Zuccarello missed the last two games with a hand injury he suffered vs. the Jets last Friday. Zuccarello, who has three goals and four assists (seven points) in his last five games, will be back on the top line and top power-play unit vs. the Devils.



With Gustav Forsling out week-to-week, Kiersted will be in the lineup on Tuesday and could get an extended run on the Panthers' blueline. The 23-year-old started the season in the AHL, scoring six points (2G / 4A) in 16 games. He has one assist in nine career NHL games.


Zuccarello left Friday's game with an undisclosed injury after scoring two goals in 12:52 TOI. He missed Saturday's practice because he was "sore," so he'll be a game-time decision on Sunday.


With Max Pacioretty and Will Carrier returning on Wednesday and Adam Brooks emerging, the Golden Knights have returned three forwards to the AHL. Jones failed to record a point in two NHL games but has six points (4G / 2A) in 12 AHL games.

Spurgeon suffered a lower-body injury early in Saturday's game in Florida and is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. Calen Addison was recalled from the AHL but did not play Sunday, but could be an option to replace him moving forward.




Jones was a seventh-round draft pick in 2017 and set to make his NHL debut after 86 AHL games and eight ECHL games. He has four goals and two assists (six points) in 12 AHL games this season.


Aube-Kubel was claimed off of waivers from the Flyers and is set to make his debut in Vancouver. Aube-Kubel will skate on the third line with Alex Newhook and Tyson Jost and is expected to see time on PP1.

Boldy suffered a fractured ankle in early October and is set to make his season debut with Iowa. The 20-year-old had 18 points (6G / 12A) in 14 AHL games last season. If he has that kind of production again, expect him to make a quick return to Minnesota.



Aube-Kubel was a second-round pick of the Flyers in 2014 and was a regular member of their team in 2020-21. The 25-year-old had 12 points (3G / 9A) in 50 games last year but was buried on the depth this year. He now heads to Colorado, where he'll likely battle with Kiefer Sherwood for a spot in the bottom-6.
