The Sabres acquired Subban from the Blackhawks on Thursday and immediately summon him from the AHL ahead of Saturday's game. Given the fact that Dustin Tokarski is in COVID-19 protocol and Aaron Dell has struggled mightily this season, Subban could make his Sabres debut on Saturday. Subban has gone 36-31-8 with a 3.02 GAA and .899 SV% in 82 career NHL games.
Luukkonen has gone 6-6-0 with a 3.42 GAA and .888 SV% in 12 games with Rochester this season. Dustin Tokarski was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list, so Luukkonen will likely back-up Aaron Dell tonight.
Jordan Binnington was added to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list, so Lindgren will join the Blues in Tampa and is expected to serve as Ville Husso's backup.
There is no word why Hutchinson is being called up. Jack Campbell is expected to start Wednesday but if something happened to him, Hutchinson could back-up Joseph Woll. It could be the other way around, with Hutchinson coming up to back-up Campbell because something is up with Woll. Expect an update around 5 PM ET or during warmups at 6:30 PM ET.
Francouz missed all of October and November with an ankle injury, so he will go to the AHL for conditioning. The Avalanche said that they will carry three goalies once Francouz is healthy. The oft-injured netminder has gone 21-9-4 with a 2.40 GAA and .923 SVS% in 36 career NHL games.
Chris Driedger landed on IR on Wednesday morning, so Daccord comes up to serve as Philipp Grubauer's backup. Daccord has gone 3-4-1 with a 2.35 GAA and .915 SV% in eight AHL games this season.
Lind will take Calle Jarnkrok's spot on the roster and could replace Jordan Eberle (lower-body) if he's unavailable on Wednesday. Lind has scored two goals with five assists (seven points) in 17 AHL games this season.
McCarron has split his season between the AHL and NHL. He's pointless in six games with the Predators but has one goal and two assists (three points) in nine AHL games.
Niemelainen has scored one goal with two assists (three points) in 14 AHL games this season. Niemelainen could make his NHL debut this week after Cody Ceci was moved to the COVID-19 protocol list.
With Tony DeAngelo placed on the COVID-19 protocol list, Chatfield was recalled from the AHL and travelled to Dallas for Tuesday's game. Chatfield has scored four goals with three assists (seven points) in 17 AHL games this season and has one assist in 18 career NHL games with the Canucks.
With Brett Pesce placed on the COVID-19 protocol list, Lajoie was recalled from the AHL and travelled to Dallas for Tuesday's game. Lajoie has eight points (1G / 7A) in 17 AHL games this season and 15 points (7G / 8A) in 62 career NHL games with the Senators.
Criscuolo is at a point-per-game in the AHL, picking up 12 points (5G / 7A) in 12 games. He was most likely recalled to serve as an extra forward in Boston.
Fortier was a second-round pick in the 2018 draft and could be set to make his NHL debut this week after Mathieu Joseph was banged up over the weekend. The 21-year-old is third on Syracuse with 11 points (4G / 7A) in 17 games.
With Anthony Duclair a late scratch on Friday and questionable to play Saturday, Heponiemi gets his first call-up of the season. Heponiemi was a second-round pick in 2017 and has scored four goals with seven assists (11 points) in 17 AHL games this season.
Joshua has not picked up a point in six games with the Blues this season. He'll replace James Neal on the roster and should replace Robert Bortuzzo or Niko Mikkola in the lineup with the Blues going back to 12 forwards and six defensemen.
Zetterlund failed to record a point in his first three NHL games and played just 4:49 TOI on Wednesday. He was a healthy scratch on Friday after the Devils claimed Nathan Bastian off of waivers, so Zetterlund returns to the AHL. He has nine points (3G / 6A) in 10 games with Utica this season.
With Max Pacioretty and Will Carrier returning on Wednesday and Adam Brooks emerging, the Golden Knights have returned three forwards to the AHL. Jones failed to record a point in two NHL games but has six points (4G / 2A) in 12 AHL games.
