Bussi was recalled while Jeremy Swayman was away from the team due to illness but has been returned to Providence (AHL) upon Swayman's return Friday. The 25-year-old returns to Providence, where he was enjoying a successful start to the season with his 6-4-2 record, 2.58 GAA and .917 SV%.

Svechnikov was a very late scratch for Thursday's game with the announcement being made less than 10 minutes before puck drop. He did participate in warmups but evidently was not feeling well enough to play. Brendan Lemieux will enter the lineup in his place.

Kochetkov will get an immediate chance to redeem himself after last night's disappointing start in Edmonton. Kochetkov allowed three goals on the first six shots he faced before being lifted in favour of Antti Raanta, who hardly fared any better in the 6-1 defeat. Kochetkov owns an unflattering .871 SV% to go along with a 4-5-1 record on the season. He'll be hoping to get back in the win column on Thursday with the Hurricanes being -125 favourites over the Flames.

Robinson was traded from the Columbus Blue Jackets to the Sabres yesterday in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick and is expected to make his debut with his new team on Thursday. Robinson has a goal, nine SOG, and a -3 plus/minus through seven games this season.

Bussi is unlikely to see any action while he is with the Bruins but will likely serve as the backup on Thursday as Jeremy Swayman is dealing with an illness. Bussi has a 2.58 GAA and .917 SV% in 12 games with Providence (AHL), posting a 6-4-2 record.

Kochetkov will be back in goal for the Hurricanes on Wednesday after Antti Raanta got the call for Monday's game against the Jets. Kochetkov most recently stopped 20 of the 22 shots he faced enroute to a 6-2 victory over the Sabres on Saturday. He owns a 4-4-1 record and an .883 SV% on the season, and things won't get any easier for the young netminder on Wednesday as he's set to take on Connor McDavid and the Oilers.

Robinson has a goal, nine SOG, and a -3 plus/minus through seven games this season and has been traded to Buffalo Wednesday. The Blue Jackets' will receive a 2025 seventh-round pick for the 28-year-old and Buffalo receives a seven year veteran winger who has 38 goals and 82 points in 266 career games played and holds a $1.8 million cap hit for this season.

Smith has played 17 consecutive games for the Sharks but exited last night's contest after playing only 2:59 with a mid-body injury and was a game-time decision on Friday. Smith has been held off the scoresheet in six straight games and has three points (1G / 2A) in 21 games this season.

Robinson will be a healthy scratch on Monday as Mathieu Olivier and Kent Johnson will both draw back into the Blue Jackets lineup. Robinson has played five straight for the Blue Jackets and has one points (1G / 0A), averaging 12:40 time-on-ice in six total games this season.

Kochetkov has been tremendous lately and will start for the third straight game on Thursday as he searches for his third consecutive win. Kochetkov had a rough start to the season as he bounced back and forth between the AHL and NHL as the Hurricanes rotated three goaltenders but has found his footing since Frederik Andersen has been unable to play, recording a stellar .929 SV% in five appearances (3-1-0). The Hurricanes are -182 home favourites against a New York Islanders team that has lost two straight games and ranks third-worst in the league offensively (2.62 GF / GP).

Svechnikov was a last-minute healthy scratch on Tuesday due to an illness but is expected to return on Thursday against the New York Islanders. Svechnikov is coming off his best performance of the season, scoring two points (1G / 1A), his first goal, adding to his nine-point output (1G / 8A) through 12 games. The talented 23-year-old winger is still re-acclimating to the game after missing an extended period due to knee surgery and is averaging only 16:20 time-on-ice, nearly a full two minutes less than his totals from last season.
