Jarnkrok has been out since the third game of the season but head coach John Hynes said that he "looked good" in practice on Wednesday and he "anticipates" he'll play on Thursday. The Predators placed Brad Richardson on IR on Wednesday, clearing the way for Jarnkrok to be activated.



Johnson was an undrafted free agent who spent last year in Rockford (AHL), picking up four goals and four assists (eight points) in 52 games. Johnson will replace Nicolas Beaudin, who dressed as a No.7 defenseman on Friday but was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Saturday.

Myers has been out since January 19th but will be back in the Flyers lineup on Saturday. Myers is expected to skate with Travis Sanheim and comes in pointless in his first four games of the season.


Murray allowed four goals on 26 shots in the Senators loss to the Jets last Thursday. Marcus Hogberg gave him the night off on Saturday, so they'll come back to Murray tonight in Vancouver. After winning his first start with Ottawa, Murray has lost three in a row while allowing a combined 11 goals on 94 shots (.883 SV%).




Head coach Sheldon Keefe is "not too concerned" with Matthews' upper-body injury. He told reporters Matthews was a possibility to play tonight but just wasn't feeling completely right, so they'll be cautious early in the season. With Matthews and Joe Thornton both out, the Maple Leafs will be without ⅔ of their top-line vs. the Oilers. Adam Brooks is expected to draw in to replace Matthews in some capacity.

Murray gave up four goals on 28 shots in the Senators' loss to the Jets on Tuesday. Murray has struggled in his first three games of the season, giving up a combined 10 goals on 91 shots (.890 SV%). Things won't get any easier on Thursday with a high-powered Jets team in town.

Myers suffered the injury on a hit from Jake McCabe, who also dislocated Morgan Frost's left shoulder in the same game. With Myers listed as week-to-week, he'll likely miss at least two weeks and Mark Friedman is expected to draw into the lineup for him on Thursday.



Robertson made his season debut on Saturday but suffered a knee injury, which Sheldon Keefe said is going to force him to "miss some time." If Robertson misses a lengthy period of time it puts the Maple Leafs in a salary cap crunch. They waived Jason Spezza and Aaron Dell on Saturday to try and free up some space for Robertson's replacement.

Ekman-Larsson was hurt late in Saturday's game on a hit from Evander Kane and is expected to miss an extended period of time. Moving him to IR, means Ekman-Larsson will miss at least three games but the expectation is that he will be out longer than that.
