Hamilton (undisclosed) will not play in Game 1.
Hamilton was set to return from a broken leg before he suffered a new injury in Training Camp 2.0. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour ruled him out for Game 1 vs. the Rangers on Saturday but said he's getting better and would not rule out a potential return during the five-game series.
Hamilton (undisclosed) reportedly expected to miss "weeks."
Hamilton reportedly suffered a new injury, unrelated to the broken leg which forced him to miss the final two and half months of the regular season. Sara Civ of The Athletic reported that Hamilton's absence is "in the realm of weeks not months." This is untimely news as the Hurricanes enter the hub city bubble and get set to face the Rangers on Saturday. Carolina was 11-7-3 (11th in the NHL) after Hamilton was hurt in mid-January.
The Golden Knights have agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract with Jack Dugan.
Dugan was selected in the fifth round of the 2017 draft and has agreed to turn pro after just two seasons at Providence College. Dugan was a Hobey Baker Finalist in 2020 after leading the nation with 52 points (10G / 42A) in just 34 games. The 22-year-old paced the league in assists, points-per-game (1.53), power-play points (22) and even-strength points (30). He'll likely start the 2021 season in the AHL but the Golden Knights have to be very pleased with Dugan's rapid progression since being drafted three years ago.

Allen is expected to start Wednesday in Anaheim.

Tatar is out indefinitely with an upper-body injury.
Tatar was originally labelled as day-to-day with an upper-body injury that he suffered on March 3rd but announced that he's out indefinitely on Tuesday. The most recent timetable could end Tatar's 2020 season.
Goalie Start
Allen will start Sunday in Chicago.
Pesce underwent should surgery and his recovery time is 4-to-6 months.
Pesce will obviously miss the rest of the 2020 season, including playoffs, and turn his focus to getting ready for training camp 2021. The Hurricanes will have to try and navigate through the playoffs without two of their top-3 defensemen but they added Brady Skjei at the deadline to help ease the loss of Pesce.
Tatar (upper-body) is not expected to play on Thursday.
Tatar suffered an upper-body injury early in Tuesday's game against the Islanders and is not expected to play in Tampa Bay. Artturi Lehkonen moved up to the top line after Tatar got hurt and Lukas Vejdemo was recalled from the AHL to take his spot in the lineup.
The Red Wings have reassigned Dennis Cholowski to Grand Rapids (AHL).
Cholowski played in the last three games with the Red Wings, playing just 12:00 TOI last night vs. the Avalanche. With the Red Wings off until Friday, Cholowski goes back to Grand Rapids, where he has 12 points (3G / 9A) in 27 games.

Markstrom underwent a minor lower-body procedure on Wednesday and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Markstrom's original timetable was 3-to-4 weeks and that could still be the case. Vancouver will likely release another update after he is re-evaluated in two weeks. Thatcher Demko will be the Canucks' starter until further notice, suggesting he could start the next eight-to-nine games in a row (with two back-to-backs).
The Hurricanes have placed Dougie Hamilton on LTIR.
The Hurricanes were busy on trade deadline day to they had to make some room and they did so by moving Dougie Hamilton to LTIR. To help make up for the loss of Hamilton and most recently Brett Pesce, the Hurricanes used the cap space to acquired Brady Skjei and Sami Vatanen.
Markstrom will return to Vancouver to be evaluated; expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks with a lower-body injury.
Markstrom was hurt in the Boston game on Saturday and underwent an MRI on Monday morning. He'll return to Vancouver to be re-evaluated and the Canucks will likely return a more detailed timetable after that. With Markstrom out, Thatcher Demko will serve as the Canucks' No.1 netminder and they made a trade for Louis Domingue today to give them a No.2 netminder.
Pesce's shoulder injury is not expected to be "short term."
Head coach Rod Brind'Amour met with the media on Monday and told reporters that none of their recent injuries are "short term." With Pesce set to miss some time, the Hurricanes could be in the market for a defenseman before today's trade deadline.
Siegenthaler will be a healthy scratch on Sunday.
Siegenthaler played 13:51 TOI in New Jersey on Saturday afternoon but will be replaced by Radko Gudas in the lineup vs. the Penguins.
Pesce (upper-body) is expected to be out for "a long time."
Pesce was hurt midway through Saturday's win over the Maple Leafs and did not return. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour did not have a good update on the 25-year-old defenseman, leaving them without two of their top-4 defenseman for an extended period of time. With the trade deadline on Monday, this injury could change how the Hurricanes operate in the next 24 hours.
