Bishop has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury but “may be ready to go tomorrow” after practicing Thursday. Even if he plays, Bishop has just three points (1G / 2A) in 20 games while averaging just 9:27 TOI/gm, so he has no fantasy value.
Bishop left the game in Philadelphia after playing just 2:15 TOI and is questionable for Friday’s game against the Blue Jackets. Greg McKegg was recalled from Charlotte (AHL) and would play if Bishop can’t go.
Bishop has just one goal and one assist in 15 games with the Hurricanes this season. The 22-year-old heads back to Charlotte, where he has five points (3G / 2) in 13 games.
Lomberg has not registered a point in three games with the Flames this seaosn but has six points (2G / 4A) in 19 games with Stockton.
Hanley cleared waivers on Tuesday but will also draw into the lineup on the same day. Hanley was a healthy scratch on Saturday but will replace Julius Honka tonight.
Backlund has missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury but could play on the Flames’ three-game road-trip, which starts Saturday afternoon in Minnesota. Monitor his status as the Flames hit the ice for warmups at 1:00 pm on Saturday.
Lomberg has not drawn back into the Flames lineup after being suspended and returns to the AHL with Jon Gillies coming up from Stockton. Lomberg has six points (2G / 4A) and 12 PIMS in 18 AHL games this season.
Bean did not record a point while averaging just 8:27 TOI/gm in two games during his call-up. He returns to Charlotte, where he has 11 points (3G / 8A) in 21 games this season.
Bishop has split his time between the NHL and AHL this season. Bishop has no points in seven games with the Hurricanes but has five points (3G / 2A) in 12 games with the Checkers. Bishop would play Friday if Micheal Ferland (undisclosed) is unavailable.
Bean was selected No.13 overall back in 2016 and will make his debut on the third pair with Trevor van Riemsdyk. Bean, who is in his first AHL season after spending four years in the WHL, has collected 11 points (3G / 8A) in 21 games with the Checkers. Bean brings some more offence to an already talented blue line in Carolina and carries some interesting punt value in daily formats.
Coleman is questionable after playing on Sunday, so head coach John Hynes listed him as a game-time decision in Florida. With Marcus Johansson out with a lower-body injury, Blake Coleman could be elevated to the second line.
Hanley has been in the lineup for seven straight games, but will be replaced by Julius Honka on Saturday. Hanley has no points this season.
Lomberg, who had one assist in seven games with the Flames last season, will replace Michael Frolik on the roster. The 23-year-old has six points (2G / 4A) in 18 games with Stockton this season.
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.
