Rossi was the No.9 overall pick in the latest NHL Draft after leading the OHL with 120 points (39G / 81A) in 56 games with the Ottawa 67's. With the OHL season in limbo, Rossi will probably get a chance to make the Wild out of training camp but he will likely go to the OHL once their season gets underway.


Schenn served as a No.7 defenseman in Tampa Bay for most of the year but appeared in 25 regular season and 11 postseason games to get his name on the Stanley Cup. With both Jan Rutta and Kevin Shattenkirk likely moving on, there's a chance that Schenn could be a third-pairing defenseman in 2021.

Schuldt signed with the Golden Knights after four years at St. Cloud State and spent his first professional season with the Chicago Wolves (AHL), where he had six goals and 15 assists (21 points) in 52 games. Schuldt will likely start 2021 in the AHL but will be one of the first blueliners to get called-up by Vegas.







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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.
