The Blue Jackets have recalled Gabriel Carlsson from Cleveland (AHL).
Carlsson has scored one goal with eight assists (nine points) in 28 games with the Monsters this season. The former first-round pick (No.29 overall in 2015)has appeared in 17 career NHL games to-date and gets his first call-up of the season with Andrew Peeke (broken finger) going on IR.
Milano is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
It looks like Milano was able to escape a scary hit with a minor injury. His "day-to-day" tag suggests that he will miss tonight's game in Detroit and makes him questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Kings and Saturday's game vs. the Devils.
Milano (upper-body) will not play on Monday.
Milano was hurt early in Saturday's game in Ottawa. He stumbled along the side-boards and it resulted in him taking an ugly hit from Mark Borowiecki. The Blue Jackets' medical staff had to help Milano off of the ice and it looks as if he could miss some time. Marko Dano was called up on Sunday and will replace Dano in the lineup on Monday.
Milano left Saturday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return.
The Canadiens have recalled Charlie Lindgren from Laval (AHL).
The Canadiens do not have a back-to-back before the Christmas break, so Cayden Primeau will go to Laval to get some playing time and Lindgren comes up to backup Carey Price. Lindgren has gone 7-6-2 with a 2.67 GAA and .893 SV% in 16 AHL games.
The Red Wings recalled Dylan McIlrath from Grand Rapids (AHL).
McIlrath was sent down yesterday but with Dylan Larkin questionable and Andreas Athanasiou still out, the Red Wings may have to dress McIlrath as the seventh defenseman on Thursday.
The Red Wings have reassigned Dylan McIlrath to Grand Rapids (AHL).
McIlrath has failed to record a point in 16 games with the Red Wings this season. With McIlrath and Dennis Cholowski going back to Grand Rapids, Jonathan Ericsson and Alex Biega will play on Thursday.
Strome (concussion) will return to the Blackhawks lineup on Thursday.
Strome has missed the last four games with a concussion but will play Thursday in Boston. Strome will be back on the second-line with Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane and re-enters the lineup with 17 points (5G / 12A) in 23 games.
Strome (concussion) skated this morning but will not play vs. the Blues.
Strome is feeling better but will miss his fourth consecutive game with concussion symptoms. With Strome still out, Andrew Shaw now listed on the injury report, and no cap space to call anyone up, Chicago will have to play with just 11 forwards and six defensemen on Monday.
Strome is in concussion protocol and will not be in the lineup on Tuesday.
The Capitals have placed Nic Dowd (upper-body) on IR.
Dowd's move to IR means he will miss at least one more game and it opens up a roster spot to call-up a forward to fill-in for Nicklas Backstrom, who is now dealing with an upper-body injury of his own.
Dowd is day-to-day with a hand laceration.
The Capitals will likely need to recall a forward to replace Dowd in the lineup on Friday night. Dowd suffered a deep cut on his hand in Philadelphia and will likely need a couple of days to let that heal before re-entering the Washington lineup.
Dowd (lower-body) will return to the Capitals lineup on Saturday.
Dowd has been out of the lineup for the last three games but will replace Carl Hagelin vs. the Golden Knights. Dowd will centre the fourth line and re-enters the lineup with two goals and one assist in 11 games this season.
Dowd (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
Dowd has missed the last two games but may return to the lineup in Florida. Dowd brings almost no offence to the table, scoring just two goals with one assist (three points) in 11 games this season.
The Red Wings recalled Dylan McIlrath from Grand Rapids (AHL).
Dowd is day-to-day with a lower-body injury; won't play Friday.
Dowd is dealing with a lower-body injury that he suffered in Toronto on Tuesday. With Dowd out, Chandler Stephenson will play vs. Buffalo and Liam O'Brien was called up from Hershey (AHL) to serve as an extra forward.
Dowd is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
Dowd was forced to leave Tuesday's game in Toronto with a lower-body injury and is officially listed as day-to-day. Dowd is unlikely to play Friday vs. the Sabres, so look for Chandler Stephenson to draw back into the lineup.
Wilson missed the Capitals morning skate but is expected to play Thursday.
Wilson also missed Tuesday's morning skate but suited up in Calgary, where he scored for a second straight game. Wilson comes into Thursday's game with four goals and two assists (six points) in 11 games on the season.
