Goalie Start
Campbell will start Thursday vs. the Hurricanes.
Jack Campbell struggled in his previous start, getting pulled after allowing four goals on 11 shots in a 4-3 loss to Calgary in the Battle of Alberta. After sitting in Edmonton's previous game Monday for back-up Stuart Skinner, he will be looking to bounce back after a shakey first two starts where he has amassed an ugly 6.00 GAA and .851 SV% on the back of signing a five-year deal with the Edmonton in the offseason. He draws the tough task of taking on the unbeaten Carolina Hurricanes (3-0-0) who have only allowed one goal in each of their three wins so far.
The Canucks have assigned Sheldon Dries to Abbotsford (AHL).
Dries did not appear in either of the Canucks first two games of the season and was sent to the AHL to make room for Noah Juulsen after Tucker Poolman was injured on Saturday. Dries had 35 goals and 27 assists (62 points) in 54 games with Abbotsford (AHL) last year.
Goalie Start
Campbell will start Saturday vs. the Flames.
Campbell will look to keep the Oilers rolling after an impressive 33-save opening night performance in a 5-3 win over Vancouver on Wednesday. The 27-year-old is facing his second Canadian rival in as many starts, taking on Calgary's high-powered offence; who scored five in their opener against Colorado Thursday.
Copp (abdomen) will play in the Red Wings season opener.
Copp missed the preseason but is ready to make his Red Wings debut on Friday. Copp will start on the second line with Jakub Vrana and David Perron on his wings.
Goalie Start
Campbell will start the Oilers season opener vs. the Canucks.
Jack Campbell will start his tenure as the Oilers' starting goalie Wednesday when he takes on division rivals Vancouver. The 30-year-old joins his third team in seven seasons after finishing 11th in Wins (31) in 2021-22 with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He also enjoyed a 2.64 GAA alongside his .914 SV%. He will look to get Edmonton back in the win column as they hope to return to the Western Conference Finals for the second straight season.
The Red Wings have assigned Simon Edvinsson to Grand Rapids (AHL).
Edvinsson was the No.6 overall pick in 2021 and enjoyed a solid preseason, recording one assist with 10 shots on goal in five games. Edvinsson will start the season in the AHL but will likely be the first defenseman to be called up when the Red Wings need a blueliner.
Talbot will miss five-to-seven weeks with an upper-body injury.
Talbot is expected to miss at least the first month of the season. The Senators claimed Magnus Hellberg off waivers from the Kraken to help provide depth behind Anton Forsberg while Talbot is out.
The Senators signed Tyler Motte to a one-year contract worth $1.35 million.
The Hurricanes have signed William Lagesson to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Rangers have re-signed Tim Getting to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Red Wings have re-signed Chase Pearson to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Penguins have acquired Jeff Petry and Ryan Poehling from the Canadiens for Mike Matheson and a 2023 4th round pick.
The Blues signed Dylan McLaughlin to a one-year, two-way contract.
McLaughlin spent four seasons with the Rockford IceHogs, finishing second on the team with 42 points (13G / 29A) in 55 games last season. He'll likely report to Springfield (AHL) for 2022-23.
The Kraken have signed Brogan Rafferty to a one-year, two-way contract.
Rafferty played the entire 2021-22 season in the AHL, scoring four goals with 20 assists (24 points) in 65 games with San Diego. He's only played in three career NHL games and will almost certainly start 2022-23 in the AHL.
The Panthers have signed Alex Lyon to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Capitals have signed Erik Gustafsson to a one-year deal worth $800K.
The Red Wings have signed Ben Chiarot to a four-year contract worth $19.0 million ($4.75M AAV).
The Red Wings have signed Marco Kasper to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Red Wings have signed Andrew Copp to a five-year contract worth $28.125 million ($5.625M AAV).
