Garland is questionable to play in Game 5 vs. the Coyotes.
Myers is expected to miss Game 3 due to a shoulder injury.
Ferland (undisclosed) has left the bubble to return home.
Ferland is believed to be dealing with the same concussion-like symptoms that have plagued him all season. Ferland is expected to be re-evaluated after the qualifying round but it seems unlikely that he will return in 2020.
MacEachern is expected to draw into the Blues lineup on Thursday.
MacEachern will replace Ivan Barbashev, who left the bubble to be with his wife for the birth of their child. The 26-year-old had seven goals and three assists (10 points) in 51 regular-season games.
The Golden Knights have signed Jiri Patera to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Canucks signed Nils Hoglander to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Canucks drafted Hoglander with the No.40 overall pick in the 2019 draft. The highly-skilled winger had a strong year in the Swedish Elite League, scoring nine goals with seven assists (16 points) in 41 games as a 19-year-old. Hoglander also represented Sweden at the World Juniors, where helped them to a bronze medal and finished third on the team with 11 points (5G / 6A) in seven games.
The Blues have signed Mackenzie MacEachern to a two-year extension worth $1.8 million ($900K AAV).
After splitting the 2018-19 campaign between the NHL and AHL, MacEachern spent the entire 2019-20 season (until it was paused) with the Blues, scoring seven goals with three assists (10 points) in 50 games. The 26-year-old, former third-round pick now has 10 goals and five assists (15 points) in 79 career NHL games and will now be a fixture in St. Louis' bottom-6 for at least the next few seasons.
The Penguins signed Drew O'Connor to a two-year, entry-level contract.
O'Connor was an undrafted free agent out of Dartmouth College. The 6-foot-3, 190 lbs. forward led the school in both goals (21) and points (33) in 31 games this season.
The Blackhawks signed Kevin Lankinen to a two-year contract extension worth $1.6 million ($800K AAV).
Lakinen was an undrafted free agent netminder out of Finland that joined the Blackhawks organization in 2019. During the 2020 campaign, the 24-year-old went 8-10-2 with a 3.03 GAA and .909 SV% in 21 AHL games.
Chytil (lower-body) will likely miss Wednesday's game in Colorado.
Chytil left Tuesday's game in Dallas after playing 5:32 TOI and did not return. With Steven Fogarty being recalled from the AHL this morning, it suggests that he will replace Chytil tonight in Colorado.

Demko will start Tuesday vs. the Islanders.
Demko allowed two goals on 22 shots in the Canucks loss to the Blue Jackets on Sunday. It looks like Demko will make his fourth straight start tonight and he's gone 2-4-0 with a 3.03 GAA and .903 SV% in six starts since Jacob Markstrom got hurt. Tonight he'll face an Islanders team that has lost six straight (0-3-3) while averring just 2.00 goals per game.

Boeser (ribs) will return to the Canucks lineup on Tuesday.
Boeser has missed the last 12 games but was on the ice for the morning skate and will play tonight vs. the Islanders. Boeser will return on a line with Bo Horvat and Tanner Pearson and comes in with 16 goals and 29 assists (45 points) in 56 games this season.
Garland is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
Garland is expected to miss three weeks, which could effectively end his 2020 campaign. This is a huge-blow for the Coyotes, who lose their leading goal-scorer in the middle of a playoff race.
