With Jake Allen getting hurt on Wednesday, Primeau returns to the NHL where he will likely serve as Samuel Montembeault's backup on Thursday. Primeau has gone 8-6-1 with a 2.77 GAA and .912 SV% in 16 AHL games this season.
The Jets only have one game this week, so Ehlers will likely only miss a single game after being added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Monday.
Robinson will draw back onto the Blue Jackets' fourth line, replacing Justin Danforth who is expected to miss six weeks with an MCL sprain.
Primeau was scheduled to start Thursday in Carolina but likely won't be available now. Expect Samuel Montembeault to start every game until Jake Allen is back.
Jankowski and Dylan Cozens were placed on the COVID-19 protocol list on Sunday, joining Zemgus Girgensons, Jeff Skinner and Vinnie Hinostroza, who were on the list prior to the Christmas break. Jankowski and Cozens will likely be out until the middle of next week--the other three are eligible to come off earlier.
The Bruins are already postponed through the Christmas break, so moving Hall likely doesn't change much for his status.
It's unclear what this means for the status of Jake Allen or Samuel Montembeault but Primeau will likely backup regardless of who is ailing. Primeau is 8-6-1 with a 2.77 GAA and .912 SV% in 16 AHL games this season.
Jarvis and Sebastian Aho were moved into COVID-19 protocol after positive tests on Monday, meaning they will have to stay in Vancouver and are not expected to be available in Minnesota on Tuesday.

Dzingel suffered an upper-body on Friday and will not play this week. Alex Galchenruk replaced him on Saturday and should remain in the lineup this week.
