Goalie Start
Gibson led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.
Gibson went 14-31-8 with a 3.99 GAA and .899 SV% in 53 games (52 starts) last year. It was the third time in four years that Gibson led the NHL in losses but the first time he allowed over 200 goals in a season. The Ducks should be a little better in front of him this season, but he remains a low-end fantasy option on most nights. Tonight he faces the Golden Knights, who he was 1-2-0 with a 4.75 GAA and .880 SV% last year.

Viktor Arvidsson (lower body) has been placed on the long-term injured-reserve.
Arvidsson entered Wednesday questionable to play in the Kings' season opener, and now he's expected to miss an extended period of time after being placed on the long-term injured reserve with a lower-body injury. The veteran winger has struggled with injuries in recent years, missing 13.5 percent of the games since 2020. With Arvidsson unavailable, look for Alex Laferriere to remain with the club moving forward.
Arvidsson (lower-body) is expected to be out for "a while."

Viktor Arvidsson (lower-body) will miss the Kings' season opener vs. Colorado.
Arvidsson has been officially ruled out for the Kings' season opener against the Avalanche on Wednesday night. Due to salary cap constrictions, the Kings are expected to skate with only 11 forwards. Arvidsson remains day-to-day as Trevor Lewis is projeted to jump into his third-line spot alongside Phillip Danault and Trevor Moore.
Arvidsson (lower-body) is questionable to play in the Kings' home opener.
Arvidsson is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury and is questionable to play on Wednesday. If he's unavailable, the Kings will likely have to play a man short due to cap constraints.
The Red Wings assigned Simon Edvinsson to Grand Rapids (AHL).
Edvinsson made his NHL debut last season, tallying two points (2G / 0A) in nine games with the Red Wings but will begin this year's campaign in the AHL. The former sixth overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft will likely see some time in the NHL this season but, barring any injuries, is unlikely to be a regular in the lineup.
Tarasov (knee) may not be ready for opening night.
Tarasov was injured in practice before training camp started and has yet to make an appearance. GM Jarmo Kekäläinen said the team does not have a timeline on Tarasov's return, which is why they claimed Spencer Martin on waivers last Friday.
Mason Appleton is considered day-to-day as he deals with a lower-body injury.
Appleton has yet to appear in the preseason for Winnipeg after sustaining a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day for the time being. The 27-year-old scored five goals, 11 assists, had eight PIMs, 71 SOG and a +2 plus/minus through 41 games with the Jets in 2022-23. He is entering his seventh NHL season and is expected to be a crucial part of the Jets' bottom-six.

The Red Wings signed Nate Danielson to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Red Wings have signed Alex DeBrincat to a four-year extension worth $31.5 million ($7.875M AAV).
DeBrincat was reportedly seeking a long-term deal, which Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman was not keen on giving out. The term was likely what held up the trade, which had long been rumoured to be happening. DeBrincat is now signed through the 2027 NHL season and is one of four forwards in Detroit with at least four years on their deals, joining Dylan Larkin, Andrew Copp and J.T. Compher.
The Red Wings acquired Alex DeBrincat from the Senators for a conditional 2024 1st round pick, a 2024 4th round pick, Dominik Kubalik and Donovan Sebrango.
DeBrincat was an RFA that had made it known that he was not interested in re-signing with the Senators. After one season, where he scored 27 goals with 39 assists (66 points) in 82 games, DeBrincat was traded to his hometown team, where he immediately becomes their best goal-scorer and a crucial part of the Red Wings' rebuild. DeBrincat is a two-time 40-goal scorer and has averaged 38 goals and 38 assists (76 points) per 82-games over the last three seasons.

Philadelphia has re-signed Ronnie Attard to a two-year, $1.7 million contract extension ($850,000 AAV).
Attard had 12 goals, 20 assists, 41 PIMs and a +10 plus/minus with Lehigh Valley (AHL) in 2022-23 and has signed a two-year, $1.7 million contract extension ($850,000 AAV) with Philadelphia. The 24-year-old defenseman appeared in two games for the Flyers last season but failed to pick up a point in his brief showing.
Arizona has signed John Leonard to a one-year, two-way contract ($775,000 AAV).
Leonard spent most of the 2023 season in the AHL, finishing second on the Milwaukee Admirals in points (44), third in goals (17) and fourth in assists (27). With Arizona, he should battle for a roster spot in training camp, but seems destined to start the year in the AHL due to his two-way contract.
Toronto has signed William Lagesson to a one-year, two-way contract ($775,000 AAV).
Lagesson had 10 goals, 22 assists, 46 PIMs and a +14 plus/minus through 65 games last season with the Chicago Wolves (AHL) and will join Toronto on a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000. The 27-year-old defenseman failed to see any NHL playing time in 2022-23 but still brings 60 games of experience as well as seven career assists to the Maple Leafs.

The Red Wings have signed J.T. Compher to a five-year contract worth $25.5 million ($5.1M AAV).
Compher had 17 goals, 35 assists, 154 SOG, 33 PIMs and a +8 plus/minus through 82 games with Colorado in 2022-23 and has signed a five-year contract worth $25.5 million ($5.1M AAV) with Detroit. The 28-year-old left-winger joins the Red Wings after seven successful seasons in Colorado that included a Stanley Cup win, 88 goals and 194 points in 423 career NHL games.
