Line Change
Lomberg will get back into the Panthers lineup on Tuesday.
Lomberg has not played since the Panthers' season opener but will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday. It's unclear who Lomberg will replace but this is likely a response to Givani Smith's fight with Aaron Ekblad on Sunday.
Line Change
Hunt will draw into the Coyotes lineup on Tuesday.
Hunt, who will be making his season debut, will replace Lawson Crouse, who is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Hunt has 15 points (3G / 12A) in 63 career NHL games.
Coleman is not on the ice for warmups; will not play Saturday in Columbus.
The Flyers placed Morgan Frost on IR with a dislocated left shoulder.
Forst dislocated his shoulder on a hit from Jake McCabe in Tuesday's win over the Sabres. The Flyers have listed Frost as "out indefinitely" and said they will provide further details on his timeline in the near future. Connor Bunnaman is expected to draw into the Flyers lineup for Frost on Thursday.
Coleman was removed from the COVID-19 protocol list and is eligible to play Thursday in Columbus.
Coleman has been on the COVID-19 protocol list but hasn't missed any games due to the Lightning's games vs. Dallas being cancelled due to COVID-19 issues of their own. While being activated is good news there is no word whether Coleman will actually be in the lineup on Thursday or if he will have to wait until Saturday.
The Senators have acquired Clark Bishop from the Hurricanes for Max Lajoie.
Olofsson left Saturday's practice and did not return; still being evaluated.
Olofsson was shaken up after losing his balance and crashing into the post at Saturday's practice. Olofsson tried to return to the skate following a video session but ended up retiring to the dressing room shortly after. Following the practice the Sabres said that Olofsson is still being evaluated, so consider him day-to-day until more information is released.
The Rangers have signed Ryan Strome to a two-year contract worth $9.0 million ($4.5M AAV).
The Sabres have signed Victor Olofsson to a two-year deal worth $6.1 million ($3.05M AAV).
The Hurricanes have re-signed Clark Bishop to a one-year, two-way contract ($700K/$100K).
The Coyotes have signed Dryden Hunt to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Kings have acquired Olli Maatta from the Blackhawks in exchange for Brad Morrison.
Maatta has two-years left at $4.083 million but Chicago retained 18.37 percent of the deal, so he'll only cost the Kings $3.33M AAV. That makes him the Kings' second-highest paid defenseman for 2021. Maatta had four goals and 13 assists (17 points) in 65 games in 2020.
The Predators have signed Devin Cooley to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Cooley is an undrafted free agent, who finished his third year at the University of Denver in 2020. The 23-year-old netminder went 4-3-2 with a 2.08 GAA and .908 SV% in nine NCAA games. Cooley will likely replace Troy Grosenick (UFA) as the backup in Milwaukee (AHL).
The Flames have signed Justin Kirkland to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
Kirkland was a third-round pick of the Predators in 2014 but signed with the Flames last summer. He spent the entire 2020 season with Stockton (AHL), where he had six goals and 22 assists (28 points) in 53 games.
