The Flyers have recalled Morgan Frost from Lehigh Valley (AHL).
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 (illness) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
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 have signed Rory Kerins to a three-year, entry-level contract.
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.
Line Change
Frost will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
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 (upper-body) will be back in the Flyers lineup on Saturday.
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.
Whitecloud (foot) will be back in the Golden Knights lineup on Friday.
Whitecloud missed the last six games but is expected to replace Dylan Coghlan (flu) in the lineup on Friday. Whitecloud has scored six goals with six assists (12 points) in 31 games this season.
The Flyers have recalled Morgan Frost from Lehigh Valley (AHL).
Derick Brassard found himself back on the shelf over the weekend, so Frost may be back in the Flyers' lineup on Tuesday. Frost has split his time between the AHL and NHL pretty equally this season. He's posted 18 points (5G / 13A) in 20 AHL games and has seven points (2G / 5A) in 26 NHL games.
Whitecloud has a broken bone in his foot and will miss the Golden Knights two-game road trip.
Whitecloud missed the Golden Knights' final game before the All-Star break and will miss at least the first two games after. For now, he's been ruled out for the two-game road trip, so monitor his status as the Golden Knights return home for next Wednesday's game vs. the Avalanche.
Frost (illness) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play on Tuesday.
Middleton (upper-body) will be back in the Sharks lineup on Tuesday.
Middleton has been out since January 4th but will be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Middleton was playing well before getting hurt, scoring three goals with three assists (six points) in his last 16 games.
Frost (illness) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
Frost missed Monday's practice and remains under the weather, so he'll be a game-time decision vs. the Jets. If Frost can't play, Connor Bunnaman will move up to the third line and Jackson Cates will draw into the lineup.
Whitecloud (undisclosed) will not play Tuesday vs. Buffalo.
Whitecloud will miss the Golden Knights' final game before the All-Star break due to an undisclosed injury. The Golden Knights may also be without Nic Hague but could get Alec Martinez vs. the Sabres.
Whitecloud (back) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play Tuesday.
The Flyers have placed Joel Farabee (upper-body) on IR; he is expected to miss four weeks.
Farabee suffered an upper-body injury on Thursday and is expected to miss at least one month. James van Riemsdyk or Oskar Lindblom are expected to replace him on the top line and Wade Allison was called up from Lehigh Valley (AHL) to take his spot on the roster.
Line Change
Hanley (personal) will draw into the Stars lineup on Friday.
Hanley was on paternity leave recently and has often been a healthy scratch this season but will play Friday in Florida. Hanley will replace Andrej Sekera (COVID-19 protocol) in the lineup and skate on the third pair with Jani Hakanpaa.
Sharangovich has been activated from the COVID-19 protocol list and is expected to play Thursday.
The Rangers have placed Dryden Hunt (upper-body) on IR.
Hunt will miss at least one week after being moved to IR on Friday. With Hunt and Julien Gauthier (COVID-19 protocol) out, the Rangers have recalled Jonny Brodzinski and Tim Gettinger from the taxi squad.
Hunt is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Hunt missed Friday's practice due to an upper-body injury and is questionable to play Saturday in Anaheim. If Hunt is not available vs. the Ducks, the Rangers will likely need to call someone up from their taxi squad to replace him.
Middleton (upper-body) will not play on Thursday.
Middleton left Tuesday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return after being hit from behind by Givani Smith. Marc-Edouard Vlasic will replace him in Buffalo.
