The Avalanche have recalled Kiefer Sherwood from Colorado (AHL).

Sherwood has been great in the AHL this season, leading the league with seven goals and tied for third in points (10). With Mikko Rantanen and Andre Burakovsky likely unavailable, Sherwood will make his season debut on Wednesday. The 26-year-old has 16 points (6G / 10A) in 76 career NHL games.

The Capitals have recalled Brett Leason from Hershey (AHL).

Leason was a second-round pick of the Capitals in 2019 and gets called up after T.J. Oshie was placed on IR with a lower-body injury. Leason has scored 10 goals with 11 assists (21 points) in his last 38 AHL games dating back to the start of last season. It would be his NHL debut if he gets into the lineup on Friday.

The Avalanche have recalled Martin Kaut from Colorado (AHL).

Kaut has picked up two assists in his first two AHL games this season and could make his season debut with Colorado on Tuesday. The Avalanche played with just 11 forwards on Saturday, so both Kaut and Mikhail Maltsev should draw in vs. the Capitals.

Gaudette will make his season debut Friday in New Jersey.

Gaudette was a healthy scratch in the Blackhawks season opener but will replace Ryan Carpenter in the lineup on Friday. Gaudette impressed after being traded to Chicago late last season, scoring one goal with three assists in just seven games. However, a bottom-6 role likely won't lead to a whole lot of production in 2021-22.
