“Jordan has really fit in well with our group and provides veteran leadership both on and off the ice,” said GM Don Waddell. “He skates with a relentless energy that epitomizes the way Coach Brind’Amour wants the Hurricanes to play.” The 26-year-old winger has 10 goals and three assists (13 points) in 50 games during his first season with the Hurricanes.

Gostisbehere was a late-scratch from Monday’s game against the Jets and has already been ruled out for Tuesday’s game in New York. Look for Ivan Provorov and Travis Sanheim to play huge minutes and eat-up the power-play time while Gostisbehere is out.

Gostisbehere was expected to be in the Flyers lineup on Monday but the team announced he would miss the game right at 7:00 pm. This is a tough break for them as the Flyers lack offensive talent on the back-end outside of Gostisbehere, Ivan Provorov and Travis Sanheim.

Hall will miss 14th consecutive game with a lower-body injury but did skate in New Jersey prior to the Devils practice on Sunday. Skating is an encouraging sign that Hall shouldn’t be too far away but he certainly is not healing as quick as they originally expected.

Andersen allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Maple Leafs loss to the Coyotes on Sunday. Since returning from injury, Andersen has gone 1-2-0 while allowing a combined nine goals on 104 shots (.914 SV%). Tonight he faces a Capitals team on the tail-end of a back-to-back and on a six-game losing streak (0-4-2).



Andersen surrendered four goals on 36 shots in the Maple Leafs loss to the Avalanche on Monday. The Maple Leafs did not play well against Colorado and will need to be significantly better tonight if they want a chance vs. the Lightning. Andersen allowed four goals on 21 shots in a 4-1 loss in his first start in Tampa Bay.

Walker has been a scratch for the last three games but will replace Oscar Fantenberg in Dallas. Walker has collected just one goal and two assists in 17 games this season.

Andersen allowed four goals on 21 shots in a 4-1 loss in his first start in Tampa Bay.

Andersen has missed the last six games with a groin injury and flu but will start Monday against Colorado. Andersen enters play on a three-game personal winning streak, stopping 77 of the 83 shots (.928 SV%) that he faced. The 29-year-old has gone 9-5-0 with a 2.10 GAA and .935 SV% on home-ice this year.

Robinson had no points in three games with the Blue Jackets and returns to Cleveland where he has 10 goals and nine assists (19 points) in 33 games. Kevin Stenlund comes up to replace him on the roster.

Andersen was originally expected to return from a five-game absence due to a groin injury but will not be available tonight because of the flu. With Andersen still sidelined, Michael Hutchinson will make his fifth consecutive start.

Reilly has been in the lineup for 13 consecutive games but has not registered a point, so he will be replaced by Karl Alzner on Thursday.

Deslauriers was a healthy scratch in Detroit on Tuesday but will replace Charles Hudon on Thursday. Deslauriers has just two goals and one assist in 30 games this season.

Carrier was believed to be a healthy scratch on Sunday but is dealing with an undisclosed ailment. Moving him to IR opened up a roster spot for Vegas to call-up Brandon Pirri from Chicago (AHL).

Ehlers left Friday’s game in Pittsburgh with an upper-body injury and the evaluation did not go well. Head coach Paul Maurice announced on Saturday afternoon that Ehlers will miss approximately six weeks. Jack Roslovic moved into the Jets’ top-6 with Ehlers not on the ice for Saturday’s practice.

Staal has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury and was moved to IR to open up a roster spot for Greg McKegg to be called-up.

Andersen was already expected to miss Thursday’s game so moving him to IR was simply a formality to open up a roster spot. The Maple Leafs are also without Garret Sparks (concussion protocol) so Michael Hutchinson was recalled to start on Thursday afternoon.
