Ladd has missed the last nine games with and upper-body injury but it looks like he’ll be back tonight in Toronto. There’s no word on where Ladd will slot back into the lineup because of the emergence of Anthony Beauvillier during his absence. Ladd has nine goals and nine assists (18 points) in 42 games this season.

Ladd will miss his second straight game with an undisclosed injury and the Islanders are unsure how long he will be out for. Head coach Doug Weight said they “have to figure everything out and hopefully [Ladd] is back sooner than later. That’ all I can tell you now.” It doesn’t sound like Ladd will be out long-term, but Anthony Beauvillier and Michael Dal Colle are up from Bridgeport (AHL) to take Ladd and Josh Bailey’s spots in the lineup.
Dauphin spent the first two seasons of his professional career in Arizona but spent the first three months of this season in the Blackhawks organization. Dauphin had four goals and 10 assists (14 points) in 33 games with the IceHogs and will likely report to Tucson (AHL).
Nemeth has been out of the lineup since November 5th, but will be back with Tyson Barrie as Colorado’s second pairing vs. the Lightning. Nemeth has six points (1G / 5A) in 12 games this season.
Nemeth is dealing with an undisclosed injury and it will keep him out of both of Colorado’s games in Sweden. With Nemeth out, Samuel Girard will make his Avalanche debut vs. the Senators.
Nemeth suffered a lower-body injury in his return to the Colorado lineup on Thursday. The blueliner was not on the ice for Monday’s practice and will be held out of the lineup on Tuesday. Andrei Mironov was recalled from San Antonio this afternoon, so Nemeth could miss more than one game.
Nemeth missed Tuesday’s game in Nashville because of a shoulder injury that he suffered in a fight with his former teammate Tyler Seguin on Saturday. Nemeth has recorded three assists and a plus-7 rating in his first six games with Colorado. Nemeth is expected to replace Anton Lindholm in the lineup and skate with Tyson Barrie.

Galchenyuk’s 2017-18 season has not started the way his fantasy owners would have hoped. After spending the first few games on the second line, Galchenyuk was recently moved to the fourth line and now he’s missing practice with an illness, clouding his status for Saturday’s game vs. the Maple Leafs.
Nemeth has appeared in 108 NHL games and 57 AHL games with the Stars organization since 2013-14. Last season he had just three assists in 40 games with Dallas. The 25-year-old will likely serve as a No.7 defenseman in Colorado.
Little was entering the final year of a five-year deal with a $4.7M AAV, so the 29-year-old centre gets a bit of a raise starting in 2018-19. Little has been a strong playmaker for the Jets, but has had some concerns over the years, missing 60 games over the last three seasons. If he can stay on the ice, Little has 25-goal, 40-assist upside.
Nemeth, 25, has split his first few professional seasons between the NHL and AHL. In 2016-17 he appeared in the most NHL games to this point, suiting up for 40 contests, but only managed to record three assists. Nemeth has not posed strong offensive numbers at any level, so don’t expect him to start now.
