Ladd had a great conditioning stint, picking up one goal and four assists (five points) in two games with the Sound Tigers. Ladd returns to the Islanders, where he had three goals and four assists (seven points) in 14 games.
Ladd has been out with a lower-body injury since November 13th. With the Islanders playing well there is no need to rush Ladd back, so he will play at least a couple of games with Bridgeport this weekend before likely returning to the Islanders next week.
Dauphin, 23, has six goals and 14 assists (20 points) in 34 games with Tucson (AHL) this season. Dauphin has four points (3G / 1A) in 35 career NHL games and is expected to report to Milwaukee (AHL).
Little missed Tuesday’s morning skate and will be a game-time decision for Tuesday’s game vs. the Sharks. Nic Petan will play if Little is out.
Dauphin has three goals and one assist in 34 career NHL games and is expected to play No.35 tonight in Vancouver. The Coyotes did not say who Dauphin will replace but he is expected to skate in their bottom-6, limiting his fantasy value.
Dauphin has six goals and 12 assists (18 points) in 30 games with Tucson this season. Dauphin could have an extended stay with the Coyotes because he is expected to replace Nick Schmaltz, who may land on IR.
Galchenyuk missed Tuesday’s game in Boston and remains questionable for Thursday’s game in Buffalo. Galchenyuk has not been great through 21 games in Arizona, picking up just 11 points (3G / 8A). Galchenyuk’s 45.8 CorsiFor% and -2.1 CF% rel doesn’t lend a lot of hope that things are going to get much better in the near future.
Galchenyuk is dealing with a minor injury so he is questionable for Tuesday’s game in Boston. If he can’t play, look for Michael Bunting to make his NHL debut.
Dea has picked up two assists in two games since joining Wilkes-Barre/Scranton after being claimed off of waivers from New Jersey. Dea returns to the NHL, where he had five points (3G / 2A) in 20 games earlier this year.
Dea broke into the NHL with the Penguins and spent four years in their organization with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL). The 24-year-old had just six games of NHL experience before this season but had five points (3G / 2A) in 20 games with the Devils before they waived him.
Dea has been in the lineup for the last six games, but played just 7:49 TOI on Friday. He will be replaced by Stefan Noesen on Sunday.
Nemeth was a healthy scratch vs. the Bruins on Wednesday, but will replace Nikita Zadorov on Friday. Nemeth has just one assist in 13 games this season.
The Islanders announced on Thursday that Ladd is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury, so his move to IR opens up a roster spot for Michael Dal Colle to be recalled from Bridgeport (AHL).
Nemeth has been in the lineup for the last four games, but will be replaced by Mark Barberio tonight vs the Bruins.
Kassian has no points and a minus-4 rating in five games this season. Jujhar Khaira will replace Kassian in the lineup on Thursday.
