Vladar was a third-round pick (No.75 overall) in 2015 who has gone 6-5-0 with a 1.84 GAA and .935 SV%. Vladar comes up to serve as Jaroslav Halak's backup while Tuukka Rask is on IR with an upper-body injury.
Carter Hart will miss 2-to-3 weeks with an abdominal strain and that affected their cap situation. Farabee had to be sent down in order to call-up Alex Lyon to serve as Brian Elliott's backup on Wednesday. Chris Stewart was also placed on waivers, so expect Farabee to be recalled tomorrow once Stewart is claimed or clears waivers (most likely).
Andersson was a pending restricted free agent who is now signed through the 2025-26 season. Andersson often fills in on the Flames top pair and is a future everyday top pair defenseman making second pair money. The 23-year-old has 12 points (3G / 9A) in 45 games this season while carrying a 52.9 CF% and +3.0 CF% rel.
With John Klingberg dealing with a lower-body injury, Hanley was called up to travel as an extra defenseman to Los Angeles. Hanley has two points in eight NHL games and six assists in 18 AHL games this season.
Okhotyuk, 19, was a second-round pick (No.61 overall) in this summer's draft and hast picked up five assists in 10 games with the Ottawa 67's (OHL).
Rooney was in the lineup vs. the Maple Leafs on Friday, playing 10:17 TOI, but will be a scratch tonight with Pavel Zacha returning from a lower-body issue.
Weegar was on the ice for Friday's practice but missed Saturday's morning skate and head coach Joel Quenneville called him "day-to-day." This is a tough break for the Panthers, who were already without Aaron Ekblad for the weekend.
Frk was called up prior to Monday's game vs. the Blues but did not play. This time he might get a chance. Dustin Brown is out with an illness, so Frk could make his Kings debut on Friday.
Mantha was body-slammed by Jake Muzzin in the Red Wings loss to the Maple Leafs and suffered an injury to his rib cage that will keep him out of a minimum of four weeks. Mantha had a terrific start to the season but injuries have completely derailed a career-year.
Nashville has a game on Friday but heads out on a four-game road trip on Saturday, so Tinordi will likely serve as an extra defenseman. Tinordi has five assists in 28 AHL games this season.
Frk has played great in the AHL this season, leading Ontario with 23 points (14G / 9A) in 26 games. He could make his Kings debut on Monday with Trevor Lewis dealing with an upper-body injury.
Mantha engaged with Jake Muzzin after a hit in the third period and ended up getting body-slammed to the ice by the Leafs' defenseman. Mantha's head hit the ice and remained down for a few minutes before being helped off of the ice. Sunday is the Red Wings' final game before the Christmas break, so it's entirely possible that he could be back for next Saturday's game in Florida but that is pure speculation at this point.
Barrie was forced to leave Saturday's game in Edmonton but will play tonight vs. the Sabres. Since the coaching change, Barrie has three goals and three assists (six points) in 11 games.
Farabee was suspended for his "interference" on Perreault in the blowout loss. Perreault is out with a concussion and Farabee will miss the next three contests. This is a poorly timed suspension for the Flyers, who were without Travis Konecny, Oskar Lindblom, Tyler Pitlick, Scott Laughton, Michael Raffl and Nolan Patrick on Sunday.
Bahl was a second-round pick (No.55 overall) in 2018 and is in his fourth OHL season. The 19-year-old defenseman has 20 points (5G / 15A) in 28 games with the Ottawa 67’s and is currently in camp for Canada’s World Juniors team.
Mantha will return to the Red Wings lineup on Saturday, so they've sent Dylan McIlrath back to Grand Rapids to make room for Mantha to be activated. Mantha, who has 12 goals and 11 assists in 25 games this season, will skate with Valtteri Filppula and Filip Zadina in Montreal.
Mantha has missed the last eight games with lower-body injury but could play Saturday in Montreal. Mantha skated again on Friday and told reporters that he's been medically cleared but needs clearance from GM Steve Yzerman. The Red Wings went 1-7-0 and scored only 1.63 goals per game without Mantha.
Kadri has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but will play vs. the Flyers on Wednesday. Kadri, who has 20 points (10G / 10A) in 27 games this season, will skate with Joonas Donskoi and Andre Burakovsky at even strength and is expected to be back on the top power-play unit.
Kadri has missed the lat three games with a lower-body injury but was a full participant in Tuesday's practice and may play vs. the Flyers. Kadri, who has 10 goals and 10 assists (20 points) in 27 games this season, will skate with Joonas Donskoi and Andre Burakovsky if he plays.
