Goalie Start
Markstrom will start the Flames season opener in Edmonton.
The Capitals have claimed Dennis Cholowski off of waivers from Seattle.
Cholowski was selected in the Seattle Expansion Draft but was waived on Wednesday. In Washington, Cholowski will likely battle with Trevor van Riemsdyk for playing tie on the blueline. He has 10 goals and 17 assists (27 points) in 104 career NHL games (all with Detroit).
Goalie Start
Allen will start the Canadiens season opener in Toronto.
The Canucks have acquired Noah Juulsen and Juho Lammikko from the Panthers for Olli Juolevi.
With the Panthers adding a bunch of bodies up front in recent months, Lammikko was set to lose his roster spot in 2022. The 25-year-old forward had four goals and one assist (five points) in 44 games with the Panthers a season ago but is known more for his defensive game and penalty killing abilities. With Brandon Sutter and Tyler Motte both out to start the season, Lammikko has a good chance to make an impression early.
The Kraken have signed Dennis Cholowski to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Jets have re-signed Johnathan Kovacevic to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Blackhawks have re-signed Mike Hardman to a two-year contract.
The Devils have signed Tomas Tatar to a two-year contract worth $9.0 million ($4.5M AAV).
The Hurricanes have signed Stefan Noesen to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Panthers have re-signed Juho Lammikko to a one-year contract.
The Devils have signed Dougie Hamilton to a seven-year contract worth $63 million ($9.0M AAV).
The Golden Knights have acquired Evgenii Dadonov from the Senators for Nick Holden and a 2022 third-round pick.
The Avalanche have acquired Kurtis MacDermid from the Kraken for a 2023 fourth-round pick.
MacDermid had two goals, two assists, 46 hits and 35 blocked shots in 28 games with the Kings. MacDermid was selected by Seattle in the Expansion Draft but will go to Colorado for the 2021-22 season. Given the Avalanche's depth on defence, MacDermid will likely serve as a reserve.
The Jets have acquired Brenden Dillon from the Capitals for a 2022 second-round pick and a 2023 second-round pick.
Dillon, who is 30-years-old, has three years left on a contract that carries a $3.9M AAV cap-hit. Dillon is a huge (6-foot-4, 225 lbs.) defenseman who brings a rugged style to the Jets' blueline that they were missing in 2020-21. Dillon ranked eighth among defensemen in hits (143) but is also capable of chipping in offensively, averaging three goals and 19 assists (22 points) per 82 games over the last four seasons. He'll likely eat up the minutes left by Derek Forbort (17:57 TOI/gm).
The Predators have acquired Cody Glass from the Golden Knights for Nolan Patrick.
Glass was the No.6 overall pick in the 2017 NHL draft but has had a difficult time landing a full-time role with the Golden Knights. The 22-year-old centre had 10 points (4G / 6A) in 27 games in the most recent NHL season and added 10 points (4G / 6A) in 14 AHL games. Glass gets flipped to Nashville for Nolan Patrick, who was acquired from the Flyers as a part of a trade for Ryan Ellis and was selected No.2 overall in the same draft as Glass.
The Devils have signed Colton White to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
White was selected in the fourth-round (No. 97 overall) in 2015 but has appeared in just 11 NHL games since, including two in 2021. White spent most of the season with Binghamton (AHL), where he had one goal and six assists. Look for him to start the 2021-22 season in the AHL once again.
The Devils have signed Jonas Siegenthaler to a two-year, $2.25 million contract extension.
Tatar is not on the ice for warmups; will not play in Game 6.
Line Change
Glass will draw into the Golden Knights lineup for Game 6.
