Lamoriello said there is “no time frame” for when Salvador will return. He will not play in Thursday night’s game against Vancouver.
Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said captain Bryce Salvador went to Lethbridge, Alberta this morning because of a death in his family and, per the CBA, has been designated at a non-roster player. That opened the roster spot for the Devils to recall Gelinas. He has one goal and two assists in five games with Albany.
Missiaen is 1-0-0 with a 3.00 GAA and .885 SV% with Hartford (AHL).
This is Briere's third concussion of his career so expect the Habs to tread lightly as he works his way back to the lineup.
Price allowed more than three goals on Tuesday for the first time since the season opener. He allowed four goals on 32 shots, which also ended his streak of 30-plus saves a .900+ SV% at four. He will look to bounce back tomorrow at home vs. the Ducks.
Burns who didn't play Monday will not play again on Thursday after taking a hit to the mouth on Saturday. Freddie Hamilton will skate in his place once again, and could face his younger brother Dougie Hamilton.
Niemi stopped all 24 shots and all three shootout attempts, including a highlight-reel save on Todd Bertuzzi to preserve the 1-0 win over the Red Wings on Monday. The win was his NHL leading eighth of the season as he moved to 8-0-1. There is no reason not to trust him right now even against a tough team like the Bruins tomorrow.
Schneider will make his second start vs. his former team on Thursday. He allowed three goals on 32 shots in an overtime loss to the Canucks on October 8th. He also stopped 20 of 23 shots in a loss vs. Columbus Tuesday evening. Every time he plays his former team it is an intriguing matchup, but the Devils are struggling offensively, making it hard to trust Schneider.
Ouellet made his NHL debut on Monday and was sent down yesterday, but has been recalled this morning after Niklas Kronwall took a puck to the face in the Red Wings gameday skate. Kronwall is expected to play, but Ouellet has been recalled as a precaution.
Kronwall had to have some dental work this morning, but says that he will be in the lineup. Despite what Kronwall said the Red Wings have recalled Xavier Ouellet in case he can't play.
Rome waivers could be just for options. If he clears, he has 10-game, 30-day window where he can be assigned. Gives extra forward option. Rome just returned to the Stars after missing the start of the season with a hip injury.
He is out indefinitely and a timetable will be announced once it's determined. As of now, the Wild says this is relatively good news because there was originally a concern he had a broken jaw. More after practice, but as of now, Matt Dumba has taken Brodin's spot on the No. 2 power-play unit
Talbot is 4-0-1 with a 2.49 GAA and .924 SV% in five appearances with Hartford (AHL) this season. If the Rangers were better offensively and defensively, he might make for a good spot start against the Flyers. However, he would be a risky option.
Cam Talbot will make his NHL debut and Jason Missaien will be recalled to backup. Lundqvist isn't expected to miss an extended period of time and is considered day-to-day.
Johnson went 2-0-2 with a 1.21 GAA and .954 SV% in four appearances with the Coyotes last season. For a bigger sample size he was 16-15-1 with a 3.00 GAA and .903 SV% with the Portland Pirates (AHL). He won't see a lot of starts behind the workhorse Tuukka Rask, but he could make for a solid spot start on a quiet night in the NHL vs. a 1-8-1 Sabres team.
It is unknown if Goigoski will stay at forward or what the Stars are doing. He has had a tough start to the season, failing to record a point with a minus-10 rating in eight games.
Nichushkin was practicing with Seguin and Benn yesterday, but that didn't last long. After a strong preseason, Nichushkin has struggled on the third line without a great supporting cast.
This is a positive sign that Letang could be in the lineup on Friday vs. the Islanders.
Anderson allowed two goals on 42 shots in a win over the Devils last Thursday. He has had six days off since his last start, so he should be fresh tonight vs. a good Red Wings squad. Ottawa has allowed a ton of shots this season and Anderson has done all he can posting a .924 SV% through six starts.
Zadorov was the 16th pick in this year's NHL Entry Draft, is a big, physical defenseman who loves to throw his weight around. The Sabres have nine-games to decide whether or not they want to keep Zadorov on the roster and burn the first year of his entry-level contract, or send him back to juniors. He had no points in 11:01 TOI in his NHL debut.
