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.

The Lightning have reassigned Mathieu Joseph to Syracuse (AHL).

Joseph started the season at a decent pace, posting seven points (4G / 3A) while playing 12:36 ATOI in his first 21 games but has no points and a minus-4 rating while playing just 9:43 ATOI in his last 10. He'll go back to Syracuse to get his game back in order, which means that Mitchell Stephens will remain with the Lightning and play on the fourth line on Thursday.

The Jets have recalled Jansen Harkins from Manitoba (AHL).

Harkins was a second-round pick (No.47 overall) in 2015 and has played in 156 AHL games since. This year the 22-year-old winger leads the Manitoba Moose with 31 points (7G / 24A) in 30 games. He could make his NHL debut before the Christmas break with Mathieu Perreault and Andrew Copp both going on IR on Wednesday.

The Jets have recalled Mason Appleton from Manitoba (AHL).

Appleton was recently assigned to Manitoba after returning to full health but was called up on Wednesday with Andrew Copp going on IR. Appleton has one assist in four AHL games and no points in nine NHL games this season. He is expected to skate on the third line with Adam Lowry and Gabriel Bourque on Thursday.

The Coyotes have reassigned Robbie Russo to Tucson (AHL).

Russo was called up over a week ago but sat as a reserve defenseman for four games. He swaps spots with Jordan Gross so that Russo doesn't sit for too long. The 26-year-old has eight points (1G / 7A) in 23 AHL games this season.

Howard has been placed on LTIR (retroactive to Nov.27) and been assigned to Grand Rapids (AHL).

Moving Howard provides the Red Wings with some salary-cap relief and making it retroactive to November 27th means he can return this week. Howard is expected to start with the Griffins on Tuesday night and could return to the Red Wings if he doesn't suffer a setback.

The Flyers have recalled Andy Andreoff from Lehigh Valley (AHL).

The Flyers are dealing with injuries upfront so they have a lot of Phantoms on the roster right now and Andreoff is the latest to get called-up. Andreoff has one assist in six games with the Flyers and eight points (4G / 4A) in 14 AHL games this season.
