Tomasino missed the Predators' previous game due to an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup Thursday as they take on Arizona. The 21-year-old has two goals, four assists, 19 SOG and two PIMs through 10 games this season.

MacDermid had just returned from a two-week absence with an upper-body injury for one game and is now considered day-to-day with a new lower-body injury. The 28-year-old bruiser has four assists, 17 SOG, 49 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 37 games this season prior to his latest injury.

Spence had four goals, 37 assists, 30 PIMs and a -14 plus/minus through 50 games played with Ontario (AHL) and has been recalled to Los Angeles for the second time this season. The 22-year-old has 27 career NHL games played, with two goals and eight points.

Johansson was 13-9-2 with a .918 SV%, and 2.38 GAA with the Colorado Eagles (AHL) and has been recalled by the Avalanche Monday. The 27-year-old has seen one game of action with the Avalanche previously, stopping seven of seven shots faced.

Eklund had 17 goals, 24 assists, 43 PIMs and a -9 plus/minus through 52 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) and will be making his season debut with the Sharks on Saturday. Eklund was a 2021 1st round pick (7th overall) and has played in nine career NHL games previously, picking up four assists.

Blais has two goals, an assist, and 15 SOG through nine games since being traded back to the St. Louis Blues and has not signed a one-year, $1.0 Million contract extension. The 26-year-old has two goals, and eight points across 49 games with both the Blues and Rangers.

MacDermid left the Avalanche's previous game after 3:49 TOI due to a concussion after fighting Milan Lucic and will now miss Monday's game vs. Vegas as he remains in concussion protocol. The 28-year-old bruiser has four assists, 14 SOG, 49 PIMs and was a -2 plus/minus prior to the injury.

Johansson has a 12-9-2 record, .917 SV% and 2.44 GAA through 24 games played with the Colorado Eagles (AHL) and has been recalled Monday to the Avalanche. The 27-year-old has appeared in one game with the Avalanche this season, stopping all seven of the seven shots he faced.

Zetterlund has been in-and-out of the Devils lineup this season, scoring six goals with 14 assists (20 points) in 45 games. The 2017 third-round pick has an outstanding shot and will provide some offensive punch in the Sharks' middle-6. Zetterlund should see an increase in usage (12:57 ATOI in NJD) following this trade.
