Sturm, who was acquired from Minnesota for Tyson Jost on Tuesday, will start his Avalanche career on the third line with Alex Newhook and J.T. Compher on his wings. Sturm has scored 20 goals with 16 assists (36 points) in 111 career NHL games.
The Avalanche frees up $1.275 million in AAV with this swap and acquire a bigger centre to play in their bottom-6. Sturm was an undrafted free agent out of Clarkson University, who has scored nine goals with eight assists (17 points) in 53 games with the Wild this season.
Bogosian has been out since January 15th due to a lower-body injury but will suit up against his former team on Tuesday. The 31-year-old has scored two goals with four assists (six points) in 23 games this season.
Gambrell tweaked something in the morning skate and will not be available for Tuesday's game vs. Minnesota, so the Senators will need to call-up a forward from the AHL.
Gustavsson stopped 31 of 33 shots in the Senators' loss to the Rangers on Sunday. With Matt Murray (personal) unavailable on Tuesday, Gustavsson will likely serve as Anton Forsberg's backup vs. the Wild.
Sturm will be a healthy scratch for the first time all season, making way for Nick Bjugstad (upper-body) to play for the first time since the Winter Classic.
Hughes missed three games while in COVID-19 protocol but is eligible to play Thursday in San Jose. The Canucks would not announce who will come out to make room for Hughes but it should be either Brad Hunt or Kyle Burroughs.
Foligno was suspended for two games for kneeing Adam Lowry last Tuesday but is set to play tonight in Winnipeg, vs. Lowry and the Jets. Foligno, who has had an outstanding season (17G / 10A), will be back on a line with Joel Eriksson Ek and Jordan Greenway.
Gambrell was a healthy scratch in Washington on Sunday but he will replace Mark Kastelic in the lineup on Tuesday. Gambrell has scored one goal with two assists (three points) in 29 games with the Senators this season.
Pitlick never found his groove with the Flames, registering just two assists in 25 games. He gets sent to Montreal to help clear salary space for the Flames to bring on Toffoli. He'll likely play a similar, bottom-6 role in Montreal.
Foligno kneed Lowry during a fight on Tuesday night and will miss Saturday's game vs. Carolina and Monday's game vs. Detroit. Foligno will be eligible to return next Wednesday in Winnipeg. Brandon Duhaime will move up to the third line while Foligno is out.
Foligno missed four games with an upper-body injury but will play Tuesday vs. the Penguins. Folgino will sub back into the lineup on the fourth line, replacing Anton Blidh.
Foligno skated on the fourth line in Monday's practice session and may be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Foligno has picked ups just one goal and six assists (seven points) in 26 games this season.
Foligno missed the final two games before the All-Star break but is set to play Tuesday in Winnipeg. Foligno was back in a familiar spot with Joel Eriksson Ek and Jordan Greenway in Monday's practice. Foligno has scored four goals with four assists (eight points) in his last nine games.
Hughes will miss at least five days and two games after being added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Monday. If he misses the minimum amount of time, he'll be eligible to play Saturday vs. the Maple Leafs. Hughes has picked up eight assists in 15 games since the Christmas break. Expect Oliver Ekman-Larsson to take over as the quarterback on the Canucks' top power-play unit.
