Grundstrom, 22, appeared in four straight games with the Kings but will switch spots with Martin Frk. During his time in the AHL, Grundstrom has picked up nine goals and 11 assists (20 points) in 30 games.
With Cody Ceci landing on IR, Liljegren will play alongside Rasmus Sandin on an all-rookie D-pair tonight vs. the Ducks. The 20-year-old, former first-round pick (No.17 in 2017) has 29 points (5G / 24A) in 38 AHL games this season.
With Cody Ceci set to miss at least one month and Morgan Rielly still out, Liljegren could finally get his chance in the NHL. Liljegren made his NHL debut on January 18th but played just 10:40 TOI as a seventh defenseman. During his time with the Marlies, the 20-year-old has amassed five goals and 24 assists (29 points) in 38 games.
Wennberg was hurt Sunday in Montreal and will miss at least three weeks. Ryan MacInnis was recalled from Cleveland (AHL) on Monday and will take Wennberg's spot in the lineup vs. the Panthers. Wennberg had just started to heat up over the last month and a half, picking up 10 points (3G / 7A) in his last 17 games.
Grundstrom has spent most of the season with Ontario, where he has 20 points (9G / 11A) in 30 games. During his brief time with the Kings, he has no goals and four assists in nine games.
Skinner missed the last 10 games with an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup vs. the Senators on Tuesday. Skinner had 17 points (11G / 6A) in his first 28 games of the season but had just two assists in his last 11 games before getting hurt in late-December.
Klingberg has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury but will replace Taylor Fedun in Colorado. Klingberg has scored two goals with 16 assists (18 points) in 34 games this season.
With Morgan Rielly and Jake Muzzin both out, the Maple Leafs recalled Rasmus Sandin last night and Liljegren today and both could draw into the lineup on Tuesday. The 20-year-old has four goals and 20 assists (24 points) in 33 AHL games this season.
Couture was forced to leave Tuesday's game against the Blues with an obvious lower-body injury that he suffered while crashing into the end boards. Couture had to be helped off of the ice and it didn't look good right away. The early reports are that Couture suffered a fractured ankle and is "week-to-week" but will likely be out until mid-February. Look for the Sharks to release a detailed timetable in the coming 24 hours.
Klingberg will miss his second straight game on Wednesday and likely won’t play Thursday in Vegas either. With Klingberg out, Esa Lindell is expected to continue to quarterback the second power-play unit.
Klingberg missed Friday's game vs. the Red Wings but will travel out west with the Stars, which suggests that he could be back in the lineup this week. Monitor his status following Tuesday's practice and during the morning skate ahead of Wednesday's game.
Klingberg will miss Friday's game vs. the Red Wings with a lower-body injury that he suffered in the Winter Classic. With Klingberg out, Taylor Fedun will draw into the Stars lineup for the first time since December 20th.
Klingberg is dinged up from the Winter Classic and was not on the ice for Thursday's practice, making him questionable for Friday's game vs. the Red Wings. He is officially listed as day-to-day but monitor his status during tomorrow's morning skate.
Liljegren has been promoted frequently lately but still hasn't made his NHL debut. It remains to be seen if he will play Tuesday but with Jake Muzzin out for an extended period of time, there should be a chance for the 20-year-old to play.
Liljegren could make his NHL debut Saturday vs. the Rangers. It's hard to imagine the Maple Leafs recalling one of their top defensive prospects to sit as a healthy scratch when they already have seven healthy blueliners on the roster. Liljegren has three goals and 14 assists to lead all Marlies defensemen with 17 points in 27 games.
Skinner was forced to leave Friday's game with an upper-body injury and Buffalo announced that he will miss at least three weeks. Skinner has been stuck in a tough stretch, point just one assist in his last nine games but this is still a horrible loss for the Sabres. Skinner will be out until at least mid-to-late January.
Leddy missed the last three games with a lower-body issue but is expected to replace Noah Dobson against the Predators. Leddy has 11 points (2G / 9A) and a plus-5 rating in 23 games this season.
Marincin has often been called up but has only appeared in seven NHL games this season. He is often squeezed back to the AHL due to cap reasons but has been recalled again, along with Timothy Liljegren, because Tyson Barrie was hurt on Saturday.
