Toninato will be a healthy scratch in Game 2.
The Predators signed Cole Smith to a one-year, two-way contract.
Smith was an undrafted free agent forward out of the University of North Dakota. The 24-year-old finished his senior season with 11 goals and seven assists (18 points) in 34 games for the Fighting Hawks.
The Flames signed Connor Mackey to a one-year entry-level contract on March 20th.
Mackey was an undrafted free agent who just finished his junior year at Minnesota State University, where he led all of their blueliners with 24 points (7G / 14A) in 36 games. He was named WCHA First team All-Star and finished with a league-high plus-19 rating while helping the Mavericks to a league-best 31-5-2 record.
Ellis (concussion) will play in Chicago on Friday.
Ellis (concussion) is questionable to play in Chicago on Friday.
Weber (ankle) will play in Detroit on Tuesday.
Canadiens coach Claude Julien said there's a possibility Weber (ankle) plays on Tuesday in Detroit. Weber is just two weeks into what was originally projected to be a 4-6 week recovery.
Weber is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with an ankle sprain.
Weber (lower-body) is in danger of missing the rest of the 2020 regular season.
According to Nick Kypreos, Weber's season is likely over and his future is in question. The injury is reportedly related to his foot that was surgically repaired in 2018 and could require further surgery.
Weber (lower-body) is expected to miss at least one more week.
Weber will not play Monday vs. the Coyotes, won't travel on their brief two-game road trip (@BOS and @PIT) and is doubtful to play vs. the Stars when they return home on Saturday. So far, so good without Weber though, the Habs have gone 2-0 with two OT victories without their captain.
Weber will miss at least one week with a lower-body injury; will be placed on IR.
Weber missed Wednesday's practice and when head coach Claude Julien met with the media this morning he announced that Weber will go on IR, meaning he misses at least one week. With Weber out, the Canadiens have recalled Xavier Ouellet from Laval (AHL).

Donato will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday.
With Mikko Koivu returning from an illness, Donato will sit as a healthy scratch vs. the Red Wings. Donato has scored one goal with one assist in his last eight games.
Toninato (illness) is expected to play Monday in Minnesota.
Toninato was a late-scratch Saturday in Detroit but is expected to play tonight in his home state. He has been playing with quality linemates (Hoffman & Vatrano) lately and comes in with three assists in his last four games.

Donato will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
Donato was bumped to the fourth line with Jason Zucker back on Sunday but will come out of the lineup tonight in Pittsburgh. Donato, who has been held pointless in his last five games, will be replaced by Victor Rask in Pittsburgh.
The Predators have placed Ryan Ellis (upper-body) on IR.
Ellis was knocked out of the Winter Classic after being elbowed in the face by Corey Perry early in the first period. The Predators are still calling it an "upper-body injury" but it sure looked like a concussion. The Predators used the roster spot to call-up, Alexandre Carrier, from Milwaukee (AHL).
Line Change
Donato will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
Donato has appeared in 25 of 27 games this season but will be replaced by Victor Rask on Tuesday. Donato has picked up two goals and one assist in his last four games.
The Blues have sent Derrick Pouliot to San Antonio (AHL).
Pouliot appeared in two games during his call-up but heads back to the AHL with Robert Bortuzzo set to return from suspension on Monday. Pouliot leads all San Antonio defensemen with 18 points (4G / 14A) in 20 AHL games this season.
The Coyotes have acquired Vili Saarijarvi from the Red Wings for Eric Comrie.
Saarijarvi was a third-round pick (No.73 overall) in 2015 and never really got things going in the AHL. After posting 31 points (11G / 20A) in 34 games in his final OHL season, Saarijarvi posted just 28 points (2G / 26A) in 125 AHL games. He will report to Tucson (AHL).
Pouliot will make his Blues debut on Friday.
Pouliot has been fantastic in the AHL this year, posting a 18 points (4G / 14A) in 20 games with San Antonio. Pouliot was summoned from the AHL on the weekend and will make his Blues debut in Dallas. He has 48 points (8G / 48A) in 200 career NHL games.
