Sheary will miss a couple of weeks with an upper-body injury that it is believed he suffered late in Monday’s overtime loss. Evan Rodrigues will make his season debut replacing Sheary on Wednesday and will likely be his permanent replacement for the next couple of weeks.

Sheary played a season-high 12:05 TOI on Monday night but is questionable for Wednesday’s game due to an upper-body injury. The Sabres called him day-to-day, so monitor his status during tomorrow’s morning skate.

Quick was limited to 46 starts last season and went 16-23-7 while posting career-worsts in GAA (3.38) and SV% (.888). You could blame it on playing behind a bad team but his backup, Jack Campbell, was third in the NHL in SV% and fifth in GAA. Entering his 13th season, Quick could bounce-back but don’t bank on it. He was 1-2-0 with a 3.45 GAA and .869 SV% vs. the Oilers last season.

Sheary didn’t play in Saturday’s preseason finale and missed Sunday’s practice as well. Sabres head coach Ralph Krueger said that Sheary skated on his own before practice, but his absence over the weekend clouds his status for Thursday’s season opener.

Soucy improved on his first AHL season, posting 20 points (5G / 15A) in 66 games with Iowa. The 6-foot-5, 208 lbs. defenseman has the kind of size that the Wild’s blueline lacks but he likely sits eighth on the depth chart at the moment, so look for him to remain in Iowa to start 2020.

Carrick spent most of the 2018-19 season with San Diego (AHL), where he led the team in goals (32) and points (61) in 61 games. The 27-year-old played in six games with the Ducks, picking up just one assist—giving him three points (1G / 2A) in 25 career NHL games.

The Lightning needed to clear some cap-space with Brayden Point and others set to become RFA’s on July 1st, so they move Miller and his $5.25M cap-hit. After scoring 10 goals in his first 19 games following his trade to Tampa Bay, Miller recorded just 13 goals with 34 assists (47 points) in 75 games in his first full season with the Lightning. He was stuck in a bottom-6 role with Tampa but should be in the top-6 with the Canucks.

Shesterkin, 23, was a fourth-round pick (No.118 overall) in 2014 and enjoyed an outstanding season as with St. Petersburg SKA (KHL). Shesterkin went 24-4-0 with a 1.11 GAA, .953 SV% in 10 shutouts in 28 games this season.

Shortly after being acquired from the Hurricanes, Fox has agreed to an entry-level contract with the Rangers. The Hobey Baker Award finalist had nine goals and 39 assists (48 points) in 33 games at Harvard University.

The Hurricanes could end up receiving two second-round picks if Fox plays 30 NHL games for the Rangers next season. Fox was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, scoring nine gaols and 39 assists (48 points) in 33 games as a Junior at Harvard University. The Hurricanes were unable to sign Fox, who had made it known he wanted to play for the Rangers.
