Strome found a home on the Rangers' second line playing with Artemi Panarin for the last three seasons, tallying 53 goals and 109 assists (162 points) in 200 games--22 goals and 45 assists (67 points) per 82-game pace. In Anaheim he should play a similar role as the No.2 centre behind Trevor Zegras but likely will not have the star power of Panarin on his wing.
Hanley has been a healthy scratch for the last four games but will replace John Klingberg (lower-body) in the lineup on Friday. Hanley has just five points (1G / 4A) in 43 games this season.
Sharangovich was hurt early in Tuesday's game against the Rangers but was on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and is expected to skate on the top-line vs. the Canadiens. Sharangovich has been playing very well as of late, scoring seven goals with five assists (12 points) in his last 14 games.
Strome has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury but was on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision in New Jersey. All signs are pointing towards him returning, as he skated in his usual spot on the second line and top power-play unit.
Strome suffered a lower-body injury vs. the Sabres on Sunday and will not play in Pittsburgh. The injury is considered minor, he could even play tomorrow in Detroit. Ryan Reaves will replace him in the lineup on Tuesday.
Whitecloud missed three games while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to play Saturday afternoon vs. the Blackhawks. Whitecloud and Alec Martinez will both be back in, providing a massive boost to the Golden Knights' bllueline on Saturday.
Bahl will likely serve as a reserve defenseman in Toronto on Wednesday. The 2018 second-round pick was scored three goals with 12 assists (15 points) in 49 AHL games this season. He has suited up in four games with the Devils this season and 11 games in the last two years combined.
Scott Laughton left Thursday's loss in Florida after falling awkwardly into the boards, so Frost is presumably Laughton's replacement for Saturday's game in Carolina. Frost has split his season between the AHL and NHL, scoring two goals with five assists (seven points) in his 30 games with the Flyers.
Middleton missed Wednesday's practice but is feeling better and could play on Thursday. Monitor his status as the Sharks hit the ice for warmups at 10:00 PM ET.
The Flames drafted Kerins in the sixth-round in 2020 and he has exploded in 2022. The 19-year-old currently leads the Son Greyhounds (OHL) with 84 points (33G / 51A) in 50 games.
Frost has been in the lineup for four straight games but will sit on Saturday with Derick Brassard returning from an ongoing hip issue.
Farabee missed the last 11 games with an upper-body injury but will play Saturday vs. the Capitals. Farabee, who will replace Max Willman in the lineup, has 11 goals and seven assists (18 points) in 33 games this season.
