The Capitals have signed Nic Dowd to a one-year deal worth $650K.
The Flames acquired Noah Hanifin and Elias Lindholm from the Hurricanes for Dougie Hamilton, Michael Ferland and Adam Fox.
Hanifin is coming off of the best season of his young career, picking up 10 goals and 22 assists (32 points) in 79 games. Playing on the best possession team in hockey, Hanifin had an impressive +2.8 relative Corsi. The 21-year-old is an RFA who the Flames will have to sign this summer. Matt Cane of HockeyGraphs predicts a two-year bridge deal worth $4.672M ($2.336M AAV).
Hanifin (concussion) will be back in the lineup on Saturday.
Hagg will be a healthy scratch on Thursday.
Hanifin is out indefinitely with a concussion.
Hanifin missed Sunday’s game in Brooklyn with a concussion that he suffered against the Flyers on Saturday. With just 10 games left in the regular season, there’s a chance that Hanifin’s season could be over. Concussions are tricky and there’s no sense risking him getting hurt with the Hurricanes’ season basically over.
The Flames have recalled Rasmus Andersson from Stockton (AHL).
Andersson allowed eight goals on 30 shots (38 points) in 53 games with the Heat this season. Andersson comes up because T.J. Brodie suffered an upper-body injury last night. Andersson has not picked up a point in two career NHL games.
Hanifin (upper-body) will not play on Sunday.
Hagg (lower-body) will be back in the Flyers lineup on Sunday.
Eichel (ankle) will return to the Sabres lineup on Saturday.
The Coyotes have reassigned Adin Hill to Tucson (AHL).
Hill’s return to the AHL suggests that Antti Raanta is set to return from his lower-body injury on Saturday. Hill has gone 14-10-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .911 SV% with the Roadrunners this season.
Eichel (ankle) will not play on Thursday.
Despite practicing on Tuesday and Wednesday, Eichel is not ready to return to the Sabres lineup on Thursday. Regardless, he is obviously getting close to a return to the lineup, so monitor his status heading into Saturday’s game vs. the Blackhawks.
Goalie Start
Hill led the Coyotes onto the ice for warmups.
Stone (leg) will not make the trip to Florida.
Stone suffered a leg injury against the Flames on Friday and won’t travel with the team for Monday’s game. Marian Gaborik is expected to move up the lineup to replace Stone.
Hagg will miss two weeks with a lower-body injury.
Hagg must have suffered an injury in Boston on Thursday and will miss at least two weeks. With Johnny Oduya (undisclosed) also hurt, Travis Sanheim has been recalled from Lehigh Valley (AHL) and will play on Saturday.
The Coyotes have recalled Adin Hill from Tucson (AHL).
Antti Raanta was scheduled to start on Monday but was a very late scratch due to some tightness. Hill’s call-up suggests that Raanta is going to miss at least one game and Hill will backup Darcy Kuemper on Wednesday. Hill has gone 14-10-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .911 SV% with Tucson this season.
Theodore (illness) will be back in the Golden Knights lineup on Friday.
Theodore has missed the last six games with an illness, but will play on Friday. Theodore will replace Luca Sbisa, who is heading to IR. The young defenseman has picked up four goals and 14 assists (18 points) in 42 games in his first year with Vegas.
Theodore (illness) still won't re-join the Golden Knights lineup on Tuesday.
Theodore (illness) was activated from IR but won't return to the lineup on Monday.
Theodore (illness) is questionable for Monday’s game vs. the Kings.
Theodore has missed the last four games with an illness, but head coach Gerard Gallant said that he’s had a couple of good skates and is possible for Monday’s contest. Theodore has been held pointless in his last eight contests.
