Markstrom took shots early
Markstrom gets back on the ice, which is a good sign. The Cats will proceed with caution with their stud prospect.
New Jersey Devils News
RALEIGH, NC – Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has acquired forwards Evgenii Dadonov (ehv-GEH-nee do-DON-nauv) and A.J. Jenks from the Florida Panthers in exchange for forwards Jon Matsumoto and Mattias Lindstrom.
Dadonov struggled to stick with the more-competitive Panthers this season, playing only 15 games. While in the AHL he scored five goals and nine points over 20 games. Expect him to get another look or two in Carolina.
Goalie Start
Of course, Sutter did not announce his starting goalie, but it would be a surprise if Jonathan Bernier did not get the call.
Bernier boasts a 2-0-0 record with a 1.00 GAA, .966 SV% and one shutout in two career starts against the Oilers.
Goalie Start
Bernier first goalie off the ice....
Bernier won his only career start against the Caps, stopping 22 of 23 shots faced.
Panthers recalled G Foster from AHL with Markstrom tweaking knee #flapanthers
Markstrom is not healthy enough to even backup tonight which indicates this injury is relatively serious. The Cats will proceed with caution with their stud prospect.
#FlaPanthers Kevin Dineen says Jacob Markstrom should be Ok; sounds like he tweaked knee that needed surgery last year. No call up likely.
Markstrom took a maintenance day today but is not expected to miss any playing time. At the very least, expect the prized prospect to backup Scott Clemmensen.

John Madden in for #FlaPanthers, Jacob Markstrom as well #njDevils

Stars recall Brenden Dillon
Dillon scored two goals and 13 points over 31 games in the AHL. He could be used as insurance and serve as a seventh defender.
Call up / Send down
Dineen said that Theodore will miss the next few games and rookie Jacob Markstrom will be recalled from San Antonio again.
Markstrom is still one of the League's top prospects and should get some more NHL experience over the next couple of games. If you need a spot start, he should be an excellent option.

Jonathan Bernier in net
Bernier has never faced the Jets.

Noesen currently has 13 goals and 34 points while playing with the Plymouth Whalers of the OHL. Expect him to make a push for a roster spot next summer.
Goalie Start
Based on precedence, it's likely the Jets will see Bernier tomorrow night.

Tatar sent back to minors this morning, as expected
As expected, Tatar was just insurance for Jiri Hudler. He returns to the AHL, where he gets playing time.
Line Change
Tomas Tatar's flight to Nash delayed. Didn't make morning skate. Will take warmup and play if needed. Emmerton in. #bootscootinghockey
Tatar will only play tonight if Jiri Hudler or another banged up forward can't draw in. Otherwise, expect the talented winger to head back to the AHL.

The Red Wings recalled forward Tomas Tatar from the Grand Rapids Griffins for precautionary reasons.
Apparently there is another player who may not be able to play. Tatar scored seven goals and 21 points in 26 games while in the AHL and would presumably fill in on a scoring line.
