The chances of Byram returning before the end of the regular season seem low now but this is why they went out and added Patrik Nemeth at the trade deadline.






Sheahan was hurt midway through Tuesday's game in Boston and will not be available for Thursday's game. With Sheahan out, Tobias Rieder will draw back into the Sabres lineup.


Bishop was expected to return at some point during the 2021 season but the Stars will keep him out to allow him time "to continue his rehabilitation and return to full health for the 2022 season." With Bishop out, the Stars will continue to roll with a goaltending tandem of Anton Khudobin and Jake Oettinger.

Brannstrom, who had two goals and three assists in 14 games with the Senators earlier in the season recently spent some time in the AHL. While with Belleville, he had five assists in four games and will likely replace Braydon Coburn on the tail-end of a back-to-back.

Bernard-Docker was the No.26 overall pick in 2018 and signs with the Senators after three years at the University of North Dakota. The 20-year-old defenseman scored three goals with 15 assists (18 points) in 27 games this season.



Byram remains day-to-day and will not be available for Monday's game vs. the Ducks. With Byram still sidelined, Daniel Renouf will remain on the third pairing with Ryan Graves.

Bryson was not on the ice for Monday's morning skate and is listed as day-to-day. With Bryson not expected to play on Monday, look for Matt Irwin to draw into the lineup vs. the Flyers.

Zucker has been out for just over one month with a lower-body injury but was on the ice for Sunday's practice and is a game-time decision for Monday's clash with the Islanders. The Penguins are in desperate need of some healthy forwards, so Zucker will slot right back into the top-6 if he plays on Monday.

Byram was scratched Tuesday in Arizona but will play tonight vs. the Golden Knights. Byram is still searching for his first career goal and has just two assists in his first 18 NHL games.
