Jones has spent time between the AHL and NHL this season, scoring three goals with 11 points in 14 games in Bakersfield and three assists in 23 games with the Oilers. Jones projects to be a third-pairing defenseman heading into 2020-21, so this is a great cap-hit for the Oilers.

Rittich surrendered four goals on 34 shots in the Flames win in Minnesota on January 5th. Cam Talbot has started the last three games, so they'll get Rittich a game tonight so he doesn't sit too long. The 27-year-old is 9-6-2 with a 2.87 GAA, .913 SV% and one shutout on the road and gets set to face a Montreal team that has lost five in a row while scoring just 1.60 goals per game on home ice.

Lewis has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but will play Monday vs. the Blue Jackets. Lewis will likely replace Matt Luff on the Kings’ fourth line and comes into play with just six points (1G / 5A) in 30 games this season.



Rittich was yanked after allowing three goals on seven shots in the Flames 5-2 loss to the Canucks on Sunday. It was a rough outing for Rittich, who is 5-2-1 with a 2.90 GAA and .909 SV% in December. Tonight he faces a Blackhawks team that has won four of their last five while scoring 3.60 goals per game.


Moore is out indefinitely with a concussion so the Maple Leafs have moved him to IR to open up a roster spot to recall Kenny Agostino from Toronto (AHL).

Rittich allowed one goal on 27 shots in the Flames win in Dallas last Sunday. Rittich has played extremely well over the last month, going 6-1-1 with a 2.47 GAA and .922 SV% in his last eight starts. Rittich was 2-1-0 with a 1.68 GAA and .938 SV% in three starts against Edmonton in 2018-19.

Lewis suffered an upper-body injury in his first shift in Buffalo on Saturday and it doesn't look like he will play Monday vs. the Blues. With Lewis hurt, Martin Frk was called up from the AHL this morning but look Matt Luff to replace him on a line with Jeff Carter.

Edler has missed the last 10 games with an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup tonight vs. the Oilers. Edler has enjoyed a good year, scoring four goals with 11 assists (15 points) in 27 games.

Moore returned to the Maple Leafs lineup on Saturday but will come right back out for today's game vs. Carolina. According to the Maple Leafs, his status will be updated after the game.

Rittich surrendered four goals on 43 shots in the Flames loss to the Canadiens on Thursday. Rittich has lost two straight while giving up seven goals on 73 shots (.904 SV%) and draws a tough road assignment in Dallas. The Stars have won 10 of their last 13 home games (10-2-1) while scoring 3.31 goals per game.

His return comes a couple games later than expected but Moore will likely replace Dmytro Timashov on Saturday night.

Kuemper went down without contact and was forced to leave late in Thursday's loss to the Wild and is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. This is a huge blow for the Coyotes but Antti Raanta is a more than capable starter who will carry the water for the Coyotes moving forward. Don't expect to see Kuemper until early-January at the absolute earliest.

It looked Moore was going to play Tuesday but suffered a setback and will miss his 15th straight game on Friday. With Moore out, Dmytro Timashov will remain in Toronto's lineup for at least one more game.

Rittich surrendered three goals on 30 shots in the Flames loss to the Hurricanes last Saturday. Cam Talbot started Tuesday, so Rittich will be well-rested for tonight's game vs. the Canadiens. Saturday's loss snapped a five-game winning streak for Rittich, who is 9-2-2 with a 2.36 GAA, .919 SV% and one shutout at the Scotiabank Saddledome this season. Tonight he faces a Canadiens team that has won four of their last five while scoring 13 goals (2.60 GF/gm).

Kuemper stopped 26 of 28 shots in the Coyotes 3-2 win in San Jose on Tuesday. Kuemper has allowed two goals in three straight games and is 5-1-0 with a 1.98 GAA and .935 SV% in his last six starts. Tonight he faces the team that drafted him for the second time this season--he allowed four goals on 24 shots in 4-3 loss in the first meeting (Nov.9).
