from Rockford (AHL) and will replace Hinostroza in the lineup today.
The Kings have re-assigned Wedgewood to Ontario (AHL).
Waiver Move
The Kings have placed Wedgewood on waivers.
The Canadiens have recalled Juulsen from Laval (AHL).
The Kings have acquired Wedgewood and Tobias Rieder in exchange for Darcy Kuemper.
Mackinnon will return to the lineup Sunday against the Oilers.
Mackinnon was back skating with Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen at practice on Saturday. He has 61 points in 49 games for the Avalanche this season (24G/37A). Colorado went 4-4 without Mackinnon in the lineup.
Mackinnon (shoulder) will not play in Winnipeg on Friday.
Mackinnon appeared to be ready to return as he was a full participant at Thursday's practice, but shortly after the Avs announced he would not be travelling to Winnipeg. His next chance to return is Sunday vs. Edmonton.
Hinostroza will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
Goalie Start
Wedgewood will start Tuesday in San Jose.
MacKinnon (shoulder) returned to practice in a no-contact jersey on Tuesday.
MacKinnon is two weeks into a 2-4 week timetable, so he appears to be right on track in his recovery. The next step is for MacKinnon to ditch the no-contact sweater, which could happen later this week. MacKinnon will need a few practices before he’s set to return to the lineup.
Goalie Start
Wedgewood starts Saturday in Los Angeles.
Line Change
Kulak will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
MacKinnon (upper-body) will miss 2-4 weeks.
MacKinnon is expected to miss 7-to-10 days with a shoulder injury.
It looks like the Avalanche avoided disaster here as MacKinnon’s shoulder injury is only expected to sideline him for about one week. The Avalanche likely won’t disclose a full timetable until Thursday but the preliminary indications are positive. MacKinnon won’t play Thursday but has not officially been ruled out for Saturday’s game.
MacKinnon is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will not play Thursday in Edmonton.
MacKinnon was hurt in Tuesday’s overtime loss in Vancouver and won’t play in Edmonton. This is a horrible loss for the Avalanche, who have been absolutely carried by MacKinnon since the Matt Duchene trade. Since then, MacKinnon leads the NHL with 49 points (21G / 28A) in 36 games. It sounds like he is more day-to-day than long-term so monitor his status heading into the weekend.
Schwartz (ankle) has been activated from IR and is expected to return to the Blues lineup on Thursday.
Call up / Send down
The Devils have recalled Mackenzie Blackwood from Binghamton (AHL).
Blackwood, 21, was a second round pick (No.42 overall) in 2015 and has earned a call-up because Cory Schneider (lower-body) and Keith Kinkaid (groin) are both hurt. Blackwood, who has gone 5-12-0 with a 3.64 GAA and .877 SV% in 23 games with Binghamton, will backup Ken Appleby on Thursday.
