Line Change
Tinordi will draw into the Predators lineup on Wednesday.
Coleman is not on the ice for warmups; will not play Saturday in Columbus.
Coleman was removed from the COVID-19 protocol list and is eligible to play Thursday in Columbus.
Coleman has been on the COVID-19 protocol list but hasn't missed any games due to the Lightning's games vs. Dallas being cancelled due to COVID-19 issues of their own. While being activated is good news there is no word whether Coleman will actually be in the lineup on Thursday or if he will have to wait until Saturday.
The Flames have signed Michael Stone to a one-year, two-way contract and placed him on waivers.
Line Change
Meloche will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
Meloche played just 5:43 TOI in the season opener, which was his NHL debut. The 23-year-old defenseman will be replaced by Jacob Middleton on Saturday afternoon.
Line Change
Rooney will come out of the Rangers lineup on Saturday.
Rooney was banged up in the season opener in a collision with Ross Johnston and will not play on Saturday. It’s unclear if he’s out due to injury or a coach’s decision. Phil Di Giuseppe will replace him in the lineup.
The Senators have acquired Clark Bishop from the Hurricanes for Max Lajoie.
Frk is out week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
Frk is expected to miss at least the first couple of weeks of the regular season with a lower-body injury that he suffered in training camp. With Frk and Gabriel Vilardi not available for Monday's practice, Quinton Byfield and Matt Luff skated in the top-4 lines.
The Panthers have signed MacKenzie Weegar to a three-year contract worth $9.75 million ($3.25M AAV).
The Red Wings have signed Anthony Mantha to a four-year contract extension worth $22.8 million ($5.7M AAV).
The Hurricanes have re-signed Clark Bishop to a one-year, two-way contract ($700K/$100K).
The Coyotes have signed Dryden Hunt to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Oilers have signed Tyson Barrie to a one-year deal worth $3.75M.
Barrie's time in Toronto didn't go quite as planned. He finished 2020 with just 39 points (5G / 34A) in 70 games. It's hard to forget that he was sixth among defensemen in points (116) with the Avalanche in the two previous years combined, so the Oilers get a talented offensive-defensemen. Barrie signs a one-year deal to be the quarterback of the NHL's top power-play in an attempt to build his value back up before he hits the market again next year. This move also buys Oilers' prospect Evan Bouchard another year of development.
The Rangers have signed Kevin Rooney to a two-year deal worth $1.5 million ($750K AAV).
Rooney signed with the New Jersey Devils out of Providence College and spent the first five years of his career in that organization. The 27-year-old was a regular NHLer in 2020, scoring four goals and five assists (nine points) in 49 games. He will be a borderline roster player on a deep Rangers team and could start the year in Hartford (AHL).
The Predators have signed Devin Cooley to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Cooley is an undrafted free agent, who finished his third year at the University of Denver in 2020. The 23-year-old netminder went 4-3-2 with a 2.08 GAA and .908 SV% in nine NCAA games. Cooley will likely replace Troy Grosenick (UFA) as the backup in Milwaukee (AHL).
The Flames have signed Justin Kirkland to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
Kirkland was a third-round pick of the Predators in 2014 but signed with the Flames last summer. He spent the entire 2020 season with Stockton (AHL), where he had six goals and 22 assists (28 points) in 53 games.
