The Blackhawks have acquired Olli Maatta from the Penguins for Dominik Kahun and a 2019 fifth-round pick.
Maatta was a first-round pick in 2012 but fell out of favour in Pittsburgh this past season. The Penguins brought in Jack Johnson and acquired Erik Gudbranson at the trade deadline and continued to push Maatta down the depth chart. The 24-year-old has had some injury issues throughout his career and is coming off of a season where he had 14 points (1G / 13A) in 60 games. Maatta, who has three years left at $4.083M AAV, will likely play on the Blackhawks third pairing.
Line Change
Hanley will draw into the Stars lineup for Game 4.
Hanley spent most of the season in the AHL, where he had eight goals and 20 assists (28 points) in 60 games. Hanley played 16 games with Dallas and has just six assists in 38 career NHL games—tonight will be his first career NHL playoff game.
Line Change
Maatta may be a healthy scratch in Game 2.
Both Maatta and Marcus Pettersson struggled in Game 1 and Jack Johnson is expected to replace Maatta in Game 2. Maata was a minus-2 in 18:44 TOI on Wednesday.
Line Change
Backlund is expected to be back in the Flames lineup on Wednesday.
Backlund was rested on Monday but is expected to replace Sean Monahan in the lineup on Wednesday.
Line Change
Backlund will be rested on Monday.
Maatta (shoulder) is on the ice for warmups; expected to play on Friday.
Maatta (shoulder) will be a game-time decision on Friday.
Bean has been recalled from Charlotte (AHL) on an emergency basis.
Coleman (upper-body) will return to the Devils lineup on Tuesday.
Coleman missed the last four games with an upper-body injury but will play Tuesday vs. the Penguins. Coleman has been held pointless in his last six games but has a quality campaign, scoring 18 goals on 155 shots (11.6 SH%) with 11 assists (29 points) in 55 games.
Coleman (upper-body) will not play on Sunday.
The Devils have placed Blake Coleman (upper-body) on IR.
Coleman (upper-body) will not play on Thursday.
Coleman was a bit of a surprising scratch on Tuesday and will miss his second straight game on Thursday. Nick Lappin will remain in the Devils lineup with Coleman sidelined.
Coleman (upper-body) will not play Tuesday in St. Louis.
Maatta (upper-body) has been placed on IR and is out indefinitely.
Bishop (lower-body) was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.
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 Thursday’s game with a lower-body injury and did not return.
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.
