Lemieux, Tony DeAngelo, and Antti Raanta were all placed on waivers by the Hurricanes on Thursday as the team appears to be clearing cap space ahead of Friday's trade deadline. In 23 games this season, Lemieux has three points (2G / 1A).
Trade rumours circulating Walker for the last few weeks finally materialized on Wednesday in a trade sending him to Colorado. The 29-year-old Walker, in his first season with the Philadelphia Flyers, tallied 22 points (6G / 16A), 109 shots, 81 hits, and 98 blocks in 68 games.
Andersen was diagnosed with deep-vein thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolisms in November. He has actively participated in practice the last several weeks and should return to the lineup imminently. Anderson has a 2.87 GAA and .894 SV% in six games this season (4-1-0), and at the very least, he will likely return to a timeshare between the pipes.

As expected, Stankoven's "move" was purely financial, and he never actually left the team. The rookie has been excellent in his first four games with the Stars, scoring goals in three straight games, to give him four points (3G/ 1A) to begin his NHL career.
In presumably a paper transaction, Stankoven was reassigned to the Texas Stars (AHL). The 21-year-old has transitioned seamlessly to the NHL, scoring four points (3G / 1A) in four games while playing on a line with Wyatt Johnston and Jamie Benn.
Tokarski has been recalled several times this season but has not played a game with the Sabres yet. The 34-year-old has struggled in the AHL this season, with his 7-7-2 record, 3.47 GAA and .888 SV%. He last appeared in the NHL with Pittsburgh in 2022-23 and had a 1-2-0 record with a .897 SV%.
Jost began the season with the Sabres, scoring four points (2G / 2A) in 29 games, but was placed on waivers in December and has been with the Rochester Americans (AHL) since. In 23 games with Rochester, the 25-year-old Jost has 13 points (3G / 10A).
Martin will make his second start in three games as Carolina heads to Columbus to face his former team in the Blue Jackets on Thursday. The 28-year-old was claimed off waivers from Columbus in January and has been sensational for the Hurricanes with his 3-0-1 record, .925 SV% and 2.00 GAA in four games. He'll take on his old team on the road in Columbus, who have lost three of their last five games and are struggling offensively ranking 22nd in the NHL in goals per game (2.91).

The Hurricanes' goaltender carousel will continue on Tuesday as Pyotr Kochetkov returns to the crease after backing up Spencer Martin in a loss Sunday. The 24-year-old has been one of the NHL's hottest net minders as of late with his overall 15-10-3 record, 2.36 GAA, .910 SV% and 3 shutouts. He'll head to Minnesota to take on the Wild on Tuesday, who have won seven of their last nine games and are 14th in the NHL in goals per game (3.16).

Despite being held off the scoresheet, Stankoven was impressive in his NHL debut on Saturday, recording 15:20 time-on-ice while firing three shots on goals. He played on a line with Jamie Benn and Wyatt Johnston. Stankoven has spent the majority of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL, transitioning seamlessly in his first professional season, leading the league with 57 points (24G / 33A) in 46 games with the Texas Stars.
