Hunt was a healthy scratch against the Islanders on Monday, but will replace Connor Brickley in the lineup tonight. Hunt draws back in with just one assist and a minus-4 rating in nine games this season.
Boyd, 24, failed to record a point in two games with the Capitals and returns to Hershey where he has 20 points (3G / 17A) in 23 games. Boyd’s return suggests that Andre Burakovsky will be back in the lineup on Friday.
McKenna has gone 6-5-1 with a 3.53 GAA and .871 SV% in 13 games with Texas this season. McKenna has been recalled to serve as Kari Lehtonen’s backup tonight because Ben Bishop is out with a sore back.
Corrado has recorded one goal and four assists (five points) in 12 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season, but has failed to register a point in three games with the Penguins. Corrado has been recalled to fill the roster spot that was opened up by Justin Schultz going on IR.
Schultz left Tuesday’s loss to the Rangers after placing just 9:00 TOI and was placed on IR this morning. His movement to injured reserve means that Schultz will miss at least the next three games and is not eligible to return until next Thursday in Vegas. Frank Corrado has been recalled to take Schultz’s spot on the roster.

Forsberg allowed one goal on 22 shots in the Blackhawks 3-1 loss to the Kings on Sunday. Since taking over for Corey Crawford, Forsberg has stopped 54 of 57 shots () but has yet to record a win. The 25-year-old has gone 1-2-2 with a 3.67 GAA and .898 SV% on the road this season.

Lehtonen allowed two goals on 17 shots after replacing Ben Bishop (back) in the Stars 5-2 loss to the Predators on Tuesday. Bishop did not travel with the team to St. Louis, so Lehtonen will be the Stars No.1 option in the short-term. In his first start against the Blues, Lehtonen allowed four goals on 21 shots in a 4-2 loss.
