Bertuzzi still isn't eligible to travel to Canada, so he won't play in Calgary, Edmonton or Vancouver. This is tough timing for the Red Wings, who lost Robby Fabbri for the season on Thursday. Taro Hirose was recalled from the AHL to fill in.
The Ducks will be without Ryan Getzlaf, Isac Lundestrom and Jakob Silfverberg on Thursday, so Robinson, Danny O'Regan and Vinni Lettieri were called up from the AHL. Robinson has split his season between the AHL and NHL, tallying four points (1G / 3A) in 23 games with the Ducks.
Bertuzzi missed Wednesday's practice due to a non-COVID illness and is questionable to play Thursday vs. the Wild. Expect Givani Smith to draw into the lineup if Bertuzzi can't go.

The Panthers open the week with a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday and Knight is expected to start one of those games.

Galvas has been recalled because Calvin de Haan is questionable to play Friday due to an undisclosed injury. The 22-year-old has no points in five games with Chicago and has 10 points (2G / 8A) in 32 AHL games.
Reichel has soured 14 goals with 19 assists (33 points) in 33 AHL games this season. The Blackhawks' top prospect will get another shot with the NHL but it's likely to be short-term again. He will once again skate on the top line with Patrick Kane.
Reichel is the Blackhawks' top prospect and has forced his way back into the NHL after dominating the AHL through 33 games. The 19-year-old leads Rockford with 33 points (14G / 19A) and should suit up for his third career NHL game on Friday.
