Kassian (concussion) will make his season debut on Saturday.
Kassian (concussion) will not play in the Oilers season opener.
Kassian sustained a concussion in the preseason and will miss tonight’s game vs. the Canucks but could be back for Saturday’s meeting with the Flames. With Kassian out, the Oilers signed Colton Sceviour to a one-year contract today and he will play on the third line.
The Coyotes placed Alex Galchenyuk (upper-body) on IR on Monday.
Galchenyuk, who recently signed with the Coyotes, is week-to-week with an upper-body injury. Moving Galchenhyuk to IR opened up a spot for Liam O'Brien to start the season in on the 23-man roster.
Kassian (concussion protocol) is day-to-day and questionable for the Oilers season opener.
Kassian's status for the Oilers season opener is up in the air. If he is unable to play on Wednesday, the Oilers may have to sign Colton Sceviour to take his place. Head coach Dave Tippett said that he expects Sceviour to replace Kassian on the third line with Derek Ryan and Warren Foegele if he is unavailable.
The Coyotes have signed Alex Galchenyuk to a one-year contract worth $750K.
The Canadiens have signed J.S. Dea to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Coyotes have signed Liam Kirk to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Rangers have signed Patrik Nemeth to a three-year contract worth $7.5 million ($2.5M AAV).
The Coyotes have acquired Andrew Ladd, '21 2nd round pick (#60) and two conditional draft picks from the Islanders.
Ladd appeared in just one game in 2021, failing to get on the board for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers (AHL). Ladd has two years left at $5.5M, so the Islanders did everything they could to get that contract off of their books. At 35-years-old, Ladd has only appeared in four NHL games since the end of the 2019 season.
The Canadiens have signed Laurent Dauphin to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
Kassian (lower-body) will play in Game 1 vs. Winnipeg.
Line Change
Ruzicka will make his NHL debut on Sunday.
The Red Wings have traded Patrik Nemeth to the Avalanche for a 2022 fourth-round pick.
Nemeth played with the Avalanche in 2018 and 2019 before signing with Red Wings prior to the 2020 season. He returns to Colorado where he will serve as a depth piece that they know that can rely on on their third pairing. Nemeth has eight points (2G / 6A) in 39 games this season.
Line Change
Galchenyuk will make his Maple Leafs debut on Friday.
Galchenyuk was acquired from the Hurricanes on February 15th and started his time with the Maple Leafs in the AHL. The 27-year-old collected two goals and six assists (eight points) in six games with the Marlies and will make his debut on the second line with John Tavares and William Nylander.
Barrie (upper-body) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play in Calgary.
Kassian (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.
Nemeth will not be in the Red Wings lineup on Sunday.
