Goalie Start
Kochetkov will make his first career start on Saturday.
Staal (upper-body) is expected to be back in the Hurricanes lineup on Thursday.
Staal missed Tuesday's game with an upper-body injury that he suffered against the Avalanche over the weekend. Staal was back on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and is expected to play vs. the Jets. Staal has been red-hot as of late, scoring eight goals with two assists (10 points) in his last seven games.
Kotkaniemi is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.
Kotkaniemi is "nicked up" with an undisclosed injury, so he's not expected to play Monday in Arizona. With both Kotkaniemi and Jordan Staal out, look for Derek Stepan and Steven Lorentz to draw back in.
Staal is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.
Staal left Saturday's game in Carolina after being crushed by Cale Makar and did not return. The Hurricanes called the update "positive," so it doesn't sound like they expect him to miss an extended period of time.
Deslauriers (undisclosed) will be back in the Wild lineup on Thursday.
Deslauriers missed two games after suffering an injury while blocking a shot in St. Louis last Friday. Deslauriers will replace Jordan Greenway (upper-body) in the lineup on Thursday.
Kotkaniemi (undisclosed) will return to the Hurricanes lineup on Thursday.
Kotkaniemi has been out since March 28th but will replace Steven Lorentz in the lineup on Thursday. Kotkaniemi has 26 points (11G / 15A) in 63 games this season while playing primarily in the bottom-6 and PP2.
The Golden Knights have added William Carrier (lower-body) to LTIR.
Carrier has been sidelined since March 30th by a lower-body injury and was one of three players added to LTIR on Tuesday to make room for Mark Stone to be activated for their game in Vancouver. As a result, Carrier will likely be out until the playoffs or more cap gymnastics will be required.
The Canadiens recalled Cayden Primeau from Laval (AHL).
Jake Allen suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday's loss to the Maple Leafs and Carey Price doesn't appear ready yet, so Primeau figures to serve as Sam Montembeault's backup on Monday. Primeau is 15-10-3 with a 2.87 GAA and .912 SV% in 30 AH games this season.
Valimaki was called up from the AHL and will draw into the Flames lineup on Thursday.
The Flames have recalled Juuso Valimaki from Stockton (AHL).
With Sean Monahan landing on LTIR over the weekend, the Flames have some new-found cap space. They used the room to recall Valimaki and Adam Ruzicka from the AHL. Valimaki has two goals and 15 assists (17 points) in 30 games with Stockton this season.
Line Change
Reilly will draw into the Bruins lineup on Thursday.
Reilly has been a healthy scratch for the last three games but will replace Derek Forbort in the lineup on Thursday. Reilly has picked up four goals with 10 assists (14 points) in 57 games this season.
Kotkanieimi will miss 2-to-3 weeks with a lower-body injury.
Kotkanieimi suffered a lower-body injury late in Tuesday's win in Washington on a questionable hit from Lars Eller. Jordan Martinook (undisclosed) could be back in the lineup on Thursday to replace Kotkanieimi on the fourth line.
The Bruins have signed Brandon Bussi to a one-year, entry-level contract.
Bussi was an undrafted free agent out of Western Michigan University. The 23-year-old netminder went 26-12-1 with a 2.54 GAA and .912 SV% in 39 games this season. He will report to Providence (AHL).
The Hurricanes have signed Noel Gunler to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Hurricanes selected Gunler in the second-round of the 2020 NHL Draft and he has remained in Sweden since then. The 20-year-old had 13 goals with 10 assists (23 points) in 52 games with Brynas IF Gavle (SHL) this season.
Kotkaniemi (lower-body) will not play on Tuesday.
Line Change
Reilly will be a healthy scratch on Thursday.
The Bruins' blueline will likely be fluid moving forward but Reilly will be the first one to sit out with Hampus Lindholm making his Bruins debut on Thursday.
