McCabe failed to record a point in the only game he played in Rochester. With the Americans having the night off, McCabe has been recalled and could be in the lineup this afternoon vs. Tampa Bay.
McCabe, 21, was a healthy scratch in the season opener and was sent back to the AHL this morning to make room to recall Nathan Lieuwen. McCabe had 29 points (5G / 24A) in 57 games with Rochester last season.
Kings’ head coach Darryl Sutter called Muzzin “doubtful” on Monday, but on Tuesday he was upgraded to probable for Wednesday’s game vs. the Sharks. Monitor Muzzin’s status during the morning skate, but things are trending in the right direction.
Muzzin has been dealing with an upper-body injury throughout the preseason but returned to practice on Monday. Despite returning to the team session, coach Darryl Sutter called Muzzin “doubtful” for Wednesday’s game against the Sharks.
Domi, 20, had just one assists, nine shots and a minus-2 rating in the preseason, but showed enough to crack the opening night roster after being sent home last year. The 2013 12th overall pick had 102 points (32G / 70A) in 57 games with London (OHL) last year.
Jarnkrok is battling an illness and is questionable for the season finale on Saturday. An illness might force him out of just one game, but he should be ready for the playoffs.
Tanev does not provide much in terms of offence or fantasy value, but he has been an outstanding defenseman for the Canucks this season. He was set to become a restricted free agent at the end of the season, but is now locked up through the 2019-20 NHL season.
Despite missing Friday's practice, Ekman-Larsson has not been ruled out of Saturday's game vs. the Devils. Monitor his status during tomorrow's morning skate.
Ekman-Larsson was stapled from behind by Joakim Nordstrom in the Coyotes loss to the Blackhawks on Thursday. It was late in the third period, but he left and did not return. His absence this afternoon makes him questionable for Saturday’s contest vs. the Devils.
Tanev has been out with a concussion since February 14th, but will be back in tonight vs. Anaheim. Tanev will play in his usual spot on the top-pair with Alex Edler. The 25-year-old has registered 15 points (2G / 13A) in 53 games this season.
Stolarz still has not played any NHL action during his call-up. With his return to the minors it suggests that Ray Emery will be back in the lineup on Tuesday.
McCabe played twice during his call-up, but his return to the minors suggests that Nikita Zadorov will get back into the lineup after being benched for the last two contests.
Stolarz served as Rob Zepp’s backup on Tuesday, but has been reassigned to Lehigh Valley, which means that Steve Mason will dress on Thursday.
Stolarz, 21, has gone 7-11-3 with a 3.17 GAA and .908 SV% with Lehigh Valley this season. He is unlikely to get into a game as he expected to serve as Rob Zepp’s backup for at least the next two games.
McCabe, 21, has scored four goals and 21 assists (25 points) in 49 games with Rochester this season. McCabe will make his season debut tonight with Nikita Zadorov out for discipline reasons. McCabe had one assist in seven games with the Sabres last season.
Tanev missed Monday’s game with an upper-body injury that is believed to be related to his hand. GM Jim Benning announced after Monday’s game that Tanev’s injury is not all that serious and he is day-to-day.
Tanev was reportedly spotted leaving the morning skate with an ice bag on his hand. With Tanev out, the Canucks will be without their top-pair because Alex Edler is also out. Alex Biega will make his NHL debut alongside Luca Sbisa in Tanev’s absence.
Stolarz did not get into a game during his recall and with Rob Zepp now healthy, Stolarz will swap places with him and head back to Lehigh Valley. The 21-year-old is 7-10-1 with a 3.04 GAA and .911 SV% in the AHL.
Tanev has missed the last two games, but was back at the Canucks morning skate on Monday. He will be paired with Alexander Edler if he returns to the lineup.
Stolarz, 21, was a second-round pick (45th overall) of the Flyers in 2012. He has gone 7-10-1 with a 3.04 GAA and .911 SV% in his rookie season with Lehigh Valley. He is likely not ready to play in the NHL, but with Steve Mason out at the NHL level and Rob Zepp out at the AHL level, the Flyers did not have a choice. He will back-up Ray Emery on Tuesday.
