The Ducks have recalled Shea Theodore from San Diego (AHL).
McNabb is expected to make his season debut on Friday.
After sitting out the season opener on Wednesday, McNabb is expected to replace Matt Greene in the lineup tonight vs. the Coyotes. McNabb had 24 points (2G / 22A) in 71 games with the Kings last season.
Hanifin has made the Hurricanes opening night roster.
Hanifin was the fifth overall pick in this summer’s draft and had an impressive enough training camp to make the Hurricanes opening night roster. Carolina could elect to give him an extended nine game look to start the season, before making the decision to burn the first year of his entry level deal.
The Blue Jackets have signed Brandon Saad to a six-year deal worth $36M.
The Panthers have acquired Reilly Smith and Marc Savard’s contract from the Bruins for Jimmy Hayes.
The Sabres have signed Jack Eichel to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Selected second overall in the 2015 NHL Draft, Eichel joins the organization after a standout season at Boston University (NCAA-Hockey East) in which he became the second freshman – after Paul Kariya in 1993 – ever to earn the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as college hockey’s top player. Eichel led all NCAA players with 71 points (26G / 45A) in 40 games in 2014-15.
The Blue Jackets acquired Brandon Saad, Alex Broadhurst and Michael Paliotta from the Blackhawks for Artem Anisimov, Marko Dano, Corey Tropp, Jeremy Morin and a 2016 4th round pick.
The Hurricanes have selected Noah Hanifin with the 5th overall pick in the NHL Draft.
The Leafs have selected Mitchell Marner with the 4th overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft.
The Sabres have selected Jack Eichel with the 2nd overall pick in the 2015 draft.
The Senators signed Mark Stone to a three-year contract worth $10.5M.
Stone, 23, was one of the hottest players in the final few months of the season and earned himself a rookie of the year nomination. The former sixth-round pick led all rookies with 64 points (26G / 38A) in 80 games. Stone heads into 2015-16 in search of his first career 30-goal season.
Stone (wrist) will be a game-time decision for Game 2.
Stone only skated for eight minutes this morning, but is still listed as a game-time decision. He is reportedly dealing with a micro fracture in his right wrist and he is expected to test it in pre-game warmups. Expect Stone to play if it is determined that he cannot do any further damage to the wrist.
Stone has a microfracture in his right wrist; status unknown for remainder of the series.
Stone was injured when he was slashed by P.K Subban in Game 1. Subban was assessed a game misconduct for the slash, but will be back for Game 2, but it does not look like Stone will be. The Senators called him “very questionable” to play again in the series. This is a huge loss for the Senators. Stone came in as one of the NHL’s hottest players.
Pietrangelo not on the ice in warmups; not expected to play.
Hertl (illness) is not expected to play on Monday.
Hertl missed the morning skate on Monday and is not expected to be in the lineup tonight. Bryan Lerg has been recalled and could be making his NHL debut with Hertl out.
