Kulak appeared in the last three games and six of the last nine, but with the Flames signing Matt Bartkowski to a deal this week, Kulak heads back to the AHL where he has five points (1G / 4A) in 11 games this season.
Kulak has been battling an illness and has sat out for the last three games, but he will replace Jyrki Jokipakka in the lineup tonight in Pittsburgh. Kulak has just three assists in 18 games with the Flames this season.
Kulak has been a healthy scratch for seven straight games, but will replace Jyrki Jokipakka in the lineup tonight. Kulak has registered three assists in 15 games with the Flames this season.
Landeskog has been sidelined for 10 games, but it looks like he’ll be back in the lineup tonight in Montreal. In his first 15 games of the season, Landeskog collected eight points (4G / 4A) and should jump onto a line with Nathan MacKinnon.
Landeskog has been sidelined since November 15th and will not play tonight in Boston. Landeskog is progressing, but is not quite ready to return to the lineup tonight. Monitor his status as we head into the weekend.
Landeskog will miss his ninth consecutive game with a lower-body injury. Head coach Jared Bednar said that Landeskog is progressing and practiced in a no-contact sweater on Monday, but he will still sit out vs. the Predators. Monitor his status leading up to Thursday’s game in Boston.
Burns is a special player and that forced the Sharks to sign him to the longest contract in franchise history. Burns will be 32 in March, so he will be 40-year-old in the final year of his contract, which isn’t ideal, but was necessary to get him signed. After a historic 2015-16 season, Burns has picked up 16 points (7G / 9A) in 19 games, to put him on pace for a career-high 30 goals and 38 assists (68 points)
Landeskog will not play Monday in Columbus and remains day-to-day with a lower-body injury. The Avalanche captain stayed in Denver instead of travelling with the team, but the Avalanche return home for a game vs. Edmonton on Wednesday.
Landeskog will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury. With Landeskog out, A.J. Greer will remain in the lineup for his third career NHL games. Monitor Landeskog’s status prior to Monday’s game.
Landeskog missed Wednesday’s practice and will not play Thursday vs. the Stars. The Avalanche may get Matt Duchene back, but losing Landeskog will be a big loss. He is listed as day-to-day, so monitor his status prior to Saturday’s game.
Lehkonen suffered an undisclosed injury in Saturday’s game vs. the Flyers. Lehkonen missed Monday’s practice and will not play Tuesday vs. the Bruins. Consider him day-to-day.
Kulak, 22, sat out of the first two games of the season, but will be in the lineup for Dennis Wideman on Saturday. Kulak had 17 points (3G / 14A) in 59 games with Stockton (AHL) a season ago. He has no points in nine career NHL games.
MacKinnon, 20, was the first overall pick in 2013 and is coming off of three strong seasons to start his NHL career. In 2015-16, MacKinnon had 21 goals and 31 assists (52 points) in 72 games. He has missed 28 games over the three years, but has scored at a strong pace—22 goals, 35 assists per 82 games. Entering his age 21 season, expect MacKinnon to take another step forward.
Statistically Kadri didn’t have the greatest season but the Maple Leafs were impressed with his development and have inked him to a very reasonable six-year extension. Kadri will look to build off of his 2015-16 season where he had 17 goals and 28 assists (45 points) in 76 games. This raise should also help him pay for all those fines that seem to be adding up.
Kadri was assessed a two-minute minor on the play, but has been suspended for the final four games of the regular season. Kadri finishes the season with 45 points (17G / 28A) in 76 games. Tyler Bozak will take over as the team’s top line centre.
