Kadri (upper-body) will not play Saturday vs. the Penguins.
Kadri was missing from Friday's practice and will not play Saturday vs. the Penguins due to an upper-body injury that he picked up on Thursday. Alex Newhook will likely move up to centre the Avalanche second line.
The Blues have acquired Brady Lyle from the Bruins for future considerations.
The Devils have recalled Kevin Bahl from Utica (AHL).
Bahl will likely serve as a reserve defenseman in Toronto on Wednesday. The 2018 second-round pick was scored three goals with 12 assists (15 points) in 49 AHL games this season. He has suited up in four games with the Devils this season and 11 games in the last two years combined.

Goalie Start
Vladar is in the starter's crease at the Flames morning skate.
Bean (groin) will be back in the Blue Jackets lineup on Monday.
Bean has been sidelined by a groin injury since January 30th but will replace Gavin Bayreuther in the lineup on Monday. Bean has scored four goals with 11 assists (15 points) while averaging 21:14 TOI/gm in 41 games this season.
The Panthers placed Ryan Lomberg (undisclosed) on IR.
Lomberg missed Saturday's game vs. the Red Wings and was placed on IR on Sunday, meaning he will miss at least the first two games of the week. Moving him to IR and losing Olli Juolevi on waivers opened up two roster spots to recall Spencer Knight and add the recently signed Petteri Lindbohm to the active roster.
Goalie Start
Vladar led the Flames onto the ice for warmups.
Rooney has been placed on IR with an upper-body injury.
Rooney will miss at least one week with an upper-body injury, so Jonny Brodzinski will replace him on the Rangers fourth line.
Mantha (shoulder) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play on Thursday.
The Capitals have activated Anthony Mantha (shoulder) from IR.
Mantha is listed as a game-time decision for Thursday's game but being activated from IR clears the way and suggests that he will play tonight. Mantha is expected to skate on the second line with Nicklas Backstrom and TJ Oshie and will be on the second power-play unit.
Mantha (shoulder) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
Mantha was on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and all signs are pointing towards him playing for the first time since undergoing shoulder surgery in early November. Head coach Peter Laviolette would not commit to Mantha playing, so consider him a game-time decision.
Mantha (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Mantha was a full participant on Wednesday and could be back in the Capitals lineup on Thursday. Head coach Peter Laviolette did not rule Mantha out, so monitor his status during Thursday's morning skate.
The Flames have signed Rory Kerins to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Flames drafted Kerins in the sixth-round in 2020 and he has exploded in 2022. The 19-year-old currently leads the Son Greyhounds (OHL) with 84 points (33G / 51A) in 50 games.

Meloche will draw back into the Sharks lineup on Sunday.
Line Change
Lomberg will be back in the Panthers lineup on Saturday.
Lomberg was a healthy scratch vs. the Blue Jackets but will replace Frank Vatrano in the lineup on Saturday. Lomberg has 11 points (4G / 7A) in 39 games this season while averaging 11:39 TOI/gm.
Meloche (undisclosed) will not play Saturday vs. the Bruins.
Meloche left Thursday's game vs. the Islanders in the first period and did not return. Meloche was ruled out on Friday and it looks like Radim Simek will replace him vs. Boston.
