Anaheim Ducks News
Goalie Start
Brossoit will start Tuesday in Ottawa.
Granlund is expected to miss the start of the regular season.
Granlund has yet to arrive at Predators' training camp but hopes to travel to Nashville this week. Granlund will have to quarantine upon his arrival, which means he will miss the start of the regular season. Granlund figures to slot in on the Predators' second line once he joins the team.
The Predators have signed Mikael Granlund to a one-year contract worth $3.75 million.
The Jets have signed Laurent Brossoit to a one-year, $1.5 million contract extension.
Brossoit did not enjoy the same level of success in year two with the Jets but was solid enough to stay on as Connor Hellebuyck's backup for at least one more year. Brossoit went 6-7-1 with a 3.28 GAA and .895 SV% in 2020 and is now 19-13-3 with a 2.87 GAA and . 912 SV% in 40 career games (34 starts) with the Jets.
Line Change
Killorn has served his one-game suspension and will draw back into the Lightning lineup for Game 4.
Suspension
Killorn has been suspended for Game 3 for his hit on Brock Nelson in Game 2.
Killorn was assessed a five-minute major and was ejected from Game 2 and will miss Game 3 as well. With Killorn suspended and Brayden Point likely out, the Lighting lineup will look a lot different in Game 3. Look for two of Carter Verhaeghe, Mathieu Joseph or Mitchell Stephens to draw into the lineup if Point joins Killorn in the stands.
Line Change
Vatrano will be a healthy scratch in Game 3.
The Ducks have signed Troy Terry to a three-year extension worth $4.35 million ($1.45M AAV).
Goalie Start
Brossoit will start Tuesday in Washington.
Brossoit stopped 29 of 30 shots in the Jets’ win in Ottawa last Thursday. Brossoit has been terrific in his last two starts, going 2-0-0 while stopping 54 of the 57 shots (.947 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he faces a Capitals team that has gone 2-4-1 while averaging 3.43 goals for and 4.29 goals against in their last seven home games.
Goalie Start
Brossoit will start in Ottawa on Thursday.
Line Change
Jensen will draw back into the Capitals lineup on Monday.
Jensen was a healthy scratch on Saturday but will replace Radko Gudas in the lineup tonight vs. the Islanders. Jensen has had very little success offensively this season, posting four assists in 54 games.
Goalie Start
Brossoit will start Saturday afternoon vs. the Senators.
Brossoit allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Jets loss to the Bruins on January 31st. Brossoit has gone 1-3-0 with a 3.76 GAA and .875 SV% on home-ice this season and gets set to face an Ottawa team that has lost eight of their last nine road games (1-4-4).
Poehling (undisclosed) is questionable to play Thursday vs. the Ducks.
There is no indication what Poehling is dealing with but a flu bug has been going through the Habs room, so it could be that. Consider Poehling a game-time decision and monitor his status as they hit the ice for warmups at 6:30 PM ET.
Line Change
Poehling will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
The Blues signed Ville Husso to a two-year contract extension worth $1.5 million ($750K AAV).
Husso has spent the entire season with San Antonio (AHL), going 10-12-8 with a 2.93 GAA and .898 SV% in 30 games. Husso projects to be the future backup to Jordan Binnington, but Jake Allen has one year left on his deal, so Husso's time likely isn't until 2022.
Goalie Start
Brossoit will start Friday vs. the Bruins.
Brossoit allowed four goals on 29 shots in the Jets loss in Columbus on January 22nd. Brossoit has not registered a win since December 10th, going 0-3-0 with a 4.73 GAA and .867 SV% in six games (three starts) since then. Tonight he faces a Bruins team that has gone 5-3-2 while scoring 3.10 goals per game in their last 10 games.
The Ducks recalled Troy Terry from San Diego (AHL).
Terry has been out since December 17th with a small fracture below his knee cap. Terry was originally expected to miss 10 weeks, so he made a speedy recovery. Terry absolutely lit it up during his conditioning stint, posting 10 points (3G / 7A) in seven games. The 22-year-old had eight points (3G / 5A) in 33 games with the Ducks before getting hurt.
Goalie Start
Brossoit will start Wednesday in Columbus.
Brossoit allowed two goals on 14 shots after replacing Connor Hellebuyck in the Jets' 7-1 loss to the Lightning last Friday. Brossoit has not recorded a win since December 10th, going 0-2-0 while allowing 15 goals on 99 shots (.868 SV%) in his last five appearances (two starts). Tonight he faces a Blue Jackets team on a five-game winning streak, outscoring their opponents 16-to-3.
Goalie Start
Brossoit will start Thursday in Boston.
Brossoit allowed one goal on 11 shots in a relief effort in the Jets loss to Toronto last Thursday. With Connor Hellebuyck going last night in Toronto, Brossoit draws the unenviable task of starting in Boston tonight. The 26-year-old is 3-2-0 with a 3.04 GAA and .904 SV% on the road and the Bruins are 14-2-9 in Boston, so look elsewhere tonight.
