Biro (upper body) was activated off the injured reserve and reassigned to Rochester (AHL) on Monday. The 25-year-old winger returns to the minors after scoring two goals in two games with the Sabres but has not played since November 3rd.
With Minnesota allowed to carry an extra skater as they head to Sweden for their upcoming Global Series Daemon Hunt has been recalled from Iowa (AHL). The 21-year-old is not expected to crack the Wild lineup but if he does he will build off his zero points, and three SOG through five games that he had during his previous call-up.
Lockwood has failed to pick up a point through seven games so far in 2023-24 with averaging 7:26 TOI with eight SOG and has been loaned to Charlotte (AHL) Monday. The 25-year-old right-winger returns to the Checkers, where he excelled early in the season with two goals, three points and four PIMs in two games.
Georgiev allowed six goals on 28 shots before being relieved by Ivan Prosvetov on Saturday but will likely get a chance to redeem himself as the expected starter for the Avalanche on Monday. Georgiev's play has been horrid lately, allowing four or more goals in five of his last seven contests (3-4-0) and losing four of his last five (1-4-0) while posting a .832 SV%. Working in Georgiev's favour is his strong track record against the Seattle Kraken. In his only contest against the Kraken this season, Georgiev saved 37 of 38 shots (.974 SV%) and posted a 1.64 GAA and .925 SV% in three games against them last season (3-0-0).
Laferriere has played all 14 games with the Kings this season, registering three points (2G / 1A) and 28 shots on goal. The first-year winger has most recently played on a line with Pierre-Luc Dubois and Arthur Kaliyev.
Roslovic played the entire game for the Blue Jackets on Sunday but suffered an undisclosed injury at some point and has since been placed on the injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least one week. Roslovic was off to a strong start this season, tallying eight points (2G / 6A) in 14 games and 29 shots while averaging 16:31 time-on-ice. Kent Johnson, who was sent down to Cleveland (AHL) last week, could be an option to replace Roslovic's offence for the Blue Jackets should they opt to recall him.
Studnicka was placed on unconditional waivers by the Vancouver Canucks with the intention of reassigning him to the Abbotsford Canucks of the AHL. In five games this season, Studnicka has one point (1G / 0A) and a +2 plus/minus rating.
Eberle remains day-to-day and will miss his third-straight game after being cut near a quad muscle by a skate blade at practice last week. The 33-year-old right-winger had been off to a slow start to begin his 2023-24 season as he has one goal, three assists, 28 SOG, nine PIMs and a -8 plus/minus through 13 games played. Brandon Tanev will be a game-time decision on Monday and could be an option to slot into Seattle's top six with Eberle out of the lineup.
Tanev, who has not played since the season opener on October 10th, is a possibility to return on Monday against the Colorado Avalanche. Tanev had a career-high 35 points (16G / 19A) in 82 games last season and would likely slot in on the second line with Jared McCann and Alexander Wennberg.
Adam Boqvist seems to be the odd man out of the Blue Jackets lineup as Jiricek skated alongside Jake Bean at the team's morning skate on Tuesday. Jiricek last played for the Blue Jackets on November 4th, recording one assist and one shot in 12:06 time-on-ice. The 19-year-old Czech defender has three points (1G / 2A) in 10 games with the Blue Jackets this season.
Athanasiou played only 8:48 on Thursday after suffering an undisclosed injury that kept him out of the lineup on Sunday, subsequently making him week-to-week going forward. The speedy forward was averaging 12:45 through 11 games this season, tallying four points (0G / 4A) and 20 shots on goal in the process.
Daccord will be the likely starter for the Kraken on Monday as they take on the Colorado Avalanche. The Kraken typically opt to start Philipp Grubauer against his former team, but after allowing four goals on 13 shots in the first period against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday, the team will turn to Daccord. Daccord saved all nine shots he faced coming in relief of Grubauer for the final two periods on Saturday and has a 2.59 GAA and .913 SV% in seven games this season (2-1-3). The Kraken are +138 home underdogs against an Avalanche team that has lost five of their last seven games (2-5-0), being shut out three times in that span.
Jones will join the Maple Leafs as they head to Sweden as part of the NHL Global Series. The veteran netminder will unlikely see any action during the Maple Leafs team's two-game series in Sweden but will provide the team with goaltending depth behind Ilya Samsonov and Joseph Woll.
Pelech has been out of the lineup since November 7th with a lower-body injury but could be an option to return for the Islanders on Monday night. Pelech is averaging 20:22 time-on-ice through 10 games this season, tallying one point (0G / 1A), 22 blocks, and 12 hits.
Petersen recorded his first victory in nearly a calendar year, saving 35 of 37 shots (.946 SV%) in a 4-2 victory over his former team, the Los Angeles Kings. Petersen being loaned to Lehigh Valley (AHL) is a likely sign that Carter Hart is on the verge of returning to the Flyers lineup.
Mete played 10:52 time-on-ice Saturday, his first game of the season, failing to record a point, shot, or hit in the Flyers 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. He has now been loaned to Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the AHL, where he has one point (0G / 1A) in five games this season.
McBain, in his third NHL season, was pacing to crush his career-highs, with seven points (4G / 3A) in 13 games this season. He did not play on Saturday and will be out week-to-week with an upper-body injury. The Coyotes have recalled Milos Kelemen as a potential roster replacement during McBain's absence.
Gushchin was the 76th overall pick of the Sharks in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He played his first two NHL games last season, tallying two points (1G / 1A) with the Sharks. This season with the Barracuda, Gushchin has 13 points (4G / 9A) in 11 games. In a corresponding move, Oskar Lindblom was reassigned to the AHL.
With Jack McBain (lower-body) out week-to-week, the Coyotes have recalled Kelemen from the Tuscon Roadrunners of the AHL. The 24-year-old Slovak has six points (2G / 4A) in 11 games with the Roadrunners this season and recorded one point (1G / 0A) along with 23 penalty minutes in a 14-game stint with the Coyotes in the 2022-23 season.
Fasching, along with Matt Martin, will be healthy scratches on Monday, allowing Julien Gauthier and Oliver Wahlstrom to draw back into the lineup. Faschin has tallied one point (0G / 1A) in eight games this season, averaging 11:53 time-on-ice.
