Bishop failed to record a point in his first seven career NHL games during his call-up, but returns to the AHL where he has five points (3G / 2A) in nine games. Bishop was returned to the AHL to create room so the Hurricanes could activate Victor Rask (hand) from IR.
Hanley has picked up five points (1G / 4A) in 11 games with Texas this season. Hanley has been called up because John Klingberg has been placed on IR with an upper-body injury.
Hunt was an NHL hopeful but he will start the year in the AHL, where he accumulated 46 points (23G / 23A) in 58 games a season ago.
Farabee is known as a high-character 200-foot player. He served as the captain of the U.S. National U-18 team and scored 33 goals with 43 assists (76 points) in 62 games while playing on a line with Oliver Wahlstrom and projected 2019 No.1 overall pick Jack Hughes. Farabee creates offence with his great speed and compares favourably to Blues’ forward Brayden Schenn.
Andersson allowed eight goals on 30 shots (38 points) in 53 games with the Heat this season. Andersson comes up because T.J. Brodie suffered an upper-body injury last night. Andersson has not picked up a point in two career NHL games.
