The Kings have recalled Michael Amadio from Ontario (AHL).

Amadio, 21, had one goal in an eight-game stint with the Kings earlier this year but has spent the majority of his time in the AHL, where he has collected 34 points (11G / 23A) in 30 games. Amadio centred the Kings third line in Tuesday’s practice, so look for him to be in the lineup when they face the Penguins on Thursday.

The Sabres have reassigned Linus Ullmark to Rochester (AHL).

Ullmark was outstanding in his season debut on Thursday, turning away 44 of 45 shots in the Sabres win over the Blue Jackets. Ullmark is viewed as the Sabres goalie of the future but will go back to Rochester during the Sabres’ bye week and could return after the break. Ullmark could see an extended run with the Sabres if they elect to trade Robin Lehner like they are rumoured to.

Ullmark will make his season debut for the Sabres on Thursday.

Ullmark has appeared in 21 career NHL games but it looks like he will make his season debut tonight vs. Columbus. The Sabres believe Ullmark has a bright future ahead of him, so they’ll give him a shot tonight after he has gone 17-5-1 with a 2.27 GAA, .928 SV% and two shutouts in 26 games with Rochester (AHL). While he might be the Sabres goalie of the future, he will be in tough against Sergei Bobrovsky tonight.

The Sabres have recalled Linus Ullmark from Rochester (AHL).

Ullmark has enjoyed a lot of success at the AHL level this season, going 17-5-1 with a 2.27 GAA and .928 SV% in 26 starts with the Americans. There isn’t believed to be any injuries to either Robin Lehner or Chad Johnson so Ullmark’s call-up is a bit of a head scratcher unless they have something in the works.

Chabot has moved to the Senators top power-play.

The Senators have been terrible this season and their power-play sits at 25th in the NHL (15.9%). Chabot is a gifted young offensive-defenseman and after changing their power-play coach, Chabot becomes the quarterback of the top unit with Erik Karlsson on his left and Mark Stone on his right.

Perron (upper-body) took part in line rushes on Monday; may return to the lineup on Tuesday.

Perron has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury, but was buck at practice yesterday and could play tonight vs. the Ducks. Perron has yet to be cleared to play but a decision will be made after today’s morning skate.

Chabot will be back in the Senators lineup on Friday.

Chabot has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will replace Ben Harpur in the lineup tonight vs. the Islanders. Chabot brings a much-needed boost to the Senators offence that has gone cole recently. Chabot has picked up three assists in five games with Ottawa this season.

Perron left Friday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return.

Perron was labeled as day-to-day after the game, clouding his status for Saturday’s tilt in Arizona. Perron played just 9:58 TOI before exiting Friday’s game following a collision with Sharks forward Timo Meier. If Perron can’t play on Saturday, look for either Oscar Lindberg or Brendan Leipsic to move onto a line with Erik Haula and James Neal.
