The Panthers have recalled Riley Stillman from Springfield (AHL).
Stillman has no points in three games with the Panthers and has picked up just two points (1G / 1A) in 13 games on the Springfield blueline this season. There's no word on if Stillman will play on Sunday bit if all six defensemen are healthy, he could replace Josh Brown or Mark Pysyk.
Janmark (lower-body) will not play on Tuesday.
Janmark was originally expected to play but did not take part in line rushes at the morning skate and will not play vs. the Canucks. Janmark remains day-to-day, so monitor his status leading up to Thursday's game vs. the Jets.
Janmark (lower-body) will likely return to the Stars lineup on Tuesday.
Janmark missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but is expected to play Tuesday vs. the Canucks. There's no word on who Janmark will replace but it will likely be Nicholas Caamano.
The Bruins recalled Trent Frederic from Providence (AHL).
Frederic will likely make his season debut on Friday night because Zach Senyshyn is out for at least four weeks with a lower-body injury. Frederic, who has five assists in 15 AHL games this season, failed to register a single point in 15 games with Boston in 2018-19.
The Sabres have recalled Curtis Lazar from Rochester (AHL).

Janmark is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
Hyman (knee) will make his season debut on Wednesday.
Hyman missed the first 19 games of the season but will play Wednesday vs. the Islanders. Hyman's return comes at a great time, as he'll slide in for Mitch Marner, who is out with a high-ankle sprain. Hyman likely won't have the same success with Marner out, but he'll still be with John Tavares on Wednesday. The 27-year-old set career-highs in goals (21) and points (41) in 71 games last year.
The Blackhawks have signed Alec Regula to a three-year, entry-level contract.
