Gilmour did not appear in a game during his most recent call-up. Lawrence Pilut will take his spot on the roster with Gilmour returning to the AHL, where he has 13 points (6G / 7A) in 32 games this season.
Pilut has not recorded a point in 11 NHL games this season but has 23 points (6G / 17A) in 37 games with Rochester. The 24-year-old could remain with the Sabres through the remainder of the season and could be an important part of their playoff push.
Dal Colle was forced to leave Tuesday's loss to the Rangers after being on the receiving end of a devastating hit from Jacob Trouba. Dal Colle will be back on a line with J-G Pageau and Josh Bailey in St. Louis. He has 10 points (4G / 6A) in 48 games this season.
Jacobs was a second-round pick (No.41 overall) in 2014 and has appeared in just one NHL game since. He has spent the entire 2020 season with Binghamton, scoring five goals with nine assists (14 points) in 50 games. He'll join the Devils for their morning skate and could make his season debut in San Jose.
Jones allowed three goals on 25 shots in the Sharks loss to the Islanders on Sunday. Jones has started just three of the last 11 games, going 1-2-0 despite allowing just five goals on 89 shots (.944 SV%). On Thursday he faces a Devils team that has gone 3-5-0 while scoring just 2.63 goals per game in their last eight road games.
Kase will play for the first time since February 7th and the first time in a Bruins uniform. Kase, who has just seven goals in 49 games, had impressive shot volume (2.8 SOG/gm) while playing under 17 minutes per game in Anaheim. Skating on the second line with David Krejci should help Kase maintain that shot volume and maybe improve on it, making him a strong waiver wire pickup.
Andersen allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Maple Leafs win of the Lightning on Tuesday. It was a huge win for Toronto, who have another massive game on-tap tonight. Andersen was pulled in his first start vs. the Panthers and was injured in the second--allowing a combined five goals on just 20 shots (.750 SV%).
Howard was pulled after he allowed four goals on 16 shots in the Red Wings loss in Pittsburgh on February 16th. Howard is winless in his last 19 starts, going 0-17-2 with a 4.46 GAA and .876 SV%. Tonight he faces a Wild team that has won three of his last four (3-1-0) while averaging 3.75 goals for and 3.50 goals against.
Greiss was pulled after allowing three goals on eight shots in the Islanders loss in Nashville on February 13th. Semyon Varlamov has started the last six games but Greiss will make his 27th start of the season tonight in St. Louis. Greiss has gone 7-6-1 with a 2.83 GAA and .916 SV% on the road this year while the Blues come in on a five-game winning streak.
Giordano is listed as a game-time decision for the second straight game. Giordano didn't end up playing Tuesday but could be in the lineup tonight in Nashville. Giordano will return on the first pair and second power-play unit.
Cholowski is expected to replace Gustav Lindstrom, who is out with an undisclosed injury. Cholowski has picked up three goals and nine assists (12 points) in 27 games with the Griffins.
Hart allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Flyers win over the Sharks on Tuesday. Hart has won three in a row with a 1.67 GAA and .942 SV% and continues to play brilliantly on home ice. He is now 17-2-2 with a 1.65 GAA, .941 SV% and one shutout in 21 games at the Wells Fargo Center and is a must-start regardless of the matchup when he's in this building.
Niku has had terrible luck with injuries this season and will miss at least a couple of weeks with a lower-body issue. With Niku out, Nelson Nogier has been recalled from Manitoba (AHL).
Rittich allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Flames win in Boston on Tuesday. Rittich has turned in back-to-back wins, stopping 53 of the 57 shots (.930 SV%) that he's faced. He'll look to stay hot against a Nashville team that has won five of their last seven (5-1-1) games while scoring 2.86 goals per game. Rittich surrendered five goals on 36 shots in a 6-5 OT win in his first game vs. the Preds.
It's unclear whether or not Blais is dealing with an injury or not. He stayed on late during the morning skate, suggesting he won't play vs. the Islanders. If he doesn't play, Robert Bortuzzo will suit up as a seventh defenseman.
Seeler and Lucas Carlsson continue to rotate in and out of the lineup and tonight is Seeler's chance to sit. He played 13:56 TOI in St. Louis on Tuesday.
Carlsson and Nick Seeler have been alternating games, so Carlsson will draw back in for his second career NHL game. Carlsson skated 14:55 TOI in his NHL debut in Dallas on Sunday.
Saros allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Predators win over the Senators on Tuesday. Saros has won two straight while stopping 73 of 78 shots (.936 SV%) and will make his third consecutive start tonight vs. the Flames. Calgary has won the first two games of their road-trip and is 6-1-0 while averaging 4.86 goals per game in their last seven road games.
Crawford surrendered six goals on 37 shots in the Blackhawks loss in St. Louis on Tuesday. Crawford has been inconsistent in February, going 2-5-1 with a 2.73 GAA and .921 SV% in eight games. Tonight he faces a Lightning team that is surprisingly on a three-game losing streak and come in without Steven Stamkos, Pat Maroon and two top-4 defensemen.
Stalock allowed four goals on 28 shots in the Wild's win over the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. Stalock has won five of his last seven starts (5-1-1) while posting a strong 2.12 GAA, .919 SV% and one shutout. He has played great and is a must-start against a Red Wings team that is 1-7-0 while scoring just 1.63 goals per game in their last eight games.
