Attard was a third-round pick (No.72 overall) of the Flyers in 2019. The 23-year-old right-shot defenseman had 13 goals with 23 assists (36 points) in 39 games at Western Michigan University this season.
Nugent-Hopkins will play for the first time since February 26th. He will centre a new-look third line with Jesse Puljujarvi and newcomer Derick Brassard on his wings. Prior to getting hurt, Nugent-Hopkins had 37 points (7G / 30A) in 45 games.
Murray fractured his hand while blocking a shot on Monday and is expected to be sidelined for at least a couple of weeks. Kurtis MacDermid will likely move back to the blueline with Artturi Lehkonen replacing him up front.
Nugent-Hopkins will miss his 12th straight game on Tuesday but is set to play Thursday when the Oilers return to home-ice. It will be interesting to see how the Oilers deploy Nugent-Hopkins since the top-6 has heated up in his absence.
Stecher is in the final year of a two-year contract worth $1.7 million. Stecher provides the Kings with some serious injury concerns at the moment. They've been without Drew Doughty, Mikey Anderson and Matt Roy for the last few weeks. There was also a report earlier in the weekend that Doughty's injury may be more serious than originally feared, so Stecher brings a veteran presence to a team relying on a lot of young defensemen right now.
Janmark has missed the last 10 games with an upper-body injury but is set to return on the Golden Knights' third line on Thursday. Janmark has 17 points (7G / 10A) in 47 games this season.
