Hughes (undisclosed) is questionable to play Tuesday in Buffalo.
Coleman will make his Flames debut on Monday.
Coleman missed the season opener while serving his one-game suspension but will play in the home opener vs. the Ducks on Monday. Coleman spent a lot of time on the top line in training camp but will open the season on the third line with Mikael Backlund and Milan Lucic.
Goalie Start
Gustavsson will start Sunday vs. the Stars.
Bogosian will miss 4-to-6 weeks with a lower-body injury.
Bogosian suffered a lower-body injury in practice on Wednesday and will miss at least one month. With Bogosian out, the Lightning recalled Andrej Sustr from Syracuse (AHL) to take his place.
Boldy is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks with a fractured left ankle.
Boldy suffered a fractured ankle in Thursday's preseason game vs. the Blackhawks. The injury will keep him sidelined until early-to-mid November and will likely force him to start the season in the AHL to get back up to speed.
Boldy will undergo an MRI after suffering a lower-body injury in Thursday's preseason game.
Boldy appeared to be on track to make the Wild out of training camp but now it looks like he could miss some time to start the season. The injury could open the door for fellow prospect Marco Rossi to make the team, but it's more likely that recent waiver pickup Rem Pitlick claims that spot.
The Canucks have re-signed Quinn Hughes to a six-year, $47.1 million contract.
The Wild have signed Kirill Kaprizov to a five-year contract worth $45.0 million ($9.0M AAV).
There was some concern whether or not Kaprizov would return to the Wild after signing a deal in the KHL this summer. However, the Wild were able to get him under contract for the next five years--presumably the best years of his career. At the age of 23-years-old, he dazzled in his rookie season, scoring 27 goals with 24 assists (51 points) in 55 games, winning the Calder Trophy. Coming into his second season, Kaprizov is a threat to finish at a point-per-game pace and should be considered one of the top LW options in fantasy.
The Senators have re-signed Filip Gustavsson to a two-year contract.
The Wild have signed Carson Lambos to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Flames have re-signed Justin Kirkland to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Wild have re-signed Mason Shaw to a two-year, two-way contract.
The Bruins have signed Nick Foligno to a two-year contract worth $7.6 million ($3.8M AAV).
The Predators have signed Michael McCarron to a two-year, two-way contract.
The Lightning have signed Zach Bogosian to a three-year deal worth $2.55 million ($850K AAV).
The Flames have signed Blake Coleman to a six-year contract worth $29.4 million ($4.9M AAV).
The Red Wings have signed Calvin Pickard to a one-year contract extension.
The Flames have acquired Tyler Pitlick from the Kraken for a 2022 fourth-round pick.
Pitlick was selected by Seattle in the Expansion Draft on Wednesday but was quickly flipped to the Flames for a fourth-round pick. Pitlick doesn't bring a lot of offence to the table but has a trustworthy two-way game that should pair well with Mikael Backlund and help out the Flames penalty kill in 2021-22.
The Sharks have signed Dylan Gambrell to a one-year contract extension.
Gambrell was a second-round pick of the Sharks in 2016 and has turned into a decent bottom-6 option for them over the last two season. He has compiled 10 goals and 13 assists (23 points) in 99 games over that stretch and will likely centre the third or fourth line when 2021-22 starts.
