Edmundson's rehab for his lower-back injury is progressing, but there's still no timeline for his return to the Canadiens lineup. Edmundson skated before Monday's practice but has yet to join his teammates for a team session.
Missing one to two weeks would mean that Armia would miss at least three games. The injury opens the door for No.1 overall pick Juraj Slafkovsky to start the season with the Canadiens.
Brassard was with the Senators on a PTO and signed a one-year deal on Monday. The 35-year-old had eight goals and 11 assists (19 points) in 46 games with the Flyers and Oilers last season.
Samorukov was a third-round pick (No.84 overall) in 2017 and cleared waivers on Saturday. Samorukov, who had 18 points (3G / 15A) in 51 AHL games last season, will report to Springfield (AHL).
Kostin was a first-round pick (No.31 overall) in 2017 and cleared waivers on Friday. The 23-year-old forward split the 2022 season between the NHL and AHL. He had nine points (4G / 5A) in 40 games with the Blues. He'll report to Bakersfield (AHL) to start the 2023 season.
Sheahan has been dealing with an injury throughout the pre-season and will open the year on injured reserve. Once healthy, Sheahan will battle with Zemgus Girgensons, Rasmus Asplund and Vinnie Hinostroza for playing time.
Hagg re-joined the Red Wings on Friday for the first time since taking a puck to the head in a scrimmage in late September. Hagg, who signed a one-year deal with the Red Wings in the summer, is expected to open the season as their No.6 defenseman next to Gustav Lindstrom. The 27-year-old had nine points (1G / 8A) in 64 NHL games with the Sabres and Panthers in 2021-22.
Edvinsson was the No.6 overall pick in 2021 and enjoyed a solid preseason, recording one assist with 10 shots on goal in five games. Edvinsson will start the season in the AHL but will likely be the first defenseman to be called up when the Red Wings need a blueliner.
Harley was set to play more meaningful minutes in 2022-23, but the acquisition of Nils Lundkvist pushed him back to the AHL. Harley had 11 assists in 27 AHL games and four points (1G / 3A) in 34 NHL games a season ago.
Korpisalo underwent hip surgery in March and did not appear in a preseason game. Korpisalo is at practice but is expected to start the season on IR and will continue to work to get back to 100 percent. Daniil Tarasov is expected to open the season as Elvis Merzlikins' backup.
Kaut cleared waivers on Sunday and was sent to the AHL, where he had 31 points (19G / 12A) in 46 games a season ago. He appeared on track for a bottom-6 role with the Avalanche but will start the year with the Eagles.
Zohorna was acquired via waivers from the Penguins but was waived again on Saturday. He cleared this time, making him eligible to be sent to the AHL. The 26-year-old winger had 21 points (12G / 9A) in 39 AHL games a season ago.
Gibson stopped 16 of 19 shots in the first period but was replaced by Anthony Stolarz for the start of the second period. The Ducks announced that Gibson was dealing with an upper-body injury.

Valimaki was a first-round pick in 2017 and has collected 16 points (3G / 13A) in 82 career NHL games with the Flames. Last season he spent most of the year in Stockton (AHL), where he had 18 points (2G / 16A) in 35 games. In Arizona, he should be able to land a role on the third pairing.
Schwartz suffered a lower-body injury in Friday's preseason game and did not participate in Saturday's practice. Head coach Dave Hakstol called Schwartz day-to-day but did not provide any insight on whether or not he would be available for Wednesday's season opener.
Blais opened training camp on a line with Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider but has since dropped down the depth chart and is now banged up. Blais shouldn't carry any fantasy value heading into the 2022-23 season. If he misses the Rangers' season opener, expect Vitaly Kravtsov to get into the lineup.
The Coyotes picked Johansson up on waivers and he was only able to appear in one preseason game before getting hurt. The lack of evaluation could hurt Johansson's chance of landing the No.2 role behind Karel Vejmelka.
Sergachev was banged up in Thursday's preseason game and has yet to practice since, but head coach Jon Cooper expects him to play good-to-go on Tuesday. Sergachev had seven goals and 31 assists (38 points) in 78 games a season ago.
