Boucher was the No.10 overall pick in this year's NHL Entry Draft and has scored two goals with one assist in 17 games with Boston University. According to Jeff Marek of Sportsnet, Boucher will be heading to the Ottawa 67's (OHL).
Cozens and Mark Jankowski were placed on the COVID-19 protocol list on Sunday, joining Zemgus Girgensons, Jeff Skinner and Vinnie Hinostroza, who were on the list prior to the Christmas break. Cozens and Jankowski will likely be out until the middle of next week--the other three are eligible to come off earlier.
Cousins is the latest Predators player to be added to the COVID-19 protocol list and will not be available on Thursday. The Predators will likely have to play a player short unless they recall another forward from Milwaukee (AHL).
Perron has been out since November 27th and his move to LTIR means he will likely be out at least until after the Christmas break. The move was made to create some cap space to deal with injuries to Robert Thomas and Brayden Schenn.
Batherson was activated from the COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday and will return to the lineup on Wednesday. Batherson was back on the top line with Josh Norris and Brady Tkachuk in Tuesday's practice and has seven goals and nine assists (16 points) in 14 games this season.
Pinto underwent surgery to repair the dislocation he suffered on November 13th and there is no timetable for his return.
Eller has been out since November 14th but was back at practice on Saturday and should be back in the lineup on Sunday. Eller has scored one goal with seven assists (eight points) in 15 games this season.
Perron was hurt early in Friday's overtime loss to the Blackhawks and did not return. The Blues have yet to provide an update on Perron's status, so it's unclear how serious the injury is. Consider him questionable to play Saturday until they release more information.
Zetterlund failed to record a point in his first three NHL games and played just 4:49 TOI on Wednesday. He was a healthy scratch on Friday after the Devils claimed Nathan Bastian off of waivers, so Zetterlund returns to the AHL. He has nine points (3G / 6A) in 10 games with Utica this season.
Cousins has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury but practiced fully with the Predators in Montreal for the past two days and should play Saturday. Cousins has one goal and two assists in 12 games this season.
