Reinhart, 22, has no points in four games with the Flames this season, but will get another shot tonight against the Senators. He has registered 17 goals and 28 assists (45 points) in 51 games with Abbotsford.
Knight, 23, has 14 goals and 23 assists (37 points) in 57 games in his first season with Abbotsford. Tonight he will make his NHL debut against the Flames.
Perreault will miss his second straight game on Wednesday, but he has skated lately and is not believed to be too far away from returning to the line-up.
Mueller had one shot in 9:17 TOI in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jackets. His return to the AHL means that Rich Peverley will be back in the Stars lineup on Thursday.

Parker, 22, is a 5-foot-10, 195 lbs. winger who has one assist in 11 games with Rochester (AHL) this season. While with the Colorado Eagles (ECHL) he had 11 goals and 13 assists (24 points) in 27 games.
Following being traded by the Blue Jackets to the Kings, Gaborik jumped on a play to meet his new teammates in Winnipeg. Gaborik is a speedy winger who has battled injuries throughout the season, but is an elite NHL goal-scorer when healthy. He has just 18 goals and 23 assists (41 points) in 69 games dating back to last season, but in 2011-12 he had 41 goals (76 points) in 82 games with the Rangers. He will step into the Kings' top-6 and help their 27th ranked offence. The Kings have no problem playing defence, but Gabo should see time on Anze Kopitar's line, a duo that should be pretty dynamic.
Corvo's time with Ottawa was up and instead of sending him to Binghamton they have loaned him to the St. Louis Blues' AHL affiliate (Chicago) because Corvo is from nearby Oak Park, Illinois.

McQuaid has not played since January 19 and he has missed a total of 31 games with injuries this season. His inability to stay healthy and losing Dennis Seidenberg for the season forced the Bruins to claim Corey Potter off of waivers and send a third-round pick to the Flyers for Andrej Meszaros.
Grant, 25, is a 6-foot-3 defenseman who was drafted in the fourth-round (118th overall) in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. Grant has registered seven goals and 20 assists (27 points) in 52 games with Norfolk (AHL).

Tonight will mark Tokarski's Canadiens debut. He has not started an NHL game since the 2011-12 season when he was with the Lightning. Tokarski has gone 17-13-2 with a 2.34 GAA and .919 SV% with the Hamilton Bulldogs (AHL). His Habs debut could be ugly as he gets the nod vs. the Ducks on the road.
Mitchell made it known that he was not happy in Minnesota and wanted out. A way to look at this trade is Mitchell for McCormick and the two second round picks for Moulson. Mitchell will come in and replace McCormick, however Mitchell is signed through next season when McCormick is not.
Mitchell had made it known that he was unhappy in Minnesota, so the Sabres off-load McCormick who is in the final year of his deal to replace Mitchell. McCormick is not fantasy relevant, he will skate on the Wild's fourth line. He has one goal and four assists in 29 games this season.
Moulson is on his way to his third team this season. He has a total of 17 goals and 21 assists (38 points) in 55 games between the Sabres and Islanders. This is the second straight season that the Wild have added an impact winger at the deadline by making a trade with the Sabres (J. Pominville in 2013). Moulson will likely find himself in the top-6 with Mikael Granlund or Mikko Koivu as his pivot.
