The Kings have sent Sean Walker to Ontario (AHL).
The Canucks have recalled Jalen Chatfield from Utica (AHL).

Line Change
Walker will make his NHL debut on Tuesday.
Walker was recalled from Ontario (AHL) on Monday and will make his season debut tonight in Dallas. The 23-year-old defenseman will replace Oscar Fantenberg and play with Dion Phaneuf.
The Kings have recalled Sean Walker from Ontario (AHL).
Walker, 23, was an undrafted free agent out of Bowling Green State University. Walker had 28 points (7G / 21A) in 64 games during his first pro season with Ontario in 2017-18 and has amassed six points (3G / 3A) in his first seven games this season. His call-up means the Kings are carrying eight defenseman on their active roster right now.
Dzingel (lower-body) will return to the Senators lineup on Saturday.
Dzingel has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, but will play Saturday vs. the Canadiens. Dzingel has enjoyed a strong stat to the season, picking up two goals, two assists and 12 shots on goal in four games.
Jankowski will be back in the Flames lineup on Saturday.
The Senators have placed Ryan Dzingel (lower-body) on injured reserve.
Dzingel was a game-time decision for the last two games, but it looks like the lower-body injury has finally caught up to him. Dzingel lands on IR, so he will miss at least one week. Nick Paul was recalled from Belleville (AHL) to take Dzingel’s spot on the roster.
The Senators are “very hopeful” that Dzingel (undisclosed) will play on Wednesday.
Dzingel was a game-time decision on Monday, but ended up playing and scoring two goals. He was not on the ice again this morning, so he’s questionable for tonight’s meting with the Flyers. It sounds like it is a very similar situation to Monday and the young winger should be expected to play.
