Stolarz made 33 saves on 35 shots after replacing Calvin Pickard in the Flyers loss in Toronto on Saturday. It was a strong showing for the 24-year-old and likely earned himself a start tonight vs. Ottawa. Stolarz was 2-0-0 and stopped 64 of the 72 (.889 SV%) shots he faced in just three games with Lehigh Valley (AHL) before being called-up. He owns a 2.11 GAA and .931 SV% in limited NHL action.
The Maple Leafs don’t want to rush their star centre back, so they will wait for him to get through a full-contact practice before he returns to the lineup. Matthews will miss at least three games, so his next opportunity to return to practice is next Tuesday.
Mermis, 24, has played just one game with the Coyotes and returns to the Roadrunners where he has five points (1G / 4A) in nine games. His return to the AHL suggests that one or both of Jakob Chychrun and Alex Goligoski will return on Wednesday.
Lettieri appeared in 14 games with the Rangers before being sent down, but only averaged 8:53 TOI/gm. The 23-year-old failed to record a point in those 14 games and heads to Hartford, where he had 36 points (23G / 13A) in 55 games a season ago.
Mermis has yet to appear in a game with the Coyotes this season but has been recalled because Jakob Chychrun is out again. Mermis has five points (1G / 4A) in nine games with Tucson.
Jarnkrok has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury, but will play tonight in Arizona. Jarnkrok will skate with Kyle Turris and Craig Smith, but has just three goals and two assists in 15 games this season.
Carlo missed Sunday’s game vs. the Golden Knights and will miss at least Wednesday’s game as well. Carlo won’t initially travel with the team on their upcoming trip, but is expected to re-join the team at some point.
Mermis has recorded five points (1G / 4A) in nine games with the Roadrunners this season. Alex Goligoski and Jason Demers were not on the ice for Coyotes’ practice on Tuesday, which could have something to do with Mermis being called-up.
Tanev has missed the last five games with a hip issue that he suffered while blocking a shot in Vegas on October 24th. Tanev will likely log huge minutes while Alex Edler is out, which is nothing new for the Canucks blueliner, who was already playing nearly 22 minutes per night this season.
Boyd has missed the first 12 games of the season, but is set to make his season debut vs. the Oilers. The 25-year-old had one assist in eight games with the Capitals last season and one assist in two games with Hershey (AHL) during his conditioning stint. He will replace Nic Dowd on the Capitals’ fourth line.
Tanev will miss his fourth straight game with a bruised hip, but the Canucks are hopeful that he will be able to travel on the Canucks upcoming six-game road-trip.
Tanev has missed the last three games with a hip injury and was placed on IR to create a roster spot for the Canucks to recall Brendan Gaunce from Utica (AHL) because Brandon Sutter got hurt on Monday night.
Tanev will miss his third straight game with a hip issue and remains day-to-day. Michael Del Zotto will remain in the Canucks lineup while Tanev is sidelined.
McCabe suffered an upper-body injury on Saturday and is questionable for Tuesday’s game vs. the Flames. McCabe has had a solid start to the season, picking up seven points (1G / 6A) in 11 games.
