Lemieux was placed on waivers last week, but, after clearing, played in two of three games for the Hurricanes. The 27-year-old has only three points (2G / 1A) in 25 games this season and is producing at the lowest rate of his career (0.12 PTS / G),
Jankowski has only appeared in 14 games with the Predators this season but has signed a two-year, $3.2 million contract extension on Friday. The 29-year-old is in his seventh NHL season and has 44 goals and 95 points in 336 games played in his career.
Trade rumours circulating Walker for the last few weeks finally materialized on Wednesday in a trade sending him to Colorado. The 29-year-old Walker, in his first season with the Philadelphia Flyers, tallied 22 points (6G / 16A), 109 shots, 81 hits, and 98 blocks in 68 games.
Smith was a first-round pick (No.17 overall) in 2018 and made an early splash with the Devils, but did not have the same impact with the Penguins after being traded for John Marino in July 2022. Smith has spent the entire 2023-24 season in the AHL, where he had nine goals and 23 assists (32 points) in 51 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Lemieux will draw into the lineup on Thursday after being placed on waivers earlier in the day. In 23 games this season, Lemieux has three points (2G / 1A).
Andersen has been out since November 2nd, 2023 due to blood clots but will make his much-awaited return to Carolina's crease on Thursday vs. Montreal. The 34-year-old veteran netminder got off to a winning start to originally begin the season, with his 4-1-0 record, 2.87 GAA and .894 SV%. He will host the Montreal Canadiens, who have struggled as of late with seven losses in their last nine games and are 27th in the NHL in goals per game (2.79).
Andersen was diagnosed with deep-vein thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolisms in November. He has actively participated in practice the last several weeks and could return to the lineup imminently after being activated from IR on Thursday. Anderson has a 2.87 GAA and .894 SV% in six games this season (4-1-0), and at the very least, he will likely return to a timeshare between the pipes.

As expected, Stankoven's "move" was purely financial, and he never actually left the team. The rookie has been excellent in his first four games with the Stars, scoring goals in three straight games, to give him four points (3G/ 1A) to begin his NHL career.
In presumably a paper transaction, Stankoven was reassigned to the Texas Stars (AHL). The 21-year-old has transitioned seamlessly to the NHL, scoring four points (3G / 1A) in four games while playing on a line with Wyatt Johnston and Jamie Benn.
The Hurricanes' goaltender carousel will continue on Tuesday as Pyotr Kochetkov returns to the crease after backing up Spencer Martin in a loss Sunday. The 24-year-old has been one of the NHL's hottest net minders as of late with his overall 15-10-3 record, 2.36 GAA, .910 SV% and 3 shutouts. He'll head to Minnesota to take on the Wild on Tuesday, who have won seven of their last nine games and are 14th in the NHL in goals per game (3.16).
