Bobrovsky will start against the Flyers on Thursday.

Bobrovsky will be back between the pipes for the Panthers on Thursday after Anthony Stolarz got the nod in Tuesday's 5-3 victory over the Devils. Bobrovsky picked up a third straight victory his last time out, allowing just two goals on 28 shots in Monday's 4-2 victory over the Rangers. The two-time Vezina Trophy winner owns a 31-11-2record on the year and a .918 SV%. He draws another strong matchup on Thursday with the Panthers being -260 favourites over the Flyers.

McCabe (illness) will return to Toronto's lineup on Thursday vs. Boston.

McCabe missed Toronto's game Wednesday vs. Buffalo due to illness but is expected to return for the second half of their back-to-back on Thursday in Boston. The 30-year-old defenseman has already tied his career high in points (22) and surpassed his previous highs in goals (6) through only 55 games played this season.

Toronto has acquired the rights to Cade Webber in exchange for a 2026 6th-round pick.

Carolina was unable to sign their 2019 fourth-round pick (99th overall) Cade Webber and traded his rights to Toronto for a 2026 6th-round pick on Thursday. The 23-year-old towering stay-at-home defenseman has scored only one goal and 16 points in 115 games played across four NCAA seasons with Boston University.

The Oilers have acquired Troy Stecher and a 2024 seventh-round pick from the Coyotes for a 2027 fourth-round pick.

Stecher will add some depth to the Oilers blueline ahead of Friday's trade deadline. The 29-year-old defenseman is in his eighth NHL season and has five points (1G / 4A), 52 hits, and 67 blocks in 47 games this season.

Marchenko will draw back into Columbus' lineup on Thursday vs. Edmonton.

Pascal Vincent and the Blue Jackets coaching staff opted to go with an 11-forward, seven-defenseman formation on Tuesday, but Marchenko will draw back into the lineup on Thursday in favour of Jake Bean. Marchenko tallied an assist and one shot on goal in his last outing, Monday's 6-3 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights.

Tanev (trade) will make his Stars debut in San Jose on Tuesday.

The Stars acquired Tanev on Wednesday by giving up a 2024 second-round pick, a 2026 fourth-round pick, Artem Grushnikov and a conditional 2026 third-round pick to acquire Tanev. Tanev is a rugged defenseman, who has racked up 171 blocked shots this season to go along with one goal and 13 assists (14 points) in 56 games. He should bring plenty of stability to the Stars' second pairing. He has missed two games since joining the Stars due to immigration issues.

Stolarz will start on Tuesday in New Jersey.

With Florida on the second half of their back-to-back, Anthony Stolarz will take over the crease after Sergei Bobrovsky secured the victory on Monday. Stolarz has made an excellent offseason acquisition as he has been the perfect backup all season with his 11-5-2 record, 2.02 GAA and .924 SV%. He heads to New Jersey to take on the struggling Devils' on Tuesday, who have lost five of their last seven games and are playing their first game under newly appointed head coach Travis Green.

MacEwen (lower body) left Saturday's game early and has yet to return to Ottawa's practices.

MacEwen played only 2:18 time-on-ice before exiting Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. The bruising forward was playing in his second game since being recalled last week. Rourke Chartier has been recalled from Belleville (AHL) in the interim.

Bobrovsky will start in New York on Monday.

Bobrovsky, fresh off a 21-save shutout in a 4-0 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, will return to the crease on Monday. The Panthers are 14-2-0 in their last 16, with Bobrovsky boasting a spectacular .949 SV% while allowing two or fewer goals in 10 straight contests (9-1-0). Bobrovsky and the Panthers enter action as -130 road favourites against the New York Rangers, who are 8-1-1 in their last 10.

Brisson has been reassigned to the Henderson Silver Knights (AHL).

Brisson was the odd-man out of Vegas' roster on Monday as Jack Eichel (knee) returned from Injured Reserve and will head back to Henderson (AHL). The 22-year-old made a solid first impression as he kicked off his NHL career with two goals, six points 18 SOG, two PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through 12 games played before his demotion on Monday.

Bobrovsky was the first goalie off the ice at Florida's morning skate.
