Duchene was pulled off of the ice in the middle of tonight’s game in Brooklyn and heads to Ottawa, where he will make his Senators debut in Sweden against…Colorado.The 26-year-old has recorded four goals and six assists (10 points) in 13 games so far this season and has a career-high of 30 goals (2016) and 47 assists (2014). He will replace Kyle Turris, who heads to Nashville as a part of this trade.
Petrovic has been a healthy scratch in three of the last five games, including vs. the Lightning on Monday, but will replace an unnamed player in the lineup tomorrow. He has just two assists in eight games this season.
DeSmith was recalled to serve as Matt Murray’s backup after Antti Niemi was claimed off of waivers by the Panthers. DeSmith made his NHL debut on Sunday, replacing Murray in the first period and went on to allow three goals on 15 shots.
Petrovic has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will replace MacKenzie Weegar in the lineup tonight vs. the Ducks. Petrovic has just one assist in six games, but has collected 14 hits (2.33 hits/GP).
Kero is dealing with an undisclosed injury and will be replaced by Tommy Wingels on the fourth line. Kero played 7:35 TOI in the season opener and is listed as day-to-day.
Despite appearing in just 49 games last season, Petrovic nearly topped his career-high in points, posting 14 points (1G / 13A) with the Panthers. Petrovic is a solid third-pairing defenseman on a talented Panthers’ back-end, but won’t have a fantasy impact.
Shortly after they announced that they will be buying out goalie Antti Niemi, the Stars used some of that cap-space to lock up Lindell for the next two years. The 23-year-old defenseman had 18 points (6G / 12A) in 73 games in his first full NHL season—a year after he had 42 points (14G / 28A) in 73 AHL games. He has a healthy amount of offensive upside and should factor into fantasy circles in 2017-18.
Heiskanen is a smooth skating two-way defenseman, who recorded 10 points (5G / 5A) in 37 games with HIFK Helsinki in Finland’s top league. Heiskanen was one of, if not the best defenseman at the U18 World Championship this spring.
Benn missed Friday’s game with an eye injury that he suffered in a fight on Thursday. He was back on the Stars’ top line this morning and will play tonight. He has 24 goals and 39 assists (63 points) in 66 games this season.
Benn decided to drop the mitts with 6-foot-7, 265 lbs. defenseman Nikita Tryamkin and was hurt in the tilt. Probably not the best idea to take on a monster and it forced Benn to miss the third period. With the Stars on a back-to-back, Benn is questionable for Friday’s game.
Dumba missed the last two games, including last night’s contest with an illness, but is set to go on the tail-end of the Wild’s Florida back-to-back. Dumba is expected to replace Gustav Olofsson in the lineup and enters play with 25 points (7G / 18A) in 59 games this season.
Dumba is battling an illness and will not play tonight in Tampa Bay. With Dumba out, Gustav Olofsson will be in the lineup for his second straight game. Dumba is also questionable for tomorrow’s game in Florida.
Barber, 23, was a sixth round pick (No.167 overall) in 2012 and could be making his NHL debut on Friday. He has seven goals and fourth assists (11 points) in just 18 games with Hershey this season.
Dumba missed the last four games with a lower-body injury, but will replace Nate Prosser in the lineup tonight vs. the Blackhawks. Dumba has registered seven goals and 17 assists (24 points) in 54 games this season.
Dumba missed Sunday's game vs. the Red Wings because of a lower-body injury that he suffered when he crashed into the boards on Friday. Head coach Bruce Boudreau called him day-to-day and said he hopes to skate on Tuesday or Wednesday, so his status for Tuesday's game is in doubt.
