The Flames have recalled Jon Gillies from Stockton (AHL).
Gillies, 23, accompanied the team to Detroit and is expected to serve as Eddie Lack’s backup with Mike Smith (undisclosed) out. Gillies has gone 4-3-1 with a 2.50 GAA and .918 SV% in eight AHL games this season.
Coyle (fibula) took part in Tuesday’s morning skate but remains without a timetable for his return.
The original timetable on Coyle’s expected return was 6-to-8 weeks and we are currently at the four-week mark. It appears that Coyle is right on schedule but he still has at least a few weeks before he actually gets into the Wild lineup. q
Severson will draw back into the Devils lineup on Thursday.

Jenner (back) was activated from IR and could make his season debut on Saturday.
Coyle will miss 6-8 weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a right fibula fracture.
With Coyle expected to miss at least a month and a half, the Wild have placed him on LTIR which opens up a roster spot and gives them some cap relief. This is a huge loss for the Wild as Coyle already had two assists in three games and is coming off of a season in which he recorded 56 points (18G / 38A) in 82 games.
Coyle (lower-body) will not play on Saturday.
Coyle was hit by a shot in Thursday’s win over the Blackhawks and has already been ruled out for Saturday’s contest. The Wild are extremely banged up up front with Coyle joining Zach Parise, Mikael Granlund, Nino Niederreiter and Marcus Foligno in the press box.

The Senators have recalled Christian Jaros from Belleville (AHL).
The Senators blueline is banged up; Erik Karlsson is still fighting a foot injury, Johnny Oduya missed Saturday’s game with a lower-body injury and Ben Harpur left that game with an upper-body ailment. Jarod was a fifth round pick in 2015 and has played just two games in North America after coming over from Sweden. Jaros will likely serve as the Senators’ seventh defenseman on their road-trip.
The Devils have re-signed Damon Severson to a six-year deal worth $25 million ($4.1667M AAV).
Severson was a restricted free agent coming off of his entry-level contract and was able to come to terms with the Devils a few days before the start of training camp. Severson owns a big point shot and some sleeper value entering the 2017-18 season, after posting 31 points (3G / 28A) in 80 games a season ago.
Werenski (shoulder) will return to the lineup for Game 1.
