The Avalanche have recalled Kiefer Sherwood from Colorado (AHL).

Sherwood has been great in the AHL this season, leading the league with seven goals and tied for third in points (10). With Mikko Rantanen and Andre Burakovsky likely unavailable, Sherwood will make his season debut on Wednesday. The 26-year-old has 16 points (6G / 10A) in 76 career NHL games.

The Canadiens have sent Cole Caufield to Laval (AHL).

Caufield was expected to have a breakout season after scoring four goals with one assist in 10 games last year. He went on to pick up 12 points (4G / 8A) in 20 playoff games but has had a disastrous start to 2021-22. Caufield has just one assist and 22 shots in 10 games, so he'll head to the AHL to find some confidence.

The Lightning recalled Cal Foote from his conditioning stint with Syracuse (AHL).

Foote missed the start of the season after undergoing surgery on his finger in the offseason, so he was sent to Syracuse on a conditioning loan. He failed to record a point and was a minus-5 in five games with the Crunch.
