Following the trade of Jack Campbell to the Maple Leafs, Petersen was recalled to be the Kings' new No.2 netminder. The 25-year-old is a former fifth-round pick (2013) who has gone 17-15-4 with a 3.43 GAA and .906 SV% in 37 AHL games this season. In a brief run with the Kings last year, Petersen was 5-4-1 with a 2.61 GAA and .924 SV%.
Even with Buffalo going with seven defensemen on Tuesday, Bogosian will be the odd man out. He played in the final two games before their bye week but will sit as a healthy scratch for the third time in six games when the Sabres host the Senators. Colin Miller takes his place in the lineup.
Trenin played in seven games before the bye week but was a healthy scratch in the last game. The 23-year-old has six points (2G / 4A) in 13 games with the Predators this season.
Trenin has appeared in seven straight games, picking up one goal and three assists but heads back to the AHL, where he has 26 points (14G / 12A) in 20 games this season. Austin Watson will likely replace him on Saturday.
Bogosian was a healthy scratch on Saturday but will draw in as a seventh defenseman on Sunday. Bogosian will replace Jimmy Vesey.
Vesey was promoted to the top line on Saturday but will come out of the lineup in Detroit. The Sabres will go back to 11 forwards and seven defensemen, re-inserting Zach Bogosian into the lineup.
The Sabres went with seven defensemen in St. Louis on Thursday but will go back to 12/6 today, so look for Evan Rodrigues to replace Bogosian as the 12th forward.
With Mikko Koivu expected to return to the Wild's lineup on Tuesday, Sturm heads back to Iowa where he has 12 points (6G / 6A) in 25 games this season.
Trenin comes back up after a six-game stint before the Christmas break, where he had one goal and one assist. Trenin will replace Colton Sissons on the roster after he was moved to IR. The former second-round pick has 14 goals and 12 assists (26 points) in 20 AHL games this year.
Eriksson Ek has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury but will play Monday vs. the Flames. With Eriksson Ek back in, Luke Johnson was sent back to Iowa (AHL).
Spurgeon has missed the last seven games with a broken bone in his right hand and will be a game-time decision Thursday in Arizona. Spurgeon's original timetable was two weeks and it has been 15 days, so this would be right on schedule. The Wild went 3-3-1 without Spurgeon.
Pitlick missed the last two games but will replace Chris Stewart in the lineup vs. Buffalo. Pitlick, who has just six points (2G / 4A) in 28 games this season, will skate on the fourth line with Mikhail Vorobyev and Andy Andreoff.
Eriksson Ek missed Sunday's game in Chicago with an upper-body injury that he suffered Saturday vs. the Flyers. With Eriksson Ek going on IR, the Wild have recalled Luke Johnson and Nico Sturm from Iowa (AHL).
Sturm has been called up on several occasions this season but has yet to appear in a game with the Wild in 2019-20. The 24-year-old centre could make his season debut this week with Joel Eriksson Ek going on IR.
