The Panthers recalled Samuel Montembeault from Springfield (AHL).
Montembeault, 21, started the season as Springfield’s backup but tonight he is expected to be the Panthers’ backup with Roberto Luongo and James Reimer out with injuries. Montembeault has gone 12-15-1 with a 3.00 GAA and .904 SV% in 30 games with the Thunderbirds and he is expected to backup Harri Sateri vs. the Capitals.
Danault is day-to-day with concussion-like symptoms.
This is far from surprising considering Danault was hospitalized after getting hit in the head by a Zdeno Chara slapshot on Saturday. With Danault out, Daniel Carr will draw into the Canadiens lineup vs. the Islanders.
Danault (head) was released from the hospital on Sunday; not expected to play on Monday.
Danault had to be stretchered off of the ice on Saturday after taking a Zdeno Chara slapshot in the head. It was a scary scene on the Bell Centre ice, but he was released from the hospital yesterday, but still it is highly unlikely he will be available for tonight’s game vs. the Islanders.
Kreider will undergo surgery to have his rib resected; remains out indefinitely.
Kreider is already out with a blood clot in his arm and will undergo surgery to have a rib resected and will remain out for an extended period of time.
Kreider has been diagnosed with a blood clot in his right arm and is out indefinitely.
Kreider reportedly left the first period because his arm felt weird and he was sent to the hospital where they discovered he has a blood clot in his arm. Kreider will be sidelined for an extended period of time. Players with similar blood clots have missed about 6-8 weeks.
Kreider left Wednesday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return.
Kreider did not return after the first period of Wednesday’s shootout win over the Capitals after sustaining an upper-body injury. Head coach Alain Vigneault said that they will have an update on Kreider on Thursday, so consider him questionable for Friday’s game in Detroit.
Anderson will make his season debut on Tuesday against the Hurricanes.
Anderson appeared in a game with Cleveland (AHL) over the weekend and will get into the Blue Jackets lineup tomorrow in Carolina. Anderson skated with Brandon Dubinsky and Matt Calvert on the third line on Monday.
The Panthers have signed Michael Matheson to an eight-year deal worth $39M ($4.875M AAV).
Matheson, 23, was the No.23 pick in 2012 and has become a big part of the Panthers’ blueline, averaging over 21 minutes per game last year and through the first two games of this season. He has some offensive ability to his game and should be able to top his 17 points (7G / 10A) from last season.

Anderson will draw into the Blue Jackets lineup on Saturday.
Anderson is not expected to be in the Blue Jackets’ opening night lineup.
Anderson missed training camp due to a contract dispute, but signed a three-year deal on Tuesday. Despite inking a new contract, head coach John Tortorella said that Anderson is out on Friday. Anderson will likely need a few practice sessions to get back into the swing of things, but don’t expect the power-forward to sit out for too many contests.
The Blue Jackets signed Josh Anderson to a three-year contract worth $5.55M ($1.85M AAV).
Anderson held out of training camp as an unsigned RFA, but gets a contract one-day before the start of the NHL season. The 23-year-old is coming off of 17-goal, 12-assist season and will look to carve out a larger role this season. Missing training camp will put Anderson behind the 8-ball and likely force him to start the season in the bottom-6.
The Golden Knights signed Nick Suzuki to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Golden Knights select Nick Suzuki with the No.13 overall pick.
Suzuki excels as a playmaker, but he also showed off some goal scoring ability in 2016-17, scoring 45 goals to go along with 51 assists (96 points) in 65 games with the Owen Sound Attack. Suzuki is a smart centre who makes those around him play better.
