The Blue Jackets have recalled Carson Meyer from Cleveland (AHL).

Meyer has been excellent in the AHL this season, scoring six goals with 12 assists to tie for 10th in the AHL with 18 points through 15 games. He'll likely make his season debut with the Blue Jackets on Friday and has three points (1G / 2A) in 13 career NHL games.

John Gibson was the first goalie off the ice at Anaheims' morning skate.

Gibson lost his previous two starts to the St.Louis Blues and is in the middle of a three game losing streak that has added to his NHL lead in losses as he holds a 3-11-1 record. He has struggled as shown by his 4.15 GAA and .891 SV% through 15 games played. He will hope to get back in the win column as he takes on the New York Rangers who has won three of their last four games.

Gibson allowed five goals on 29 shots (.828 SV%) his last time out as the Ducks lost to St. Louis on the road. The 29-year-old has had a dreadful season so far, leading all goaltenders in losses with his 3-10-1 record while posting a .889 SV% and 4.31 GAA. He takes on the streaky St. Louis Blues who are in the middle of a five-game winning streak after beating this same Ducks' team their last time out.

Alex Stalock has been placed on the injured reserve (upper body)

Stalock was placed on IR retroactively to November 1st after sustaining a concussion from a knock from Cody Cizikas. The 35-year-old was one of the league's best redemption stories early on, posting a 3-2-1 record to go along with his .914 SV% and 2.93 GAA.

Alex Stalock is considered day-to-day as he is still in concussion protocol

Stalock had to leave the Blackhawks' game Tuesday in the first period due to concussion protocol and is still yet to have a timetable for his return. Arvid Soderblom did his best to fill in stopping 28 of 30 shots in the loss Tuesday while Petr Mrazek (groin) was back on the ice Wednesday in practice.

Ross Johnston will draw back into the Islander lineup Tuesday

It will be the second time Johnston has been asked to answer the bell as the scrappy winger last played on October 23rd vs. the Panthers. Through 119 career games, he has 22 points (9G/13A) and 248 PIMs while mostly occupying a fourth line role in New York.

Stalock will start Tuesday vs. the Islanders.

Stalock allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Blackhawks' 4-3 shootout loss to the Wild on Sunday. The loss brought Stalock's record to 3-2-1 with a 2.95 GAA and .914 SV% on the season. He's been terrific so far this season, but the Islanders' offence has been catching fire recently and ranks seventh in the NHL in xGF/60 (3.51) and fifth in GF/gm (3.7).
