Lagesson will draw in for Jake McCabe, who is a late scratch due to an illness. Lagesson has no goals and four assists in 29 games this season.

McCabe is a surprise scratch for Wednesday's game with the team not announcing his absence prior to the start of warmups. William Lagesson will likely draw into the lineup in his place.

Olofsson will fill the void left up front by the departure of Casey Mittelstadt. Olofsson has four goals and eight assists in 35 games this season.

Raanta has not played since February 8th due to a lower-body injury. The 34-year-old netminder owns a 12-7-2 record and an .872 SV% across 24 appearances this season.

Ingham was signed to a one-year, two-way contract worth an AAV of $775,000 and was instantly assigned to the Greenville Swamp Rabbits (ECHL). The 23-year-old has spent the majority of the season with Greenville and has an impressive 15-6-1 record, .916 SV% and 2.65 GAA. He's made six very strong appearances with Ontario (AHL) this season as well (.917 SV%).

Wennberg was a healthy scratch for the Seattle Kraken on Monday with his name circulating trade rumours, claims validated on Wednesday after being dealt to the New York Rangers. The 29-year-old Wennberg is an impending UFA and has seen his production dip in recent years. That said, he registered three points (1G / 2A) and six shots on goal in his last three games.

Rousek played five games with the Sabres earlier this season but has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign with the Rochester Americans (AHL). The 24-year-old winger has 38 points (10G / 28A) in 48 games with Rochester this season.

Carrick provides some depth in the Oilers' bottom six despite struggling offensively over the last two seasons with the Anaheim Ducks. In his last 113 games with the Ducks, Carrick has tallied only 18 points (11G / 7A), after scoring a more impressive 25 points (13G / 12A) in his previous 77.

Adam Henrique's name has circulated trade rumours, finally being materialized on Wednesday in a trade to the Edmonton Oilers. Henrique is pacing for the best offensive season of his career, already with 42 points (18G / 24A) in 60 games, just nine points less than his 51-point career high set in the 2011-12 season with the New Jersey Devils.

Seeler's name was circulating through trade rumours recently, but the Flyers opted to keep the 30-year-old defenseman after trading Sean Walker to the Colorado Avalanche. Seeler exited Monday's 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues in the third period after playing 16:57 and is currently on injured reserve on a week-to-week basis.

Mantha was acquired in a trade from the Washington Capitals for a 2024 second-round pick and a 2026 fourth-round pick. He will likely slot in on the third line with Paul Cotter and Nicolas Roy. Mantha scored 34 points (20G / 14A) in 56 games with the Capitals this season.

Pavel is an undrafted forward out of the Czech Republic who made his NHL debut with the Avalanche earlier this season. He is slated to play his second career game on Wednesday. Pavel has seven points (3G / 4A) in 48 games with the Colorado Eagles (AHL) this season.

Foudy was the 75th overall pick of the Avalanche in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft and is expected to make his season debut on Wednesday against the Detroit Red Wings. In 12 games with the Colorado Eagles (AHL), Foudy has six points (2G / 4A) this season.

Philp had the potential to make the Blackhawks' opening night roster but was placed on the injured reserve after undergoing Achilles surgery in the offseason. The 27-year-old forward appeared in three games for Chicago in 2022-23 and picked up an assist and two PIMs. He played the majority of last season in Rockford, where he had 29 goals, 53 points and a +17 plus/minus in 60 games played.

Comtois cleared through waivers after signing with the Hurricanes on Monday. The 25-year-old Comtois spent the last five seasons with the Anaheim Ducks, tallying 86 points (38G / 48A), 193 penalty minutes, and 373 hits in 210 games.

Terry played the last two games after returning from an injury, tallying one point (0G / 1A), but will return to the sidelines on Wednesday due to an upper-body injury. The Ducks will likely be hard-pressed to find offence on Wednesday night as they will also be without Adam Henrique, who was traded to the Edmonton Oilers earlier in the day.

Dostal has started two of the last three games and will return to the crease on Wednesday night. The Czech netminder has faced a heavy workload over his last two outings (1-1-0) and responded admirably, saving 81 of 86 shots .942 SV%. The Ducks, who traded Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick to the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday, are +168 home underdogs against the Ottawa Senators.
