The Penguins have recalled Derrick Pouliot from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).
Pouliot has spent the majority of the year with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, where he has registered five goals and nine assists (14 points) in 32 games this season. The 23-year-old had 14 points (2G / 12A) in 63 career NHL games and could be in the lineup on Wednesday because the Penguins are dealing with a multitude of injuries on the back-end.

Quick (groin) leads the Kings onto the ice for warmups.
Quick stopped 14 of 15 shots in the Kings’ season opener before leaving with a groin injury. Quick has missed the last four and a half months, but will make his return to the crease today vs. the Ducks. Quick is one of fantasy hockey’s top netminders and went 40-23-5 with a 2.22 GAA and .918 SV% in 2015-16.
The Kings have activated Jonathan Quick (groin) from IR.
Quick (groin) coming off of IR for Saturday’s game is “possible.”
Quick has been sidelined since the season opener by a groin injury, but General Manager Dean Lombardi said it’s “possible” that Quick is activated from IR and starts this afternoon’s game. Don’t expect to hear about Quick’s status until just before this afternoon’s 4p.m. ET puck-drop.
Bonino (illness) missed the morning skate and is not expected to play on Tuesday.
Quick (groin) took part in practice on Thursday.
Quick faced some shots and is stretching on the ice for the first time since getting hurt in mid-October. Quick isn’t expected to be back until March and this is the first step in his recovery.
Zibanejad (fibula) will return to the Rangers lineup on Tuesday.
Zibanejad missed the last 26 games with a broken fibula, but will be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Zibanejad centred the second line with Pavel Buchnevich and Rick Nash on his wings and enters Tuesday with five goals and 10 assists (15 points) in 19 games.
The Blackhawks have signed Artemi Panarin to a two-year contract extension worth $12 millions ($6.0M AAV).
The Blackhawks have a tough salary-cap situation, which is why they couldn’t give more term to Panarin. The young Russian winger has picked up 15 goals and 22 assists (37 points) in 37 games this season and has 114 points (45G / 69A) in 117 career NHL games.
Nash (personal) will not play on Sunday.
Nash will be held out of Sunday’s game due to personal reasons, so look for Jimmy Hayes to get back into the lineup. Consider Nash as day-to-day.

The Bruins have recalled Anton Blidh from Providence (AHL).
Blidh picked up one goal in two games with Providence after being sent down last week, to give him 10 points (6G / 4A) in 21 AHL games this season. He comes up having collected one assist in four games with Boston.
Quick (groin) will be out until March.
Quick’s original timetable was three months, which would have seen him return in mid-January, but Quick will be out closer to five months according to GM Dean Lombardi. The GM also added that they’re not ready “to throw the kitchen sink” at team’s goaltending problems, which means that they should continue to roll with Peter Budaj and Jeff Zatkoff in net.
The Bruins have sent Anton Blidh to Providence (AHL).
Blidh picked up one assist in four games with the Bruins during his call-up, but he will return to Providence with Noel Acciari ready to return to the lineup on Saturday.
