The Avalanche have recalled Martin Kaut from Colorado (AHL).

Kaut had a strong start to the AHL season, scoring two goals with one assist in his first two games. It earned him yet another NHL promotion, something he's done very little with in the past. He's had NHL stints for three straight seasons, compiling just two goals and one assist in 20 games. Ben Meyers was sent to the AHL to make room for Kaut.

Dellandrea (finger) is expected to play in the Stars' season opener.

Dellandrea broke his finger on September 29th but is ready to go in the Stars season opener in Nashville. The 2018 No.13 overall pick, who had 50 points (23G / 27A) in 68 AHL games last season, is expected to skate on the second line with Tyler Seguin and Mason Marchment.

Dellandrea is expected to miss a couple of weeks with a broken finger.

Dellandrea broke his finger in Thursday's preseason game and is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks. Stars' head coach Pete DeBoer said that he had Dellandrea pencilled into the NHL roster, but the injury opens the door for someone else to step up.

Liljegren will miss training camp with an undisclosed injury.

Missing training camp puts Liljegren's status for the season opener in doubt and could add some pressure to the front office to get Rasmus Sandin (RFA) under contract. Liljegren played a combined 63 games with the Maple Leafs between the regular season and playoffs last season, totalling five goals and 18 assists (23 points).

Price (knee) is expected to miss the entire 2022-23 season.

Canadiens GM Kent Hughes released a statement on Thursday confirming that Price could potentially miss the entire 2022-23 campaign. Hughes said the "the news in terms of Carey's knee is pretty discouraging in the sense that there hasn't been any improvement through the rehab process all last season." Price, who will be added to LTIR, is expected to have an update on his future in the next month.

The Predators have signed Kiefer Sherwood to a one-year contract.

Sherwood has had stints with the Ducks and Avalanche since turning pro in 2018, appearing in a combined 87 career NHL games, posting 18 points (7G / 11A). With the Predators he'll likely remain a fringe roster player that will excel during his time in the AHL--he was third in the league in goals (36) and sixth in points (75) in 2022.
