The Maple Leafs have signed Calle Rosen to a two-year extension worth $1.5M ($750K AAV).

Rosen figures to be a part of the Maple Leafs NHL plans in 2018-19 after signing him to a one-way deal. Rosen is an undrafted free agent who came over from Sweden. He has taken his offensive game to a new-level this year, picking up 19 points (2G / 17A) in 24 games with the Marlies.

The Blues have recalled Jordan Binnington from San Antonio (AHL).

With Jake Allen and Chad Johnson struggling in the Blues crease, it looks like St. Louis will go with three goalies for a little bit. Binnington is a former third-round pick, who has gone 8-4-0 with a 2.34 GAA and .914 SV% in 13 games with the Rampage this season. Binnington could make his first NHL appearance since the 2015-16 season this week.

Fowler will undergo surgery for a facial fracture and is out indefinitely.

Fowler suffered what the Ducks described as a “complex right facial fracture involving the orbital bone, cheekbone and upper-jaw bone” when he was hit in the face by a puck on Monday. Fowler will undergo surgery on Friday and a more detailed timetable will be released when they know more.

Buchnevich will miss 4-6 weeks with a broken thumb.

Buchnevich, who has served as a healthy scratch a few times, started playing well right before getting hurt. Buchnevich picked up two goals and two assists in his last three games, but will miss at least one month after suffering a broken thumb on Saturday. This leaves the Rangers without two of their best right-wingers, Buchnevich and Mats Zuccarello.
