The Blue Jackets made Milano the 16th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old forward struggled to maintain a spot in the lineup under head coach John Tortorella. He scored five goals and added 13 assists in 46 games for Columbus this season. Milano is set to become a restricted free-agent on July 1st.
Rosen returns to the Leafs after the Avalanche acquired him along with Nazem Kadri in the off-season. Rosen played eight games with Colorado this season, registering zero goals and two assists. He has three goals and 12 assists in 35 AHL games this season.
Carson Soucy is expected to miss one month with an upper-body injury, so Belpedio comes up and will likely serve as the seventh defenseman on Sunday. The 23-year-old has not appeared in an NHL game this season but has two assists in three career NHL games. He's also picked up five goals and 13 assists (18 points) in 55 AHL games this season.
Strome has failed to register a point in four games since returning from injury and will be scratched in favour of Alex Nylander on Tuesday.
With Seth Jones going on IR with an ankle injury, the Blue Jackets will use that roster spot to bring Carlsson back up. The 23-year-old blueliner has no points in six NHL games this season but has tallied one goal and 10 assists in 39 games with Cleveland.
Fehervary played 19:55 TOI on Tuesday but was sent back in between games. The 20-year-old defenseman has no points in his first four NHL games but has 14 points (4G / 10A) in 45 AHL games this season.
Rosen likely won't play during his promotion but he takes Mark Barberio's spot on the roster with Barberio going on a conditioning stint.
Lindgren allowed four goals on 28 shots in the Canadiens loss to the Blackhawks on January 15th. With Carey Price out with the flu, Lindgren will make his fourth start of the season in New Jersey. He is 0-3-0 with a 3.40 GAA and .892 SV% in his first three starts. He catches a break with the Devils without Nico Hischier and Sami Vatanen.
Strome has missed the last seven games with an ankle injury but will play tonight in his third career game back in Arizona since being dealt to the Blackhawks. Strome has picked up 30 points (10G / 20A) in 40 games this season.
Ovechkin skipped this past weekend's All-Star festivities and will miss Monday's game in Montreal as a result. With Ovechkin suspended, Travis Boyd is expected to draw into the lineup but it remains to be seen who will move up to play with Nicklas Backstrom.
With the fourth line playing well according to head coach John Tortorella, Milano will be the one to come out of the lineup with Cam Atkinson returning to the lineup on Thursday.
Lindgren allowed four goals on 30 shots in the Canadiens loss in Detroit on January 7th. Since coming up from the AHL, Lindgren has lost both of his starts while allowing a combined six goals on 65 shots (.908 SV%). Tonight he'll take on a Blackhawks team that played last night but they've won five of their last six road games while averaging 4.17 goals for per game.
Carlsson has been a healthy scratch for the last five games and gets sent back to the AHL to make room for Andrew Peeke to be activated from IR. The 23-year-old blueliner has nine points (1G / 8A) in 28 AHL games.
Sandin has been all over the place this season. He started the year in the NHL, posting two assists in six games, was then sent to the AHL and then loaned to Team Sweden for the World Juniors, where he had 10 points (3G / 7A) in seven games. Toronto is trying to sort some stuff out defensively, so it looks like they'll give the 19-year-old another look.
Strome was forced to leave Tuesday’s game with an ankle injury and will miss at least one game. He was not available for Wednesday’s practice and head coach Jeremy Colliton is unsure about a timeline but doesn’t expect it to be long-term.
Lindgren allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Canadiens loss in Carolina on New Year's Eve. It was a solid season debut for the 26-year-old. He faced the Red Wings in 2017, stopping 25 of 27 shots in a 3-2 win. Montreal has somehow lost their first two games vs. Detroit this season, so they'll lean on Lindgren tonight on the tail-end of a back-to-back to try and make that 1-2.
With Kukan undergoing knee surgery, Carlsson will be back in the Blue Jackets lineup on Saturday. Carlsson has no points and a minus-1 rating in five games this season.
