Hallander has 10 goals with 13 assists (23 points) in 52 AHL games this season. This is Hallander's first season in North America after spending the last three in the SHL.


Johnsson has missed the last two games with an illness but could be back in the lineup on Saturday. Johnsson will replace Miles Wood (hip) if he plays.

The Bruins have eight NHL defensemen so they are expected to rotate them with some regularity. Clifton will be replaced by Josh Brown, who will be making his Bruins debut.


Lizotte was not on the ice for the Kings' morning skate and will not play vs. the Kraken. Lias Andersson will draw into the lineup to replace him on the fourth line.


It's unclear why Malkin is not on the ice, he was present for the morning skate and was expected to play in New York. Jeff Carter would likely move up the lineup to replace Malkin.



Rakell did not arrive in time for the morning skate but is still expected to make his debut vs. the Blue Jackets. With him missing the morning skate, it's unclear who he will skate with.






Rakell will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury but he's also a key trade piece for the Ducks, so they may be playing it safe ahead of Monday's deadline.
