Hanley played in the last four games for the Stars, his longest stretch of the season, but will be a healthy scratch on Friday, allowing Nils Lundkvist to re-enter the lineup. In 13 games this season, Hanley is averaging 12:16 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) and 12 hits.
Jake Bean will return to the lineup on Wednesday in favour of Andrew Peeke, who will be a healthy scratch. Bean has three points (1G / 2A), 42 shots, and 46 blocks while averaging 15:26 time-on-ice through 32 games this season and is expected to skate alongside Erik Gudbranson on the Blue Jackets' fourth defensive pair.
The Coyotes announced the move right before puck drop for Saturday's game in Colorado. Kirkland is yet to register a point in seven NHL games this season.
Bean is expected to be the odd-man out on Columbus' blue-line on Saturday with Damon Severson set to return from an oblique injury. Bean has one goal and two assists in 32 games this season.
Hanley has semi-regularly been in the Stars lineup lately and will draw back in on Monday in favour of Nils Lundkvist. Through nine games this season, Hanley has one point (0G / 1A), eight hits, and seven blocks while averaging 12:44 time-on-ice.
Cicek was acquired along with a 2024 sixth-round draft pick in exchange for forward Jack Studnicka. The 23-year-old defenseman is yet to appear in the NHL this season after playing 16 games with the Sharks a season ago. He has one goal and two assists in 18 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) this season.
Prosvestov will make his third-straight appearance Wednesday after he was called upon in relief Monday vs. Calgary and stopped all 11 shots he faced. The 24-year-old goaltender was claimed off waivers from Arizona earlier this season and has rewarded the Avalanche fantastically with his 3-2-1 record, 2.75 GAA and .912 SV%. He takes on the Buffalo Sabres Wednesday at home, who has won two of their last three contests but are ranked 24th in the NHL in goals per game (2.9).

Calgary is on the second half of a tough 6-5 loss to Colorado Monday and will go with Dustin Wolf after Dan Vladar took the crease the night before. Wolf has had an up-and-down first four games to start 2023-24, with a 1-2-0 record, .900 SV% and 3.04 GAA. The rookie netminder draws the tough task of hosting Vegas Tuesday, who has won three straight and is tenth in the NHL in both goals for per game (3.31) and shots per game (32.2).
Coronato played most of the opening month with the Flames, tallying two points (1G / 1A) in 10 games, but has since fallen out of favour, playing his first game in over a month on Saturday. He has since been reassigned to the Calgary Wranglers (AHL), where he has 18 points (8G / 10A) in 14 games this season.
Kaedan Korczak will not play on Tuesday due to a lower-body injury, allowing Pachal to return to the lineup for the first time since November 25th. Pachal is averaging 15:22 time-on-ice through 13 games this season and has been held without a point in 12 straight.
Hanley will draw back into the lineup as Nils Lundkvist will be a healthy scratch for the Stars against the Detroit Red Wings. Between a Thomas Harley injury last month and Lundkvist being a frequent healthy scratch lately, Hanley has semi-regularly found himself in the Stars lineup. The 32-year-old serves as a third-pairing defenseman and is averaging 12:48 time-on-ice but has yet to record a point this season.
