Ruzicka enters his third season with the Flames after playing 31 total games over the last two years. The 23-year-old has been productive during his limited time, collecting 11 points (5G/6A) and a +10 plus/minus in the 31 NHL games.
Nemeth enters the Coyotes' lineup for the first time Tuesday and will replace Dysin Mayo on Arizona's defensive unit. Through 429 career games, he has 10 goals and 65 points.
Ladd failed his physical and will start the season on IR. Ladd has had three surgeries on his knee and has only appeared in 81 NHL games over the past four seasons. As per the conditions of the trade that sent him to Arizona, the Coyotes will get a conditional third-round pick in 2023 due to Ladd's injury.
Klok comes over from the KHL, where he had 31 points (5G / 26A) in 44 games with Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik. There's not a ton of depth on the left-side of the Coyotes' blueline but he will likely start the season in the AHL and have to work his way up the depth chart.
Dauphin played in two straight games but will be scratched Friday to make room for Mathieu Perreault to return to the lineup.
Dauphin has been a healthy scratch for the last four games but will replace Jake Evans (illness) in the lineup on Tuesday. Dauphin has picked up two goals and four assists (six points) in his last 13 games.
Dauphin played 7:54 TOI in Toronto on Saturday but is expected to be replaced by Ryan Poehling in the lineup on Monday.
With Sean Monahan landing on LTIR over the weekend, the Flames have some new-found cap space. They used the room to recall Ruzicka and Juuuso Valimaki from the AHL. Ruzicka has nine points (5G / 4A) in 23 NHL games and 19 points (11G / 8A) in 16 AHL games this season.
Dauphin has played in six straight games but will be replaced by Ryan Poehling, who is returning from an upper-body injury on Saturday.
Little is on LTIR and has two years left with a $5.291M AAV cap hit. The move doesn't change anything for the Jets this season but provides them some cap flexibility for the next two seasons. For the Coyotes, it will help them stay cap compliant down the road.
Ruzicka has been a healthy scratch for the last four games but will draw back into the lineup vs. Edmonton. The Flames shuffled up most of their lines on Monday, leaving Ruzicka on the third line with Andrew Mangiapane and Tyler Toffoli on his wings. Ruzicka has scored four goals with three assists (seven points) in 19 games this season.
Nemeth has missed the last three games due to personal reasons but he will replace Zac Jones in the lineup on Wednesday. Nemeth has no goals and just two assists sin 39 games this season.
