Howden was originally not qualified by the Golden Knights but ended up signing a one-year deal to stay with the team. Howden, who was a first-round pick in 2016, has never lived up to the offensive potential he flashed in the WHL. He's played almost exclusively as a fourth-line centre and will likely continue to do so in 2022-23.
Davies appeared in six games with Nashville in 2022 but spent most of his time in Milwaukee (AHL). He had six goals and 25 assists (31 points) in 54 AHL games and will likely report to Rochester (AHL) to start 2022-23.
In his first three NHL seasons, Olofsson has averaged 24 goals and 32 assists (56 points) per 82 games. Olofsson finished the 2021-22 season on a heater, scoring 13 goals with 12 assists (25 points) in his final 28 games.
The Maple Leafs are locked into second place in the Atlantic Division, so there's nothing for them to play for tonight. In addition to Marner, Auston Matthews and John Tavares will also sit out.
With some of the Devils forward out with an illness, Holtz will suit up for his eighth career NHL game on Thursday. The 20-year-old, who has 26 goals with 25 assists (51 points) in 52 AHL games this season, will skate on a line with Jesper Bratt and Jesper Boqvist.
Hagg will come back out of the lineup on Thursday, serving as a healthy scratch for the second time in three games. Lucas Carlsson will replace him.
Hagg served as a healthy scratch on Sunday but will replace Petteri Lindbohm in the lineup on Tuesday. Since joining the Panthers, Hagg has one assist in 11 games while averaging 12:43 TOI/gm.
Lauzon took an ugly-looking fall early in Saturday's game vs. the Blackhawks and is expected to miss an extended period of time. Matt Benning replaced Lauzon in the lineup on Sunday and will likely remain in the lineup moving forward.
Hart left Tuesday's game with a lower-body injury after surrendering three goals on the first 10 shots that he faced. Martin Jones, who did not fare any better against the Capitals, will likely start Wednesday with Hart unavailable.
Stone has been out since April 8th but will play Tuesday in Vancouver on a line with Chandler Stephenson and Max Pacioretty. In order to make room for Stone, the Golden Knights placed William Carrier, Laurent Brossoit and Nolan Patrick on LTIR.
Hagg was a healthy scratch in Nashville on Saturday but will replace Lucas Carlsson in the lineup on Tuesday. Hagg has picked up one assist in his first nine games since joining the Panthers on March 20th.
Stone has been out since February 8th but has been on the ice for the last couple of sessions and will be a game-time decision on Tuesday. Stone is currently on LTIR and the Golden Knights have no cap space, so they will need to make some moves in order to activate him ahead of tomorrow's game.
