The Ducks promoted their top prospect on Sunday and he should make his NHL debut on Monday. Zegras skated with Sam Steel and Jakob Silfverberg in Sunday's practice, paving the way for him to play in the top-6 right away. The 19-year-old had nine points (4G / 5A) in his first eight AHL games.
It's unclear when Trouba was hurt but he did block a Will Butcher shot late in the second period and did not return for the third. This is a huge blow for Rangers, who are already learning on Adam Fox as heavily as they can. Luckily K'Andre Miller was back on the ice for Wednesday's practice and could be back in on Thursday.
Harkins has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury but will return to the lineup tonight in Edmonton. With Harkins returning, Logan Stanley will sit and the Jets will go back to 12 forwards and six defensemen.
Bailey was hurt Thursday vs. the Flames and will miss at least a week with an upper-body injury. Look for Loui Eriksson to draw into the Canucks lineup for him on Sunday.
Bailey was brought up from the taxi squad and will make his season debut Saturday in Toronto. The 25-year-old winger had five goals and four assists in 65 career NHL games and will be replacing Jake Virtanen.
With Harkins coming out of the lineup on Thursday, David Gustaffson will be back in to centre the fourth line.
Fabbri has been sidelined in COVID-19 protocol since January 16th but appears ready to re-join the Red Wings' lineup on Wednesday. Fabbri, who has 15 goals and 17 assists (32 points) in 54 career games with the Red Wings, is expected to skate on the top-line with Dylan Larkin and Bobby Ryan on Wednesday.
Gibson allowed four goals on 23 shots in the Ducks loss to the Blues on Sunday. Gibson had a tough two-game stint vs. St. Louis and has now lost three in a row while allowing a combined 10 goals on 63 shots (.841 SV%). Tonight he faces a Kings team that Gibson has gone 1-2-0 with a .929 SV% against over the last two seasons.
