Schenn’s three-game is done and he is set to return to the Flyers’ lineup on Thursday. Schenn is coming off of a career-year and will take his spot on the Flyers’ top line with Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds back from Michael Raffl, who was injured last night.
Gunnarsson played just 9:55 before leaving Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury. Gunnarsson will travel to Vancouver, but he may sit out of Tuesday’s game. If he’s out, look for Robert Bortuzzo to get back in the lineup.
Buchnevich has recorded one assist and four shots on goal while averaging 14:52 TOI in his first two career NHL games. With the rookie out, Rick Nash is expected to move into the top-6, Jesper Fast to the third line and Josh Jooris is expected to make his Rangers debut. Buchnevich is listed as day-to-day.
Gunnarsson served as as healthy scratch in the Blues’ season opener on Wednesday, but will get into the lineup tonight vs. the Wild. Gunnarsson has little-to-no fantasy value, having posted just nine points (3G / 6A) in 72 games last year.
Gunnarsson will be replaced by Robert Bortuzzo in Wednesday’s season opener in Chicago. Gunnarsson is not a fantasy asset, having registered just nine points (3G / 6A) in 72 games a season ago.
Bjugstad broke his hand during Tuesday’s preseason game against the Stars. The 24-year-old is a key face-off man and third line centre for the Panthers, but will miss at least the first month of the season.
Krug is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery and is expected to see his first preseason action on Tuesday. Krug is coming off of a career-high 44 points (4G / 40A) in 2015-16 and if all goes well on Tuesday, he should be ready for the season opener.
The Flyers and Schenn avoid arbitration by getting this deal signed. Schenn is coming off of a career-year, notching 26 goals and 33 assists (59 points) in 80 games. In the 2016 calendar year, Schenn was among the best fantasy forwards, collecting 44 points (19G / 25A) in 46 games from January-to-April—he had just 15 points (7G / 8A) in the first 34 games of the season. Schenn might not turn into a point-per-game player during the 2016-17 season, but he might be able to top 60 points for the first time in his career.
Leivo, 23, spent the majority of the 2015-16 season with the Toronto Marlies, but also appeared in 12 games with the Maple Leafs. During his time in the NHL he scored five goals, but was much more effective in the AHL, collecting 17 goals and 31 assists (48 points) in 51 games. Leivo will try and crack the Leafs’ roster during training camp.
Sundqvist, 22, was a healthy scratch last night and returns to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton where he has 17 points (5G / 12A) in 44 games this season. He has just one assist in 12 games with Pittsburgh this year.
Leivo, 22, had one goal in three games during his call-up. Leivo has five goals in 12 games with the Maple Leafs and heads back to 40 points (14G / 26A) in 45 games with the Marlies.
Gunnarsson, 29, has dressed in 62 games for the Blues this season, tallying seven points (2G / 5A), 27 penalty minutes and a plus-6 rating. Across 427 career regular season games between the Blues and Maple Leafs, Gunnarsson has registered 105 points (19G / 86A), 121 penalty minutes and a plus-30 rating.
Schenn suffered a head injury in the Flyers loss to the Oilers on Thursday and is listed as a game-time decision for Saturday’s game vs. the Blue Jackets. Schenn has been on fire recently, collecting seven goals and six assists (13 points) in his last 11 games.
Faulk limped off of the ice during Wednesday’s practice and will miss his seventh game of the Hurricanes’ last eight. His leg injury has not progressed like the Hurricanes’ had hoped, so he’ll sit tonight in Toronto. Michal Jordan is expected to be back in the lineup for Faulk.
Faulk has missed the last six games with a leg injury, but is listed as a game-time decision tonight and could return vs. the Flyers. Monitor Faulk’s status when pregame warmups start at 6:30 pm ET.
