DeBrusk will not play Saturday vs. the Senators and will likely miss Sunday’s game in Pittsburgh as well. Lee Stempniak was recalled from Providence (AHL) and is expected to play in DeBrusk’s usual spot with David Krejci.


Brisebois has spent most of the season with Utica, where he has three goals and eight assists in 49 games on their blueline. The 21-year-old could play his third career game on Wednesday with Ben Hutton battling a foot injury.


Chytil has no recorded a point and is a minus-1 in each of his last three games and will be replaced by the newly acquired Brendan Lemieux on Wednesday.

Schenn will make his Canucks debut after they tried Erik Gudbranson to the Penguins. Schenn has put up solid numbers in the AHL (1G / 4A in seven games) but has just 15 points (2G / 13A) in his last 150 NHL games.

Karlsson, 19, was a third-round pick (No.87 overall) in last summer’s draft. Karlsson has four goals and 13 assists (17 points) with Karlskrona HK in Sweden.


Hronek has split his 2019 season between the AHL and NHL, amassing 10 points (3G / 7A) in 23 games with the Red Wings and 23 points (7G / 16A) in 28 games with the Griffins. Hronek has the look of a future star in Detroit but it remains to be seen if he will be in the lineup on Saturday afternoon.

Schenn played in eight games with the Ducks earlier this season but has been in the AHL since being traded to the Canucks. Since the trade, Schenn, who is not known for his offence, has five points (1G / 4A) in seven games. He should make his Canucks debut on the weekend with both Chris Tanev and Alexander Edler out.
